That's true, but if loot drops are not related to performance, that must mean they're random. So are you willing to just get demolished in the iron banner for the hope of some random loot drops? Also, there are things that require iron banner rep points to purchase. If you're getting throttled game after game, it's going to take you a long time to get enough rep points to purchase what you're looking for. Does that make any sense? _Ohuigin
