derank
Drop in tier
To derank is to lower in rank or standing.
In gaming, players derank when they lose enough matches to drop to a lower tier: I deranked twice last night.
In online platforms, content may be deranked—pushed down in search results or feeds without being removed entirely: The algorithm deranked posts with external links.
