1 I get that we prioritize fun around here, and there's plenty of gamemodes / casual to cater to that without being labelled competitive. Thing is, if those people I'm describing don't have the constitution for what a competitive ladder is, their attitude shouldn't be at the expense of people who do belong there. If consequences for actions mean they won't queue up, then good. "I won't queue up because I'll get punished if I waste my opponents time by dodging" isn't an outlook I sympathize with. The only angle I do have sympathy for is when the matchmaker repeatedly boss-pairs them - but I understand that's an avenue @DeinFreund is making strides towards fixing, and is something we can put under the magnifying glass a lot more with the evolutionary findings produced by a new season. 1 I get that we prioritize fun around here, and there's plenty of gamemodes / casual to cater to that without being labelled competitive.

3 Edit; this is also why I made the point about reputation / mythology. The individual player decides who is and who isn't too hard for them, arbitrarily, no matter what point in the ladder they are at. How is @DeinFreund going to please everyone when each individual's appetite for a challenge differs? My answer to that would be that he can't and that people are going to have to bite the bullet at SOME rating differential threshold and accept the ladder for what it is. Challenging.
