Please educate me on the purpose of this? (Deranking from immortal)

So my friends and I were playing competitive the other night and we came across a Reyna and Jett duo.
For some reason, they were playing very aggressive for no reason and we thought it was just a weird playstyle but we seemed to be losing and any form of communication seemed to do nothing. Once we started losing steady enough, they started landing shots more often and it seemed like they knew what they were doing.

Once we got to attack, we started winning and that is when they started taking spike and full running it down the garage. We tried communicating with them, but that didn't work and then we tried taking spike but because they had better ping/were faster in general, we couldn't get it.

We tried our best but it didn't work out we checked their history and it turns out they were Immortal last season and were deranking . Why would they do this ?

We weren't excessively upset by this , I'm really just genuinely curious about the benefits of this.
