Level is a horrible way to do matchmaking, as the only thing it proves is someone has played a lot of the game. It shouldn't even factor in whatever algorithm they run to determine your skill.

My level 27 in splatoon routinely pwns level 50s. Only reason I'm not 50 myself is that I am not a teen/tween with nothing but time on my hands to play a game six hours per day, every day.
