Overwatch matchmaking

Am I the only one who finds it almost impossible to queue with friends? Im not high rank in overwatch and I cannot play comp with any of my friends which is like fine I guess but its to the point even quick play takes 10 min. games without me specifically are 1 to 2 min queues. When we eventually get a game its against players that are my rank and my friends literally cant play the game. It feels really discouraging and actually can ruin a game night. Am I the only one who has this issue? like how is this a team game if you cannot play friends… idk its a bit of a rant but its to the point my wife and I feel like we cant even play the game together anymore. Is there anything short of making a new account and how long would that even last? The reality is there is prolly no solution for this but I swear it was not an issue in ow1
