Teamed up with lower ranked players

Why am I constantly being paired up with Bronze players when I am in Gold rank?? This makes no sense for me to be gold and have 2 lower ranked players matched up with me playing against gold teams.

Well right but the problem is they have no choice, because no one wants to wait to play the game for 5-10 minutes either just to be downed right away most games. You'd spend more time in que's then in the actual game (ESPECIALLY at high elo) in the early elo's it'll be easy no matter what, but to make it even across the board they pool whoever is currently searching IF <--- they cannot find enough around your rank so that you get in right away.

Also for those that aren't used to ranked (its the same as casual) just play casual until you understand the game, if your not familiar with the game overall you shouldn't join ranked matches anyway to start with. Ranked play is just about camping more and smart plays the only difference honestly but overall the game mechanics and everything else are exactly the same.

So if the point is someone who is newer to the game, they should know to play casual and practice first before going into the competitive scene. Which is why I've been posting that Respawn should make ranked at only level 100+ so that new players HAVE to grind before just jumping in and also stops hackers from messing up ranked games as well since they get banned every now and then they'd have to grind all over again just to play ranked which keeps the competitive community safe.

You'd like to think they'd be smart enough to go play casual first but not the case. That my friend is wishful thinking. I wouldn't be upset about the matchmaking if that were the case and yes I know you have to be a certain level to play ranked but even still people don't have a firm grasp of the game and how to make those smart plays because they ranked up and decided they could go play ranked which again puts you at a huge disadvantage.

Either I'm just trying to figure out why as gold I'm being paired with bronze, you would think if that was the case of lowering que times they would match silver with bronze gold with silver and so on... There is no way I believe there is zero 1 their lower players.
