There is no reason for players of higher ranks to "unequip" them, The berserker killer and Uchiha Sarada, considering the Underdog system grants nothing more than an appropriate but still small boost intended to help ensure that players of lower levels and ranks do not effectively become punching bags. It does not by any means equalize the rank difference -- and especially not the level difference -- in a given match, let alone grant the lower-level-or-rank player an "advantage" of any sort. This is simple mathematical fact. There are certain exceptions, but such cases, while undesirable and unfortunate, are frankly not very problematic.
As referenced above, it is certainly true that there are issues with calculation of effective level; this is most notable with, for instance, a Rank 29 player fighting a Rank 32 player. Ranloth already described the limitations and issues associated with resolving that concern, and in all honesty that issue is not nearly pertinent or damaging enough to warrant a nerf or removal of Underdog Mode -- especially when taking into consideration the fact that Underdog I is not noticeably better than two ranks.
There are also the concerns with people purchasing rank slots but not applying them as well as people buying the rank slots that affect only NPC battles before other slots; however, it is entirely the fault of the player in question, and it is likely and quite advisable that most people would first utilize the ranks that affect PvP, respectively.
I understand that the balance updates will take some time to get used to, but they are objectively for the better. With respect to Strength, builds that use the stat as a focal point are still very viable (Strike spam and all); they simply cannot be as readily abused as they were before, as Ranloth explained, nor can they additionally abuse sidearms. In regards to legendary ranks (as most concerns people have with Underdog seem to be attributed to Level 40), lacking the power to easily cripple almost all lower-rank-or-level players to the ground is not by any means "unfair."
If my tone in the above statements seemed harsh or antagonistic, I would like to sincerely apologize; such was assuredly not my intention. ^^
