In fact I see no incentive to push for masters league other than to earn the 1000 gems given by the achievement. As a fresh TH9 (as of today woot woot) I know that I am not adequately prepared to reasonably be in Masters or even Crystal leagues for that matter. It is much easier for me to loot in gold leagues while I improve my defenses and research higher level troops. I have never pushed to be in higher league because there is no reason to be in a higher league. I made it to crystal using my raiding army and will probably do the same to reach masters. Once I was in crystal I realized that the difficulty of raiding with barch or bam or whatever was too difficult so I dropped back into the gold leagues.
I am just lobbying for a small reward given to the defender or some sort of 'winning' 'losing' that makes sense. I think this could offer some kind of improvement to the trophy ranking system as you would see less people placing their TH outside their walls for a free shield, which in turn would lead to fewer players TH sniping their way into a league that is not appropriate for them.
