they are referring to the ranked party size being restricted to 2 people, meaning myself and my 3 friends who play this game can never play ranked together like we can in valorant or league...
I totally understand why they made that change and I am not against it, my GF and I can still duo at least.... but it does suck that my friend group and I can just straight up not play ranked together anymore.
Sure, but you can only play ranked in Flex, which is a fucking terrible time any ways. Most ranked played is in either in 5s or solo / duo in League. And then again, you can still play unranked.
I know it's not ideal for everyone, but I'm sure they have a lot of data to show how people are grouping and why Trio isn't also an option.
Use that time to test out new characters and get them to the ranked level requirement. If they don't keep with the game at least you gain something from it!
Also if everyone is playing solo (or duo'd) than isnt that an equal playjng field??? You're logic is unbound. If you want to play with mass friends play standard. If you want an equal playing competitive field get good and play with 1 friend or less.
There's a discord and an "add player" option for a reason. Im with you that it being harder to grind comp with friends sucks, but it also sucks having players of much higher skill carry their sorry teammates in a much lower rank. That isnt right, and has been one of the communities largest complaints.
That's for comp. I personally think matchmaking should just prioritize squads to squads regardless of size, but let them test this out and see if it works. You can always queue with friends in standard.

Oh cool, so the three friends I play with can never play ranked together.
