On Topic: I think Jazz is right. There's probably not a big enough pool of players queueing to do a +1/-1 rank match. Rank heavily scales with games played (not like League where if you're on a streak early in the season you'll get 40+ elo a match). So there's just not enough people in the higher tiers yet. I do generally think that unrankeds should only play with unrankeds. There's a massive skill drop in that part of the bracket.
