Subject: Can someone explain to me why people de-rank

Just want to know. I don't get why people want to lose.

The TU will kill Halo Reach.

A ton of losses will boost a teammate's rank.

A guy looses constantly. He wins a match. His teammates will have large jumps in TruSkill rank. He was expected to lose and won.

Deranker accounts are always expected to lose, so when a new account wins and is heavily expected to lose (because of the deranker), they rank up fast.

The reason people derank is so that they can lose a lot of games, and therefor be expected to lose a lot more.

I'm listeni- Oh wait I don't give a -blam!- what you have to say.

Because they're nerds who still think that manipulating a dead ranking system in a dead 4 year old game is important.

Don't think I'm stupid, but what exactly is de-ranking?
