And I wonder why we should not be able to just request a rank reset?

I don’t think it’s something to be able to do “at will”, because that’s what sandbaggers dream of being able to do, but “for a reason, we’ll do it” seems … reasonable?

I think it was originally an option but if I recall correctly it was removed because of too many requests and it was a hassle. It was mentioned a bit here.

Moderators also have to manually adjust ranks a lot for legitimate reasons, which requires effort from both players and moderators; and if that doesn’t happen, it can take dozens and sometimes hundreds of games to find their correct rank, all the while they are affecting other players’ ranks negatively along the way.

@anoek

For the moderation team, it means much less work adjusting ranks and having to deal with sandbaggers or fake dans.

@GreenAsJade

I wonder why you would do that instead of just creating a new account?

why do sandbaggers also not just create a new account rather than losing games on purpose?

Maybe some people like their account history or current username, maybe it’s annoying that you still have to do some messing around on a new account to get to the rank you want anyway, though maybe less so with the pick your rank feature.
