Of the three core activities that yeild a seasonal weapon and ornaments for each of the playlists, I thought it reasonable to look at what core activities give the quickest (and least painful) path to such ornament.
[spoiler]Context: While the ornements can be aquired after the season, there are seasonal challenges tied to the aquistition that require AT LEAST one ornament to get the 4k BD bonus. [/spoiler]
After aquiring all ornaments for each seasonal weapon since they were introduced, there are patterns on which playlist I have to spend the most amount of time in. Gambit, objectively, requires the most. Now this may not be the fault of rep balancing per match. I'm sure those were fine-tuned.
When Crucible offers double valor WITH added bonuses to the labs playlist, when strikes offer double rep WITH added bonuses for nightfalls, you can complete reputations ranks much quicker for little to no added time. My criqiue is gambit, despite being the lowest played of the three, has no such path to increase infamy further than double on the occasional week.
I could use this post to state a solution, be it rep tweaking or the frequency or multiplier of certain weeks giving bonus. But I only post this as a critque, how you address it is up to you.

I agree. I do the 9 weekly matches until I hit pinnacle cap then completely stop until double infamy weeks. I usually get the ornament during the 2nd double infamy week.
