I don't even play PvP, and I agree with this. Still, some manner of reward should be given for a loss otherwise many players wouldn't even bother queuing up.
Oh I agree, even if you lose you should still get rewards, but the game should incentivizing you to get wins.
In no world should the enemy team that lost and went 0-5 in trials (example) should be getting the exact same amount of drops as me when our team won :(?
Again, I agree with you. This isn't a matter of elitism or gatekeeping since I'll never, one more time for emphasis, [b]NEVER[/b] go Flawless or reach the top tier in Comp but I still maintain the premise of giving out Adepts (when they were a thing) or similar rewards just for showing up was a foolish move on Bungie's part.
There needs to be a reason to climb the mountain, not just "Hang out at base camp and get the same rewards." Sorry, I feel like I strained that metaphor a bit.
