Yes and no. It's not designed to "get people out of low rank", but it will do that indirectly. The point of rank decay is to get those who PVP regularly and stay in the top 100 to be forced to keep pvping and keep winning to stay there. What this does is it increases activity and shortens queue times, meaning those that are in low rank have more opportunity to participate. It makes the content more balanced overall, and it means that towards the end of the season you still have a chance of making the top 100, rather than missing the boat to those who got in early.
