You can keep your TR while resetting your PR(leave and rejoin a team), but the opposite does not hold true(if you get some guys to tank your TR, they're still feeding an equal amount of PR into the system). PR deflation is just a symptom of this problem. I totally agree with just removing TR completely since having two ratings with inconsistent calculations really just bogs the whole system down.

The only bandaid solution I have:
1) At the end of the arena match, anyone using gear with rating requiements would temporarily be boosted to that PR for rating calculation purposes: ie. in a 1700 rated match, someone with S3 shoulders would be boosted to 2000 PR even though their current PR might be 1500.
2) The other team gains/loses PR based on this new rating

This is just a bandaid solution of course, and would cause some PR inflation, but it'd stop people from grieifing other people's PR down at least. And getting the point recognition that you beat/lost to someone with gear you don't have access to would be nice too.
