Definitely "a" way to go about it. Though we gotta be careful with the approach - if we want it to be generally encouraged to get into ranked pvp, the... entire system needs overhaul with rewards. If players get no reward-based feedback that they are growing as a PvP Ranker (think, Wolfmarks but ranked, with its own shop), then players can get incredibly frustrated until they even reach the range of Diamond+ to begin with.

But if someone still gets things even while not being close to Diamond+ yet, it keeps encouragement going, because failing to reach Diamond+ will not result in effectively wasted time, like how the Tier rewards are right now (they're awful - X000 Trophy Crystals based on the level of your tier + copypaste adventureplate parts arent a good reward).
