Why? Why not?

I don't care about the ranks themselves, but I am tempted to give it a go and see if it results in better matchmaking than standard play.

Personally, I wouldn't enjoy playing with a bunch of other people who are tryharding or are toxic, and theres no way I can convince 5 friends to play regularly, so there's no way I would enjoy ranked. Its bad enough as it is.

Ranked is solo queue only, so you wouldn't be able to play with those 5 friends anyway.

People can't queue for ranked if they've received any kind of sanction for text/voice chat.

I've played one game of ranked and everyone was on their best behavior. The other team even paused for someone on my team needing to restart the game a couple times.

It'll turn into a cesspool though obviously.
