Why am I getting paired with Preds?

@Jason_Anthony32 I've been playing regularly since week 1 of the game's release, and I'm getting rookie to bronze teammates in a gold/plat level match, and all the enemy players are either cheaters, smurphs, or diamond-pred players (their actual accounts, not "smurphing" persay).

This is like giving players two lab rats as teammates in an arena against cats. Clearly the two lab rats are going to be dead 100x over before ever getting a chance to best a cat, as all they can do is run and hide on repeat. This doesn't help at all.
