Can't queue with my unranked friend and i'm silver 2

[Kurisutian]

My friend is unranked and im silver 2 yet the game won't let us queue together since yesterday (we could play before that).

You have 3000 hrs and well reason could be your rating in the background is to high for new players, could be the trust factor could be you have prime account while they are free to play?

None of those things should matter though. If you queue with a non-prime player (aka F2P), you will be lobbied with Non-Prime games. In-game hours doesnt matter either and wont directly stop them from playing. This is another issue

Maybe the first one, since if hes not prime i can just play not prime mm. I checked the update log and theres nothing about a change in how queuing works, beats me i guess.

you can que with anybody regardless of rank or NO rank.
must have a full lobby.

Literally only my friend and i in our lobby, there was a red error message that said rank difference too high or something like that.

Invite some other people or join other lobby.
Again, must have a full lobby. ( 5 players )

But the problem is, we've played multiple times before yesterday with the same ranks, the thing i don't know is why did it suddenly stop working.

You dont need 5 people in a lobby unless the ranks are too far apart.

If someone was ranked before going unranked they will queue as if they are still the same rank as before they went unranked. If your friend is doing his 10 placement matches its likely their rank will be higher than 5 ranks above silver 2 which is why you cant queue.

Well, there are 2 ranks in CS:GO. The displayed rank and the hidden rank. The hidden rank is used to calculate your display rank after your 10 wins or after 1 month of not playing CS. So the problem is, that the hidden rank of your friend ist too high for your display rank.
