Ok... What do we think about ranked?

Ranked feels awful this season - Why am I facing pro players?

I'm a career Plat/Diamond player with a lifetime KD of like .8 or .95

So far this week, I've played against the following pro players in ranked:
ImperialHal (GOAT)
Shooby (one of the best shooters in the world)
Naughty (also one of the best shooters in the world)
Alliance Effect (probably the best shooter in the world, EWC LAN champ, MVP of recent LAN I think)
And a few more...

Why am I even near these lobbies? This is absolutely killing the fun this season for my squad and I. We're all around the same skill level, but we're getting slaughtered every night by the pro players who've been playing for 5 hours straight. For every 15 sweat lobbies we get maybe one that's competitive. 

Is anyone else experiencing this? We've literally decided to stop playing ranked because it's simply just not fun, rewarding, or competitive.
