    Yes it is allowed, but if you DC too much, then you will get problems. (the DC rate has to be absurdly high though)

    Deranking has always been allowed and confirmed to be not bannable back in the days

    There are no rewards for ranking since 2 years

    Unless they DC too much, how are you going to stop them?

    Maybe a increasing time penalty, the more you DC?
    Thats how almost every other game handles DCing in ranked games

    I must not have worded my question well. 

    Say you penalize DCing to depip, and they find another way that doesn't involve DCing, how will you stop them?

    Aside from them using DC to depip, how will you stop them?
    Odds are good they will find a way to depip that doesn't involve DCing. 
    Added penalties to DCing will just lead to a different ways to depip.

    They already do this by suiciding on the hook for no real in game reason.

    Suicide on hook will depip you, and no worries about a game ban.

    I don’t want my Survivor to rank up.  Rank 8-9 is a nice spot.  A lot of variety in the Killers you see, and not much sweat.. Usually.  I don’t want to play with people who think they’re on the DBD worlds esport team.

    Bare in mind there is also a bug right now that crashes the client, so that's why there are so many disconnects. Mine crashes like 1 out of 6 games.

    On everything purple rank is the best due to the variety of killers you see, red rank is nothing but the same characters over and over and over with the best builds over and over and over. Once you hit red tanks everything lacks true variety.

    Inherently it is allowed, however.

    1. It is a pretty petty thing to do
    2. DCing to much WILL get you banned

    DCing excessively is bannable, but I'm pretty sure de-pipping will not get you banned.

    People depip because the game is broken.
    You are forced to play certain viable killers if you wanna do well because the devs dont want every killer to be viable (for some reason).
    Also there are ZERO rewards for ranking up, ranking up is easy AF and on top of that rank resets monthly

    Intentionally deranking is allowed, but certain methods aren't. You're allowed to intentionally disconnect for emergency situations like your house on fire or a family member getting injured, but you're not allowed to intentionally disconnect in order to derank.

    You are however allowed to intentionally play horribly in order to derank. If you want to try playing a game where you're only allowed to move around the map with the use of your power as Spirit or you're only allowed to get hooks with beartraps as Trapper, you're free to do so and will usually derank in the process.
