Feedback, Please remove deranking out of Master Ball

It just feels really bad you work all the way to Master Ball then get a string of bad luck lose several games and you can derank back to Ultra Ball 4.

It would be nice if whenever you got to the next ball tier you can't derank out of it. This gives you some time to adjust your deck try out new decks for fear of deranking.

However if there there is any changes it should be once you get masterball from the season you can't derank out of it, some people hit masterball and then immediately quit playing because they could lose their rank and thus lose their emblem for the season.
