It is intended to be a ranking system, but in practice it just isn't. If removing chat functionality and stacking with friends was the perfect solution to cheating/toxicity then other games would have done this years ago. I have faith that they can tighten it up, but right now there's literally no reason to play Ranked at all because Casual is the exact same experience with less of the baggage.
