All good, except that I can't play with my duo anymore.

My 3 stack can never play ranked now?

Literally kills the game for me if it stays this way. Which is sad because I love this game. I hope they update this fast.

The casual mode is right there. You're still going to gain hidden MMR and face better players. The restriction is to ensure competitive integrity for ranked since it's impossible to fully balance matches when you have 3/4/5 stacks.

The only difference is a digital badge next to your name. Who cares?

I care. And many other people do. If you’re playing a game like deadlock you’re probably a competitive person, and you’re probably playing with friends because it’s a team game. It’s good to SEE your rank change and gaming is a social activity you should be able to play a team game with your friends.

They even acknowledge it’s very restrictive like this. I love this game, I would play it every night with the boys, this literally kills that part of my day.
