This is why I never bothered getting into counter strike ranked, exact same problem, logging into a ranked match out of curiosity to see if the experience would be any better. It was a million times worse, logged in with a bunch of noobs, couldn't do a damn thing because they'd get wiped within five seconds and it was just me against 4 other obviously not noob players on their smurf accounts.
Ranked matchmaking was a mistake and I will never play a multiplayer game with it, it immediately leads to griefing behaviour.
Ranked isn't even fun, just stressful and makes unfair/unintended strategies very powerful that ruin games. We need to go back to just having the K/D ratio be the main thing.
