Matchmaking is always weird. If you are going up against a lot of lvl 10s, then it means you are really skilled for your level, and that not a lot of lvl 8s are where you are at. Don't let it frustrate you, and understand you usually learn more from losses, whether about what a certain level royal giant can do to your tower, and thus accomadate it in the future. I never sweat nowadays when I face lvl 11s with lvl 13 RGs, and know ahead of time when to expect a loss. I've even learned from losing to no-skill spammers. And if it doesn't hurt, always mute your opponent. Laughing at people is kinda immature, and a lot of immature people play the game (they could be in their thirties for all I care), and it will eventually get to you.

For the record, I'm F2P myself and have been blessed enormously with a ton of legies (I'm only missing the bandit), but this took a lot of time. My twin, who doesn't have quite so many legendaries and who started about the same time I did, has at least a few lvl 6 epics that pair well in his decks. I'm pretty sure I only have two lvl 5 epics. My highest is 3916 cups, but I usually hover around 3500-3700. Sometimes you get in a rhythm, other times you don't. Losing 300+ trophies in a row is nothing except a sign that your deck may have been good a few hours ago but people just came on whose style could counter it quickly. It's why I usually avoid playing at certain times of day, when the playing styles change slightly due to the location (of course, this is just me speculating).
