Well first off, the ranks exist therefore they need to be populated. Second, not everyone is competent when it comes to FPS. It could be they use terrible settings, like 3k dpi and 5 sens and can't aim as a result, they lack experience and game sense, and/or lack sufficient hand-eye coordination. Possibly other reasons too, like not using nades, horrible movement, etc.

Or they don't care to learn/improve.

I always feel like this is a silly thing to say.

It's like anything else I started out silver 4, this was my first fps that I played and not fuck around in (normally I mess around and don't care about being good).

Just like people in starcraft, if it's their first rts they aren't going to start at the top.

I dunno, im nova 3 and i find i can keep up with MG1/2 players reasonably well (i dont usually bottomfrag.). I don't think im "bad" in the god-awful cant aim, listen or do anything sense either. I see a few players down in nova who are like me in terms of game-sense/aim and whatnot when i spectate them too (Like, i dont think to myself "they're shitters" while watching ).

Of course on the other spectrum alot of people i play with and spectate i look at and im just like "what the fuck." I sit there in my head making calls and knowing things they should know but dont, i see and hear things they completely miss.

Alot of people are extremely freakin' bad, but not all of them, maybe those ones are just on their way up though. Silvers a different kettle of fish, that's the single mum league.

I'm awful at aiming and dont know many of the maps.
I also don't know the guns besides the ones I like and which rounds are eco, etc.

eco is easy
T side: does everyone have at least 4400? no = eco
CT side: does everyone have at least 5000? no = eco

It's a bit more complicated (CTs can get away with only 2 or 3 people having kits, for instance) but that's the general idea.

In my friend's case they lack game sense and awareness a lot, like they always take shit spots to defend, peek at awful moments, don't really know when to rotate etc. It's the first CS they play, and they prefer to focus on the aiming aspect more than the strategy I guess, as it's more fun to try and improve at aiming that at being smart in game.
As someone say, to improve you need to try to improve. Some people just play the game and are content to have fun with it.
The worst people are the ones that think they are good because they played for X years when they are god awful (I.E the MG2 guy that was camping behind long A doors on CT D2 with a nova EACH FUCKING ROUND AND NEVER CAME BACK TO DEF A EVER and flamed us on top of that.). I'm fine with people being bad and being aware of it.

Honestly, the biggest difference between the lower and upper half of the rankings comes down to rifle use. It really is that simple.

So MM doesn't want to rank me up. I am currently DMG and carry every single game I play. Most stars, most frags, win or lose. Hardcore carrying. I'd say 4/5-6 games people call cheats on me. Which reinforces the idea that I should be playing against better people

Yet still DMG.

I've played cs for ~6-7 years now, played S14 ESEA and took a break until now. To give an idea, I averaged 13 RWS over S14, ending ~30th in the league for FPR.

MM refuses to rank me up though.

Hm you know I saw a guy with your exact name on CS the other day on my friends stream, dunno if it was you or not but he was a rude little fella calling the other team bad all the time and in general not a pleasant person.

But from what I have seen it takes forever to get eagle from DMG.

You have to bottom frag with the rifle first half.

That's right folks, I definitely heard an ethnic twang in that voice, so everyone put your guesses on the screen. It's everyone's favorite game, it's Guess the Minority!!!
