Ranked REDSEC Matchmaking is extremely unfair and unbalanced

I really don't understand how this matchmaking system is supposed to be fair.

I'm currently Diamond. If I want to play Ranked with my friend who is Silver, the game won't let us because our ranks are too far apart. Fine, I can accept that if it's supposed to keep matches balanced.

But then I queue and the game puts low levels like 10,  Rookies, or Bronze players on my team. How does that make any sense?

So my friends can't play with me because they're supposedly too low ranked, yet the matchmaking has no problem giving me random teammates who are even lower.

And that's not even the biggest issue.

Almost every match I'm playing against Masters and, very often, even Top 250 players. Does that really seem normal? Why are Diamond players constantly matched against some of the best players in the entire game?

This isn't a fun or competitive experience. It's frustrating.

Lower-ranked players end up paying the price because, naturally, the highest-ranked players are simply better and will win most fights. That's exactly why they have higher ranks in the first place.

So what's the point of rank restrictions for parties if the matchmaking completely ignores skill balance once the match starts?

Please either make party rank restrictions match the actual matchmaking or improve matchmaking so players mostly face opponents around their own skill level.

Right now, Ranked doesn't feel balanced at all. It feels like the rules only apply when trying to play with friends, not when creating the actual match.
