Competitive play and Meaning (Destiny)
This is a brilliant explanation of the problem.
Any ranked play should only provide cosmetic rewards, if any.
Hell, even tying non-cosmetic rewards to winning just makes future matches even more lopsided in favor of the victors, and drastically increases salt on the losing team. It's not fun at all.
If the same two teams play against one another 50 times, the hope is it would be a 25-25 split, but the reality is that, even if the teams are equally matched (but ties are not allowed), whichever team wins first and gets the non-cosmetic reward will now have an easier time in game 2. And so forth.
No loot system should be based on a "the rich get richer" system, and - unfortunately - Destiny 1's absolutely is.
