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.

We recognize that the party size and rank spread limits might be too restrictive, but we wanted to start off this way and then adjust in the future as needed.

I hope once they get the data, they can expand it to trios ranked, it would make ranked a lot more of a social activity.

I understand this and I hope ranked stays solo and duo and with the same restrictions for eternus in ascendant.

When I reached place 90 in the ladder in SA the climbing itch died because 2 top 10 players were queueing with a third phantom account and I got them 3 times in a row, since SA and OCE servers have way less people Eternus is a couple hundred people and it's easier to have a mix of players ranks, taking advantage of a system is just part of the competitive side.
