With all due respect Aya, Sera wasn't being rude or arrogant he was being straightforward. He's right. Ranking is what matters. You can't say that because you have 12,000 games you can play every faction as good as a 2K rated player. They understand things and are capable of doing things that we can't at level 1400. Rating is what matters. I have 5,000 games which is like twice as much as many of the 2ks I play with but I am a fraction of the player they are.
Reading the deep insights that FTX (and others) outlined in this post basically answered all of your points, you're just not wanting to accept them.
