Globally you should come on the chat to ask questions ; there will always be someone to answer newcomers questions.
Anyway, you can play in single, you can put his intelligent in "pro" and you will have a good challenge and it can help you if you don't find people.
To find opponents, I think there are two ways for low ELO : going on the chat to make friend and play regularly with guys at your level + participating on the challenger tour with guys of your level.
