Please explain matchmaking.
So I recently played a draft pick game and I looked at the rankings and I honestly don't know how we got matched up against a diamond and platinum player, shouldn't they be matched against other players of higher ranking?

Normals and Ranked have completely separate MMR. A lot of high-tier Ranked players goof off or practice things they're not as good with in Normals.
To add on this: It's also possible that those players haven't played normals for a long time while climbing a lot of ranks. Example: Climbing from gold 5 to daimond 4 without playing normals.
But wouldn't they want to be matched against players of higher tier, because this is the equivalent of them playing against beginner bots.
