Believe me, I created a smurf account, unranked, and I got matched up with Simply Amazing players in casual more than a few times. In my first ranked game, I won and got to Decentish Gold immediately. Shows how SEMC really has to improve the match making.

That means your hidden rank is high.......... The match making is fine the fact that people don't understand it is the problem.

No it shows that the system is working lol. It accurately and quickly estimated your ELO so that you couldn't continually crush lower ranked players, that would be unfair to those lower-ranked players.
Before account level 10 your rank is capped at NotBad Silver I believe. As soon as you're able to participate in ranked matches you may likely be matched up against significantly higher rank players based on your own hidden ELO from casual games. It is both anti-smurf & fast ELO adjustment, the system is better than what most would let on.

^ You have the belief of someone who is wrong then. It only shows that the match making system is smart enough to get rid of smurfs so they can be ranked up and not left in unranked to smash and kill unranked players there hidden rank is so high they immediately go 5 ranks up.

Also jungle skaarf is completely viable in casual as long as he focuses farming over ganking

Skaarf can have equal farm and gank opportunities, his goop makes a excellent slow but then I guess it depends on your team comp. if you had a phinn a safe laner could be dragged and killed while if you had a fortress or a Ardan as support it could be harder to gank.
