I cannot queue ranked with friends, but my randoms are lower ranks than them

Since the start of Season 3 I’ve actually been having a lot of fun with BR Ranked play. I came from a small community of multiplayer competitive teams that run tournaments through discord servers and this is the first time I’ve actually grinded redsec. Myself and a couple other people took a break from multiplayer and now we are all in Masters so we cannot queue a game with anyone who is below platinum. It makes no sense why we can solo, duo and trio queue and our random teammates can be unranked, but I can’t play with a friend who is in Gold. These ranked lobbies are all teams and all ranks, so why put a barrier on playing with friends at a certain rank, when people you find while queuing without a full team can be unranked. This is a terrible way to run a rank system and is turning a lot of players away from playing ranked in general.
