No, unfortunately the match making is really bad until higher levels/ranked. It's not uncommon to get a level 10 player against level 30 gold and platinum players, it's one of the worst parts of this game. The easiest way is to make a brand new account (smurf) and start PvPing there, after a few games it should be more balanced until you are level 20-30 it becomes extremely imbalanced again. I'm not trying to shit talk LoL, it's a great game, but the match making is terrible. It's extremely obvious to me that it sacrifices balanced matches for fast queue time, especially at lower levels.
There is no way I'm on the same skill level as golds and platinums, yet I see them very often. And there are level 10 beginners in the same games as me, so it's even more unfair to them to play against these ranked players who have been playing for years.
Edit: Just noticed you are level 30 and starting Pvp, I strongly suggest make a new account play bots till level 6 (pvp requirement) then start playing normals. Even though there are a lot of ranked players on smurfs at low level, it will be a hell of a lot more balanced then if you try to queue at 30.
