Is it wrong to queue with lower rank friends?

I'm bad at the game, I'm silver one. One day i decide to que comp with a friend I've never played with before. He's bronze 1. The game lets us do that with no issues and i load into the game correctly. After a few rounds, i begin to warm up and I'm playing really well. After a while, i realize that the reason why I'm doing so well is that i am up against other bronzes. I'm not sweating, but i am taking the game seriously because it still is ranked and I'm trying to win. By the end of the game i am 37/15. I would never have gotten this in my own lobbies.

This entire time I feel really awful. My intention wasn't to smurf but merely just play the game with my friend. The game lets us que together and so I thought that it would balance out the teams pretty well. I went into this game expecting that it would just be a normal game.

So my question is: Am I wrong for queuing with my friend and assuming that the game would evenly balance out the teams, and has this ever happened to any of you?
