"Riot Platy" said, I should post here - 3v3 Ranked Restrictions all of a sudden?!

Hello everyone,

Until some days ago, one was able to play 3v3 Ranked Flex together with any elo, there were no restrictions here. Grandmasters could queue up with 2 Gold friends, the enemies could be all Grandmasters or all Platinum. It basically doesnt matter what ranks play together, since the enemies will be the same anyway. Ranked restrictions for 3v3 got removed a while back then.

Some days ago, suddenly when we queued up for 3v3, it said that I could not play together with my 2 friends anymore (one is Grandmasters, other one is Gold), and I am Diamond. There was no note or anything that there now are ranked restrictions again, as well as it doesnt make much sense, since it has been like that the whole year and 3v3 will be removed after Season9 anyway.

So I assume, that this is a bug. Can anyone give me any more information about why all of a sudden I cannot play with my friends together anymore? (btw: October 26th we all still played together, one day later on October 27th we couldnt queue together anymore. The patch was on October 22nd, so this is very weird to me)

Thank you already :)
