The Series Pass just happens to exist and has no actual bearing on Ranked.
pretty sure correlation is causation buddy, i have been getting instant ques for the last couple of days and the fact that it comes right after the new series pass proves that. Ranked players wanted a solution to the population issue and this would fix it.
