I want debt relief for the poor, she doesn't count

@LukeAlmighty depends on the game. With Dota-like games I think the only danger of ranked multiplayer is that it holds a false promise out to newbies: you can just lose games and fall to your level! :)
no, you have to scramble to play adequately or you'll have an absolutely miserable time and the MMR "at your (initial) level" is unpopulated, so you won't even get games.
With Savage 2, Natural Selection 2 like games, there's no need for rank matching but MMR tracking is still good for balancing teams.
With fast games like StarCraft 2 I think ranked multiplayer is ideal as the default way to play.

What I don't like is dodgy ranked multiplayer in casual FPSes. There was a PS3 game I played endlessly until they reworked the rank system and abruptly kicked me into the high echelons of play, where literally every single motherfucker that I found was a bunny-hopping glitchy tryhard that was completely unfun to play with or against, and I quit. I never would've climbed a ladder to play with people like that, my preferred way to play was 50% slapping mines onto trucks and suiciding them into people, and 30% manning fixed defenses and killing people with those, and only occasionally playing seriously.
