I don't aggressively climb in ranked so I only ever hit gold for rewards, but I'd play with you. Finished gold 3 with pretty casual play last time I went into ranked.
I get matched with anyone from gold to diamond in normals.
That said, they aren't very difficult, even the diamonds. I don't really lose in normals from getting outplayed. Its mostly foolish mistakes I make instead, so it'd be a good learning experience, not just a stomp against you every game.
Having someone to call me out of my mistakes would be nice as well. I stopped playing with groups a while ago because they're either too casual and just like to mess around, or they get mean as hell when some people make mistakes.
That all said, don't put too much stock into this season. Look to improve still, but know that your ranking this season may not accurately reflect where you are, for better or worse. Dynamic Queue does not accurately rate anyone's individual ability to play this game this season.
