Matchmaking and ranks in general... It isn't funny anymore.

At first, it was funny to be randomly matched with/against people 15-16 ranks below/above your rank but after seeing this every 2-3 if not every game, this seriously isn't funny anymore. And the most interesting part is that despite the matchmaking system not giving a single sh*t about what rank people are and throwing random players in or trying to make a rainbow out of ranks, the queue times still end up being long as f*ck (but not always). So why does it take so long to find a match if in the end, all I'm getting is 4 randomly picked players each from a different rank? Why isn't the free-for-all casual-type matchmaking instant in a game with 43k+ players at nearly all times?

Why don't we remove the ranks and make the queue times much quicker by skipping the matching by ranks part? What's the point of having the rank system if matchmaking doesn't take ranks into consideration when making a lobby and only makes people wait for absurd amounts of time for nothing?
