Came here to say this too.

As someone who is over 40, has 3 kids, chronic disease, limited time, and just hit Platinum for the first time ever I can honestly say I love seeing people improve and progress even if it’s “only” Silver or Gold. Everyone should be measuring against themselves and that’s it.

I've said this before but - I care a lot about Ranked being for *everyone* that wants to take the game seriously. It's not just for pro players who compete at our ALGS events, it's not just for content creators that regularly drop 20 bombs. As long as you think "Hey I like playing this game and I think I want to get better at it in a setting that has a bit more structure" - I want Ranked to be the mode for you to do that.

That means inevitably that some people will be unhappy with how Ranked is structured as it doesn't suit their particular needs as well as it could. In particular I admit - it is hard to say that being #1 on the Ranked ladder means you are much "better" than #300 for example, but it is a balancing act to try and make sure Ranked works as well as it can for as many people as it can.
