While it makes sense in theory, there is a problem. If you do things like the give loser an advantage, you essentially punish those who are better and make them less "good." What this does is make those who have the actual skill to compete at the top have to get even better to beat the advantages given to the loser. Eventually, those who are really good (or cheating), will get better again, making the advantages have to go up to level things out. Its not that an unbalance playing field is bad, because if skill counts for nothing, then there is no point in learning. however, its the unfair, unstopible advantages that bug people. I can be the best sniper in the world, but if you can see through the wall I'm hiding behind, my shot doesn't mean a thing because you can sneak up on me and kill me.
