What's the point of ranked at the moment?

I just no longer get it. At the moment, I see little to no difference at all between ranked and unrated. I used to think ranked was a place where one could usually get close matches because there is something that (ideally) more or less objectively indicates your skill level. Hence, by being paired up with people of similar skill level one should be on close matches more often than rarely. What I've got lately is just a bunch of games where nobody communicates (gold), there is always someone who gets +150 match points above the second fragger (who outplays everybody), complete lack of coordination and a pretty big skill gap between one team and the other. All this just makes ranked games completely frustrating and boring. And I think this even on those games where I end up being match mvp, because it just makes no sense that I can top frag on a gold 2+ lobby and be bottom fragger on a silver 2- lobby the game after.

I feel that ranked got completely random these last patches and I hope I'm not the only one experiencing this because that would mean Riot should definitely do something about it.
