Can somebody explain to me why having no ties is a big deal?

Football is a game of tactics. Played over a season in league competition, a draw (or a tie) earns both teams a point. Rather than simply 'winning' or 'losing', teams can play for a draw if the situation deem it necessary. In cup competitions, there MUST be a winner, which is where replays, extra-time and penalties come in. Taking out the concept of playing for a draw in league games or two-legged cup ties (such as in the Champions League) would diminish the game greatly, saturating it further, unecessarily.
