I think maybe cross platform and having more players available on a specific server and rank tier/class might give them a chance to apply rank limit queues; so players in a certain rank can only play with their same ranked people. I think one reason that current SBMM matches preds and masters and plats and give you a mixture of everything for a ranked match could be due to the lack of enough available players on that rank and server at that moment (and also it trying to avoid long waits in queues). Let's hope more players after cross platform let us have better SBMM and map selection option.
@Alphabets Would be nice but it's not gonna happen as they want you to get a step up in the rank till the lobbies change so you're not stuck.
For better or worse, mixed ranks is here to stay.
