Played against a team that were all silver. Had over 270 games each in ranked. They were playing against me as a level 20 and three others on my team that were level 20. Is there no match making for that mode? Nothing that evens out the match?

You had 3 level 30s, they had 4. Ranked MMR has no impact on Normals. They gave the enemy team a level 5 player to balance.

There's not a huge player pool for low level team builder, it'll pull level 30s in to fill if it can't find anyone.

From what I've heard (I don't use team builder) the Q times can be kind of silly, I imagine what you describe might have happened due to a lack of people using the system, but like I said I don't use it. Your MMR in team builder/normals is supposed to be different than ranked, so maybe they haven't played normals before, not sure.

It pulls in higher levels to fill in so you can actually play. Your queue times would be incredibly long if you had to wait to find someone who is your "level". I would rather play 2-3 games and get matched against higher level people then have to wait an hour just to play one game with people of my "level". Also what were the level of your teammates/theirs?

All the queue's mmrs are supposed to be separate. They don't effect each other so the fact that you were against silvers doesn't mean anything(in regards to the matchmaking system at least). If you treat it like ranked, everyone should technically have their own "elo" or mmr and as it is a new system, everyone is technically around the same starting place, so you will raise/drop dependent on your skill.
