First off, no matter how many resources you recovered you always make it to the crucible. You could be Commander Shoots-Everything-and-Generally-F***s-up-All-the-Time Shepard and yet your meager fleet is always enough to make it to the Crucible. So what if you saved everyone? What if you made every diplomatic choice possible and united the galaxy as a whole under the banner of kicking Reaper a**? Do we ever see what could happen? No. Because we never ever see the fight and it's always the same in the particular instance. I'm sure they could of at least caused some serious damage to the Reaper fleet, AT THE VERY LEAST. Seriously, there hasn't been a cycle yet that this has happened. Hell, the Protheans were pretty much decimated when the Citadel was activated, but that didn't happen with this cycle. Sure, Sovereign caused a bit of damage but that's mostly because he took everyone by surprise. But since those two years the weapons and ships have been upgraded somewhat while the Reapers have relatively stayed the same. Could you really say that the fleet would never stand even a slight chance with those odds? Even if you did everything you could have possibly done?
