A Ranked Playlist is different from Social Matches because they are "Ranked". In Social Matches you can only gain "Exp". But, in Ranked you can gain "Exp" and "Skill" (1-50).
I don't play DLC much but, it is a playlist for games such as Grifball, Zombie, CTF, Etc.
You need to download the Heroic Map Pack and I think you have to complete Campaign too.
About starting your own game. You can start a Custom game were you decide the map, weapons, time, etc.
Just go to Custom Matches instead of Matchmaking.
Hope that helped.
See yah around.
