    Just get good man
    I am a lv21 NK with common6 rare5 epic4 legendary3 in the 7500+ arena

    only around 5% players are de-rankers to me
    But sound like it is 100% to you

    If like you said almost all players are derankers who you cannot win, maybe you need to win somewhere else

    That's how it is though right? When you lose it's much, much easier to blame it on deranking, energy cheating, the sun in your eyes, etc. Much harder to take a good look at your deck and your play style (recording yourself and watching the video... my god that is so helpful).

    That said, deranking is definitely still a thing, just nowhere near as bad as it was.

    100%? Really? Then the token hunter with 4 lvl4 legendaries and lvl7 commons I encountered several times in lower silver at the last event must be an illusion? Some of them seem to not have incentive to move up at all for the floor thing to actually work. I would say his name, but I know about the naming and shaming policy here.

    Not that it's preventing deranking 100%, but that the floor calculation is working 100% and stopping you from going lower than you should be able to go based on last season and this season max position.

    Doesn't stop people from never advancing and holding themselves low. But that's what I wrote above, almost exactly.

    yea gets tiresome, had this on tuesdays event, reached my highest rank ever (cos i'm not a **** and actually want the best) before losing a few, dropping a bit, while trying to go higher, switched to sci-fi and bam.... right down to 7000s, trying to recover all this rank? oh yea masses of 5 epics 4 leggies etc, sitting at similar levels so I feell even more, using the EXACT SAME DECK that got my highest rank, I fell to almost my floor, I wasn't deranking, others were, and this is the result. spent most of the next few days stuck at 7200s before climbing back up, each time playing air and honest, so yea, it is really time this was nipped in the bud because this situation cost me some bottlecaps on one of the days due to be sub 7k

    There are players like - who derank and then provocate with instant lau-hing and crying looping. I wish the devs would find a better way but I think you must live with a lot of idiots in this game

    Didn't know they deranked... but he does take emote spam to a ridiculous new high. Instant emote mute when I'm matched with that guy!

    I just mute the game... not worth putting up with griefers, people who don't like your deck, etc...

    Deranking has already begun... Always "funny" to see how much easier PvP is all week, until the weekend event starts. All of a sudden its full of people with overlevelled cards and NKs.

    That or my matchmaking is always extremely unlucky whenever events are on
