Iron Banner Is Extremely Unrewarding

I'm sure this has been posted about quite a bit, but it is true. Currently sitting at gilded Iron Lord, rank 14 on my next reset, and I STILL am missing armor pieces on characters. I have been playing all 3, all week, and practically nothing but IB. With the amount of games played, my armor sets should have dropped ages ago. Yet I am without a chest piece for my Titan, and a bond for my Warlock. My Hunter got his last item as the 18 match pinnacle reward, thankfully. However, I have been playing my Titan for hours today and no luck. I've had plenty of the regular crucible rocket launchers (why is that in the reward pool during a limited time event; absurd) and even old or seasonal activity armor though (why am I getting a Terra Concord chest instead of an Iron Banner chest, while playing IB). How can this possibly be seen as rewarding? The rewards for this iteration of IB have been atrocious. This might be the most defeated I've ever felt playing Destiny 2. Even with my Vex Mythoclast taking almost 50 boss clears, it didn't feel as bad as this. Putting hours upon hours into the grind for no reward, or the same reward that shouldn't be in the loot pool to begin with. Another example: I won a match, top of the leader board on my team, and overall. End game rewards? Literally nothing. Not even one of the rocket launchers for the umpteenth time. Nothing. Does that even make sense? Is multiple hours, over multiple days, while running 3 characters, during a limited time event, not enough player engagement?

Why is this even happening? Additionally, turning in engrams at Rahool and getting repeat armor multiple times (arms for Titan) but not a piece you have yet to acquire feels absolutely terrible. So today alone, a minimum of 12 engrams turned in with no chest. This doesn't include the IB engrams turned in before my first reset either.

    • Haven’t ever reset my IB rank since they implemented that system. The rewards aren’t worth wasting that much time for.

      • Putting the shader behind a second reset is aids

        • Bro this entire game and franchise is extremely under rewarding. I've never played a game that had such a poor ROI on players invested time.

              It’s all going concording to plan 😂🤣 - old

              It wouldn’t be so bad if it was just Iron Banner that was unrewarding. The only thing I’ve found to be rewarding in a long time was Trials with solo queue matchmaking. I’m trash at PvP but got full armour sets for all 3 characters along with the weapons in a weekend.
