New to the ranked system, question about matchmaking

is it normal to have the match be so skewed towards one team having higher ranks?

most of the time, the queue is 2 rank lobby, so it could be: iron-bronze bronze-silver silver-gold .... but it's common if you're still in iron to be queued up to 3 ranks, so iron-bronze-silver is possible also high ranks, asc-immo-rad but in the middle ranks, it's unlikely to get 3 ranks queue

When you do your placements, the game deliberately sets your rank a little lower than the desired rank for players with your skill rating, so rank is kinda meaningless. Regardless, the game will still try to make lobbies where it thinks the scoreline will be close. Although "balanced" lobbies usually also have a more even scoreboard, if you check tracker.gg you may find that that top frag on ur team is in a party with someone else on ur team.
The matchmaker tries to account for this by filling with lower skilled players. You prbly got caught up in that.
