Ranked Armor Decay

I really like the idea of ranked armor but it feelsbad to have to wait almost whole year just to get the full shiny armor in the last split so i was thinking what if you make it like players get the full armor from the start of the season and you have to reach a certain goal through the split to keep the upgrade otherwise if you dont play and dont reach that goal you lose one armor upgrade so that way people will enjoy the full armor whole season and still have a reason to play rank and not lazy out and we will be able to spot players who doesnt play as much
