Account level and smurfing.

This is probably me just being way to upset about the game, but when going a competitive game, i would expect to be queued by MMR and with this new feature, queued by level or something along this lines, but 60% of my games are just completely unbalanced, I'm at level 98 getting queued against accounts under level 15 accounts that absolutely outperform any of me or me teammates (solo queue), last week this went on for around 6-7 games in a row where the max rounds my teams were able to score was 7.

I think some good solutions for this would be things like, queueing plays with similar or MMR and level or limiting competitive play for accounts above a certain level, similar to what CSGO had at level 21.

I know level's is kinda of a new thing, but I'd expect that when working with levels, this would have a usefull feature right away instead of a "this feature is only so you can see how much time you have in game and how levels 5 still unranked outperform you by 25 frags".
