You are matched with people of similar rankings. So your rank must be low to play against lower-ranked players. I don't think matchmaking is meant to win every game each time, but in general, winning the majority of your games will rank you up. A rank 500 vs a rank 1500, should lose most of the matches played, which is why the 1500 ranking will not gain many Elo points for a win and a lot of Elo points are lost if they lose.

A rank 1500 will have a hard time finding a match against a rank 500 unless it is sought out. To be a fun competitive game for each player the system will put you against ranks close to your own.
