well without rank, half of the hardcore pvp players won't bother. Others like the chance of incentive. Skill=\= luck

Yea but I literally only get items if I do bad, for example last night I played 5 or 6 games where I was first in the game by a good ammount. I didnt get a single item the whole time, then about an hour after that I played one more game where I got destroyed, I joined near the end and only managed to get one kill. Guess what I got? A legendary engram...

Here allow me to tell you how probability works. It is lets say 1/1000 chance to get an exotic, and the rest are of a similar # or chance ratio. You do 20 games it's not going to change your chance. It will still be 1/1000 for each game you play. It's a coincidence you get something from doing poorly nothing more.

I would agree except that it clearly isnt just random. Based off of the games ive played if it were truly random the odds of the person in last always getting items would be very low, but it happens multiple games in a row multiple times a day. Way to often to be truly random, it would be like flipping a coin 30 times and being heads every time. Yes its possible but just barely, and the odds are astonomically small.
