The Iron Banner reward structure is among the worst in the game.
I’m rank 8 and have not seen a single Iron Banner drop, but I get multiple crucible drops nearly every match.
Why doesn’t the activity drop its own gear regularly? Why does the activity that’s only available for 3 weeks a season drop its own gear so incredibly infrequently? Make it make sense.
Meanwhile I get to focus one weapon every rank up and it’s slowly and unrewardingly draining my shards. An entire reset could be focusing for one weapon and not getting what you want. What if you want more than one weapon with a specific roll?
It’s just so obviously and incredibly unreasonable.
