Typically level determines skill. A character that can't get to a level above a 20 in Ranked is obviously pretty bad.
Whereas a person who can get a 50 has at least enough skill to get that 50. Even if they are a bad 50, they have more skill than the typical 1-45 because they can win games at near 50 high. Boosted, deranked, host boosted, no matter how they achieve the rank, they have to have SOME skill in that area to get there. Also; the trueskill system determines the players actual skill, and puts them at the level it believes they play at.
If you play like a 45, trueskill will keep you at that rank, until your skills get better, and you progress. Of course ways to cheat the trueskill system are deranking and boosting. That's why boosted 50's are frowned upon. And legit 50's are not easy to get.
As for you only playing Social, you obviously can't go out and say that you're any better than 40+'s in a playlist, because you have never played ranked. Ranked is on a completely different level than Social. While you might do very well against guests, and low level characters with no skill, the teams of 50's you come across in SBTB obviously fk you up.
How well you do against an actual good player, will tell you how good you are as an individual player. So say a 50 out BR's you, and you maybe land 1 shot. Obviously, you suck, or just had a bad get go at it. If you don't even use a BR....yeah, you're bad.
So numbers do matter. Your level shows your skill, (if it's not boosted).
