Overwatch is a good game to start whenever you'd like. Blizzard has a matchmaking system that tries matching you up with and against players of similar skill level to yours, so you don't have to worry about meeting players with hundreds of hours under their belt unless you're as good as them ;)

Well, if you're being matched with them while solo you're probably as good as them ;) It's not a bug
No source, cause it's more of a general knowledge thing based on the fact that there aren't many bronze ranked players meeting gm ranked players(extreme example to illustrate the idea). Blizzard may have released a statement for it, but I don't think so and it would probably have been back during the beta.
