Okay so I understand you need a team of 3, but my question is can the team have more than 3 players on it? That way you can play ranked more often. For example can the team have 12 players and anytime there are 3 team members online they can get a ranked match going, or does it have to be just 3 on at the same time?

New to forum, thanks in advance!

yes, you can have more than 3 people on a team at a time. if you could only have 3 people then how could you do ranked team 5v5

I mean for a Ranked 3's team. Are they the same team that you do 5s with?

^Yes. Max is 9 players.
