I don't really get the point of prestiging up. The only three reasons to do it, is to feel cool when you join a match, let everyone know how hard you've worked for it, and so the enemies might get nervouse when they play against you.

First off, to feel cool when you join a match. Skill level isn't calculated by a badge next to your name. If you are actually good enough, your skill will speak for itself, and you can feel even cooler, when you kill a prestige 10, with prestige 0.

Secondly, to let everyone know how hard you've worked for it. If I wanted prestige 10, I would just go into bot matches with my friends, like everyone else. All it really shows is that you've most likely just wasted a bunch of time in private match.

Thirdly, so the enemies might get nervouse when they play against you. Just the fact that they see your name should do this. As said before, your skill level will speak for itself. When you join a match, and you rape everyone, every match you play. After a while, people will remember you. When they see that they're against /you/ (not the prestige badge), and they will quake in their stockings, or rejoice if they're on your team.

So really, there's no good reason to prestige up, unless you actually don't have the skill to play, and just want your self asteem to be boosted.
