Why loose your rank? it seems pointless.

I'm not entirely clued up on it myself.

Although, I have a feeling it has something to do with perhaps lowering your rank so that you get matched up against people weaker/less skilled than yourself, as your Halo rank will not be representative of your actual skill.

At least, I think that plays a part.

The below statement is false.
The above statement is true.

Actually, the reason people derank is to get the system to be like "YO DIZ GUY AINT GUN GET BETTER" so when they team up with people, that person ranks up stupidly fast. It's as if the person that isn't a deranker gets both the deranker and his own rank up upon winning.

i hope that cleared it up a little
