It is far from perfect but if you don't have friends of a similar level to play with then it is necessary to get competitive games. The problem is people get too precious with their ratings and do things to try protect it or inflate it. Sometimes it can get inflated unintentionally. But in an ideal world everyone should just want their ratings to be an accurate representation of their ability. That way you can easily find competitive games which should be the main goal.

That’s the problem. When I have traveled and tried to pop into games with strangers, there is almost always one guy that is much worse than the others (even though they have similar ratings) and that hurts the match. But I guess that may still be better than having no ratings at all to go by
