So the spectacle bonus is basically Gordon's never wins ability made universal?

Bingo. We hadn't thought of that when we made it, but that's exactly how it's supposed to work (though a bit more forgiving). Part of what makes mercs such a hard game to play is that losses are absolutely crushing and binary. If you win you get infra, if you lose you get jack shit to justify your spent cooldowns or limited use abilities (in M5's case, Fatigue spenders). This makes people avoid going to topic, because doing Mercs-style arguing is already draining, but then LOSING after doing your best like that smashes your morale. This should go a long way towards encouraging people to fight, since it'll stop feeling like a loss means your world is ending due to you getting something for your efforts.
