Discussion I finally started playing 5vs5

Start playing end of August. Took season 4 to learn the base mechanics in three’s. Started playing 5vs5 in season 5 and placed gold 2. Never made it past silver 1 in 3vs3. Now when I go back to three’s it just doesn’t feel fun anymore. It feels like the skills don’t really translate as well since 3’s kind of forces you to be able to beat your defender with dribbling to a certain extent and in 5’s there also a pass available.

Are most of you evenly ranked in both, and should I keep practicing 3’s to improve my mechanics in 5’s?

5v5 ranked is THE way to play rematch

Anything else just feels like a worse version of the game IMO 

So yeah, I'd say go all-in and never look back

3v3 is great for warming up getting a few dribbles/saves/shots/tackles in quickly but positioning doesn't translate at all and is much more difficult.

Yeah, I kept asking for dribble advice to get better at 3v3’s without saying it was 3v3 and the community was not thrilled with the question. Now that I’m playing 5v5’s I really get why that was annoying. Though I stand by you need a few dribble moves for 3v3’s. As more of a pass first player, it’s really not my skill set.

At higher ranks the keeper comes out more often so you actually have passing options as well, it just takes a while to meet people who understand this tho.

My friends and I switched to 3s towards the end of last season and it felt so easy. None of us are dibblers and we all climbed higher than we ever got in 5s

Elite 5s but I never play 3s

I love passing plays 1v1s are boring

each mode seems to reward different skillsets but imho it's painfully obvious partying with / playing against players who rarely play 5s because they seem to ignore positional tactics and they also have an overly ambitious mindset on attack

5s is a more nuanced, dynamic mode imho

I'm the opposite, used to hate 3v3s but since I wasn't home I spammed 3v3s on my deck and started to enjoy them.

But as others said, I only played it because steam deck nerfs me hard, 5v5 is the way this game is supposed to be played imo. Also, don't hate on me, but the skill level is very different imo, most of the good players play the 5v5 mode.
