Well i have been thinking about what to call the new icup rank. I don't want to just say noob, because that's just mean. However i also don't want to say purple computer / mouse rank because that is dumb. Sadly as most of you know, that rank is not a simple letter. so in the mean time what have you been referring to it by?

My personal favorites are:

Purple
Purple Drank
Purple Shame
Purple People
Purple Comp
Bad Purple
Purple Skillz


Any more suggestions, or is there a clear decision on this yet?

No way smurfs would fall to that level. If they did, that would mean they had to give out like 12 free losses in a row to noobs which would then kinda make up for them stomping noobs a bit.

"Purple shame" made me lol

I have no idea how to call people with this rank or the rank itself :/ I hope iccup change it to something else like if there's Olympic for best player, lets make Special Olympic for worst

E rank is probably easiest since it makes sense to go: Olympic (sometimes S rank) A B C D E. I think it'd be funny to just call it Z rank. Or F rank, since in American school grading system we go A B C D F (skip E for some reason, idk why)

Go with E rank.

The mouse and keyboard icon basically mean you probably are so bad you don't even own a mouse or a keyboard, and you should go out an buy one (playing solely with a touchpad or something lol)

I'm still partial towards "CPU rank" myself.

Why put something negative on people that arent as good of a player as you?

Simply put, its just another rank, just like D-/D/D+/C/C-
Just cause your in D doesnt mean we call you the red nooblets or some shit like that.

You guys are just assholes to new players.
