Why do I keep getting owned by low level accounts in Unrated?

Hey guys, just a quck question here.

I've been playing for a while so far and I'm often playing with friens from real life (yes, I play Valorant and YES, I have friends. )

I believe I know a little about the Matchmaking System (correct me if I'm wrong) and I know that even in Unrated theres something like a hidden MMR to match equally good players together.

Lately things started getting a little weird. I've been playing like 5 games straight and I'm kinda getting owned by low level players that seem to be Smurfs that aren't detected yet. Why can a level 5 player be matched up with lvl 100+ anyways?

Soo, in conclusion, I'm kinda annoyed because Smurfs or so called "alt accounts" that are waay better than me and my teammates are matched up against me in unrated where i just try to have some chill games.

Anyone else experienced stuff like that?
