I'm in gold being placed in pred lobbies

I am currently Gold IV in Apex Legends.  I was duo queuing with my Silver friend in ranked.  Why are we being matched against players currently ranked as Apex Predators?  13 skill divisions higher than me.  And honestly, it is fine, I enjoy playing against them.  I checked the streams of 7 different people in that lobby and they were all Predators or high masters.  If I am going to be matched with those players I think I my rank should at least reflect the bin I have been put in to.

Can you explain why and hour your SBMM system is making this error?  Or if it is on purpose, why?

    @sirsquishoit's happening also to me and it's actually impossible to play.. either i get someone dossing the server and making me and my teammates lag or i get 3 stack predator lobbies...
    Please can someone from the staff reply?

    Edit: me and my teammates are gold 2/1

    @sirsquisho Think about how much better you're going to be though. Next time they kill you. Spectate them. Watch their movement. Their gun load outs. Watch where they rotate and when they rotate. I'm currently platinum ranked. In no way do consider myself elite. But I do enjoy the higher competition in my lobbies. It'll make you better! Don't give up. Best advice. Keep moving! Or get a control legend (Wattson, Rampart, Catalyst, Caustic) and bunker down for the last ring and let all the sweats come to you. Thats what I do. I don't like running for my life. Wattson gates it off and get you some height and make their lives miserable. Good luck

    @sirsquisho 
    Same rank as you and decided to call it quits until (if ever) the player numbers get better.
    Not enough players to cater everyone as they made the change to improve queue times. Not long ago streamers / pros could sit something between 15-30min in queue to get a top level match. 

    FYI EOMM / SBMM also is joint between BR & Mixtape so dont you dare to play some Mixtape in between BR matches to get some of that confidence and joy back. You will get your easy walk in the park match in 12 people match and then your SBMM is back to BR pred match worthy.
