I'm fairly new to the game (played a bit in beta + act1 and 4/5 games In act 4) (bronce 3) and all my lobbies are silver2-gold2. It's frustrating to climb ranks because I'm not playing people of my rank. My question is, if the lobbies are determined by mmr then what are ranks for? Makes 0 sense to me

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE HELPING LEARN THE RANK SYSTEM!!!

There are flaws, and everyone has their opinion of how it should/should not function. But the whole community can talk on it better, and provide better feedback, if they understand it(and why we do certain things). You are all amazing, and I hope you have a great week!

(The answer to this, linked by a couple people, is correct and something I wrote about a while ago!)
