This really shows that rank means nothing in this game. Players with good game sense and aim can be held back because of how bad the experience is for lower ranked players. Platinum and below you are basically asking to get giga smurfed on if you decide to queue up with friends. The amount of boosted kids in gold/platinum and other factors like throwers makes the ranked experience horrible. There is zero punishment for throwing games, getting boosted or for boosting. Why should players have to play through smurf/thrower lobbies and be told to just get better and carry. The ranked system needs real changes to improve the experience for the majority of the player base who actually gets effected by these issues.
