deranker is someone who deranks to help out there friend rank up and by losing a lot of games their friends will go up more faster

but why do they play against us, if they dont want or need to? they want to find their friends and if they find us, they also play the whole match (and loose)...?

I think it messes up the TrueSkill system and makes it easier to rank up.

It works exactly the same as negative experience boosting. People would quit out of hundreds of games to get a ton of losses, which then, when partied up with their friends would result in them levelling quickly (1-50 in around 20-30 games).

Bungie caught on to that and started handing out bans to those who quit out of too many games in succession, so people have started deranking as a work around. Usually it's done with a turbo controller, anyone who actually sits there losing is a complete nerd.
