First of all rank means nothing. Second There are plenty of people who had experience with the game back in vanilla version or Ultimate, and they just don't feel like ranking up and only do lobbies with friends. So please don't act like just because you're LR you shouldn't win to a higher rank. You're not new to the game come on you know this.

Oh i know i no life'd the first game, shoot i even bought the collectors edition of Ninja gaiden just so i could get the stupid demo of 5.. Its just that since i only play rank match on the Ps4 now i felt a little bad lol but your still right. i take every fight like it the toughest opponent ever - because like me they could be a secret high rank that has to start over XD.
