Ranked system is bad. Fix it

Would also be cool if blizz would reveal how ranked, mmr, and matchmaking actually works.

See How Competitive Matchmaking and Rating Works (Season 19), especially the summary and the references for what Blizzard has said on the topic.

I’ve been playing on two accounts, this account and my main account which is gold border. They were both around the same rank but I kept losing on my main account and kept winning on this account. My main account is now low Plat and the matchmaking between these accounts is night and day difference.

You’re missing a lot of info here. How many games are you comparing on the two accounts? What is the SR of your alt? Lower SR games are expected to be lower quality, but also there are so many random factors that it is difficult to compare game quality between two accounts without a lot of games.

Then I came across this old post explaining how mmr works. Overwatch Forums

That post is gibberish, and contradicts pretty much everything the developers have said about how matchmaking works.

@Eluveitie-11346

Experienced accounts are deemed more valuable so these people are paired with worse players in attempt to balance the skill level of two teams.

Level is not taken into account in matchmaking. If two accounts are played by the same person, the same way, for 150+ games they will end about around the same rank.
