Yep! That will be their goal with the matchmaking system they plan to implement - to match you against players of similar rating. Them dirty lalafells that were sitting on you will likely be matched against players of their own rating.

The only reason I think that rated 8vs8 should be implemented later on is because getting an 8 player premade for Wolves' Den is more tricky for many, and therefore, queue times may be very long after the first few days. I think Wolves' Den requires a popularity boost first with 3.1, so that once the Wolves' Den player base has increased significantly, there will be a lot more rated 8vs8 teams and shorter queue times.
