Is There A Point To Ranks Anymore?

Other posts in this entire forum has been answered this already. The Dev's have said Ranks don't mean any4hing with the new MMR

The things that bothers me about that answer is, then why are they even in the game anymore? If you're updating to a new matchmaking, then why keep ANYTHING from the old matchmaking, especially if according to them it "doesn't mean anything" (imo old Ranks do still SOMEWHAT matter, as an indication of time played if nothing else, which means the new MMR matching certain Ranks with people who have literally JUST STARTED PLAYING THE GAME makes it unfair and unfun for everyone involved)?

Take LoL for example, in order to play ranked in League you have to reach account Level 30 and own at least 20 different champs on that account. So even if this is their first time playing ranked they've probably AT LEAST played the game long enough to have the basics down and have an idea of how to play semi efficiently.

Now I'm not saying DBD should work exactly like League, my point is that the fact that a person who has only played DBD for 5 hours can literally be matched with or against (or both) someone with hundreds if not thousands of hours (and the grind in DBD is so insane that you'll probably only have a few perks by that time, and going against people who are fully kitted out while you're lucky to have a full set of perks, not to mention a full set of GOOD perks) makes DBD so unfun and unfair for new players, and really lessens the chances that they'll stick around and not just ask for a full refund.
