The main thing we changed the league system and put in shuffle/balance was that a couple of players dodged good opponents all the time and played only when they knew their team is stronger. (You can still dodge players and some do that, but with balance you might have a hard time even against not well known players once you reach a higher ELO).
Concourning your rebuttal of my argument: You address only 1 part, not the "challenge" thing, which is equally important. I don't see any challenge for good players with just shuffle.
Really hard to name a single reason, most possible it's a combination thing, just wanted to point out what might be another reason why you felt the games tougher.
