Why "Rank Demotion" Shouldn't Really Exist

@Palette24caratsWhat pros need:
Master 4 at 15k
Master 3 at 18k
Master 2 at 21k
Master 1 at 24k
What WE need: no more bronze to master challenge, no more higher skilled players in our games/rank, no more demote diamonds, masters and preds to bronze 4, 20 points per KP, less points for placement.
Simple.
But I expect them to do nothing for us anything for them.
@Palette24carats Just to let you know, they can do a rookie to pred challenge as well. Yup, that's right! The game lets you derank into the rookie ranking. A rank teir that's meant to be for new players or those who never played rank before. How much sense does that make? None... that's how much sense it makes.
@dSKyNafinchin The only problem with that is the rank rewards, since players would already be in their highest rank achieved. You'll get players who would just not play rank and accumulate rewards they didn't earn. At most derank them to the last rank, (diamond I -> plat I) , and keep them there. If they want the diamond rewards, then they have to earn it again. They also shouldn't be allowed to be deranked after that point. Either that, or require the player to rank up within the rank division, (gold IV -> gold III) to be eligible to get the rank rewards. Maybe a derank to <rank> IV and then require them to reach <rank> III for rewards would work alright. Although again, the use of smurph accounts is just going to undermind that anyways.
In what universe is this non-sense okay? EA and Respawn can no longer claim the game has "skill based matchmaking". If you can get into masters and pred, you're clearly way too good for anything lower, such as gold.
Edited:
Its clear that neither EA nor Respawn cares about the state of their game and that's honestly just sad. My teammates for the match below was a level 16 and a level 40. Yeah, that makes 100% sense, and is so "skill based matchmaking".
Hahaha, kidding, matchmaking is broken, SBMM doesn't exist, and the game is just a pred/cheater lobby 24/7. I might as well go play another game.Both Octane and Seer are complete randoms. Why are they even allowed to be in a gold lobby with their kind of ranks? To me, if you're diamond or above in a gold or below lobby, you're smurphing. If you derank to rookie IV and have achieved diamond or above, you're also smurphing. This sort of thing should thus not be allowed. It says both were "diamond" players in season 14, why on earth were they allowed to derank down into gold?
Season 15... why is this still allowed?
- @Midnight9746 There is something you need to know about your post... the S13 badge in the corner was just introduced in Season 14 and believe it or not it was totally bugged!!! It would display everybody as a Rookie S13 except yourself most of the time... so all the images you share on the first post are totally invalid... those players were not factually Rookie in S13. Now in season 15 this bug is solved (because they needed to create that previous rank database I guess) and it now display the correct previous season rank of everybody.
- @Midnight9746 Yep! Imagine; Masters are part of the top 1% of players which means they will consistently win fights against 99% of random players imagine you put them against lower skilled players in a lower rank= total domination we don't even stand a chance. And they say the problem is that we used to rank too high,crap.
