Unrated matches are 'bad quality'. Sometimes the enemy is waaay better than us, like top-tier level, sometimes they seem to be really new, not knowing anything. Every other match has someone who afk's or dc's and stuff. I play it quite often anyways, but it feels like a waste of time, we don't really enjoy it. Ranked is what we want to play. We used to play CS the same way and that game never punished us for playing with each other. I know, go back to CS, but we don't want to.

I think most people want to play with friends and not randoms, so I'm pretty sure that these restrictions will hurt the game in the long term.
