You know of racisme, now here comes rankcisme.
Being Rankcist is dislinking somone based of their rank in different games, like League of Legends and other online games with a ranked ladder.

This is can become clearer when you are flaming someone for being silver and say "I dislike the color grey, it reminds me of silver players"

rankcism 

Generally a gaming term, but can be used anywhere.

The belief that someone's rank or label (commonly in a matchmaking system) is inferior or superior to others' ranks or labels.

For example, if a player has a high rank and encounters another player with a new rank, the first player may demean the other player or call them a noob just for having that low rank.
