Right now, I think rank doesn't mean much. The way the current League system works, climbing the ladder is all about winning, so even if you aren't the best player, you can still climb the ranks by having teams that do well and carry you. Of course, being able to carry your team helps a lot, but right now it really is all about winning. I've seen Silver players beat Golds Plats, so rank is pretty much just there for fashion.
