To me it seems quite simple. If you're opponent can afford to plow everything they have into one unit, you're probably taking that unit in too small a point sized game because you're not presenting enough target choice.

There will be some exceptions in both strategy and army make up. I took a Brass Scorpion for example (something I would consider a bit weaker than a Knight) in a 2k point 3-way game and it wrecked face because there wasn't just the BS to worry about for either opponent, yet i've taken it in a 1v1 game and all of a sudden it is the most obvious and threatening target.

You could even say that, due to scaleability, bigger point games just mean more lascannons to share around but then, all of a sudden, you have a nice balanced army and you've got some tought troops to throw their way that LCs aren't too hot against (let's say three units of Khorne Berserkers lead by Kharn, all in rhinos). That line up presents a very different threat. Focus on the Scorp, or the rhinos and then if you don't knock out the rhinos, deal with death itself.

Moral of the story, stop being a dick and trying to bring a huge f-off Lord of War to a skirmish and balance your army better.
