Halo: CE Anniversary Achievement Idea
C-C-C-CANNON BREAKER!
Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

They derank to verse players of a lesser skill in matchmaking and completely stomp them. It's retarded in my opinion. :/

They usually do it with the intention of boosting someone in that playlist later on.

No, the entire purpose of deranking is to ensure that the person deranking won't be able to rank up fast. It helps the teammates of the deranker rank up faster though.

What doesn't kill you, only makes you stranger

My friend De-ranks, he does it to Rank up faster. Bungie thinks he is really bad and he goes up faster.

its also better to stay a high rank so you get better experince in the game then beating the heck out of noobs

de-rankers are annoying when they're on your team, love em on the enemy team though

i once got 2 EXP taken off me for no reason at all

i played a team slayer match, got a decent score and k/d and it took away my EXP rather than giving it to me, i hadnt betrayed anyone or quit any previous matches...

Don't you know? When you have the General Insignia next to your name, everyone bows down to you because you are a UBER L337 MLG PRO HAX0R XxXxxxxxxXXxXX BR EPIC FOUR SHOTxxXxxxxxxXXxxXXx

But seriously, derankers are just kids who have no lives.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo:CE > Reach > ODST > Wars

People de-rank to amuse themselves on Halo when playing properly bores them. Also it is done to trick the true-skill levelling system in Halo into thinking that player is awful at the game, so when they win with someone who is amazing, they rank up extremely quickly. Boosters often derank to go up faster. Its unfortunately a very irritating thing about Halo at the moment, but if it bothers you, avoid, file a complain, or just have fun playing social rather than ranked. :)
