SQUATTER PENALTY

Yes, it's a completely separate matchmaker and queue altogether. So if you're in LQ, you can't be matched with anyone in RQ. The only exception is if you're in a squad with someone that is in RQ.

The biggest difference within LQ is that it mixes every league. So every game will have players ranging from bronze all the way up to Champions. The games are extremely unbalanced, half the players leave the game so it's often short handed battles, and most of the players aren't going for beacons. It's total chaos basically.
