I'm on a new account, as I'm using my other steam account less and figured that I wouldn't ruin too many games for new players since my old account was low ranked anyways. After playing a couple games I got past the rank I had on my old account (high ritualist/low emissary) and was getting decent lobbies. Suddenly as of a couple days ago all of my games have been in initiate 1 lobbies with very bad players, though my display rank has been fluctuating between ritualist and emissary.

I'm not trying to ruin games for new players and I have no intention of smurfing, but it makes no sense to me that my new account with 16 games played ranked ritualist 6 is being placed in initiate 1 lobbies, while my account with 700 hours ranked arcanist 4 is consistently being put in oracle/archon lobbies.
At first I assumed this had something to do with hero mmr, but on the new account all of my games have been on one hero, and the first 12 games were in games ranging from alchemist to emissary, so why am I suddenly put into 4 initiate lobbies in a row?
This seems to be the opposite of a problem other players are having; instead of my rank being hard locked my games are.
I have had 'competitive matchmaking' enabled for all matches on this account.
