Painful experiences of a new player

As the title says, I'm new and currently have about 10 hours in the game. I feel like the matchmaking in this game doesn't work as it should. I managed to defeat the butcher once and escape with the token. Since then, the game has connected me with players with prestige 3/4/5, sometimes more.I have level 31. I have no chance in these matches. Getting one shot most of the times.I like the game, but getting beat up all the time isn't fun. Any advice?
