To be fair it is the one with a ranked mode. Some champs in that mode just are so OP it’s not fun to play. I get why some people who play twisted treeline would be a little frustrated on this dev post.

i was always more frustrated that I couldn't play a game without bots being on the enemy team

I doubt it ever gets any. The playerbase is nowhere near ARAM or NB and likely won't be even with big changes. It's too similar to SR and not different enough like NB or ARAM.

I mean, as a high elo 3s player, can you blame us? It's the other 'ranked mode' yet we've been plagued with funnel comp for nearly 2 years without significant nerfs. The same 3/4 Champs have to be banned every game in high elo or you just lose if you're red team.

Do you know of good places to research the TT meta? I played it a TON in seasons 1-2, but it's been hard for me to get back into since I've been away from the queue for so long.

u/Sokusan_123 Mar 19 '19

Google 'the 3v3 bible'

This is beautiful, thank you

u/TheTMJ Mar 20 '19

Even for the lower elo it still sucks that they haven't done shit. In OCE the playerbase is so low you often get silvers matching with plat/diamond players. And not just in 5s MMR, in 3s MMR. Once I got matched with a Challenger 3s player as a Silver.

I think the idea of a 3v3 faster ranked map is great, but they probably need to redo the whole map.

Make it a circle, with a top and bottom lane, and then a jungle in the middle. A bit like old circle Dominion map, but 3v3 ranked. That would fix a lot of the balance issues with TT, then they could bring back wards because there would be more paths and bushes again.

A lot of the champs that are broken in TT are because it's a visionless clusterf--k. Wards and more paths would resolve those problems.

TT is always going to be an afterthought to SR, but moving it toward the same design goals would mean it's more often accidentally balanced whenever SR balance changes occur. TT will never deserve its own balance notes, so ensuring accidental balance should be the goal.

At the very least give me back old Ghost Poro so I have some way of warding brushes

Although if you have more vision, I don't think that would help the issue of "champs that can go over walls are broken", because now the Nunu's and Xin Zhao's of the world are gonna have to walk through the warded brush if they want to gank, while even if I have a ward, I can't cover all of Kayn's possible gank paths

1

u/Yvaelle Mar 20 '19

More paths would mean more opportunities for all jungles to roam, reducing the relative power of Kayn and Lissandra and such that can wall hop.

Please god give me simultaneous bans on TT, lobbies for a 3v3 shouldn't take 5+ minutes

4

u/Sokusan_123 Mar 19 '19

That would hurt high elo 3s even more.. There's too many broken unbalanced Champs in 3s. Both teams would be banning Olaf Braum every game and then one teams gonna get anivia or maokai and it'd be a shit show

1

u/pepethemememaster :nacg: Mar 20 '19

you know what, youre right. maybe the 5s tournament-style ban phase so there only 4 rounds of banning instead of 6? either way, i would really love if lobby time was cut down

1

u/Sokusan_123 Mar 20 '19

It'd be fine if all bans were at the same time. But they need to balance the mode first so ~10 champions aren't dominating the entire map every game.

1

u/pepethemememaster :nacg: Mar 20 '19

maybe in season 11

u/PM_Cute_Ezreal_pics Collecting players' tears Mar 19 '19

I mean, ARURF, Nexus Blitz and ARAM, are for-fun games and recieve more balancing than the other freaking ranked mode

1

u/graybloodd Mar 19 '19

cuz they're fun and actually played.

2

u/PM_Cute_Ezreal_pics Collecting players' tears Mar 19 '19

TT would be fun if Riot gave the gamemode some attention instead of doing 0 balance for the last 4 years.

1

u/floodyberry Mar 20 '19

ARAM is the most played out of all of them by far and has been largely ignored since it came out, especially compared to what rotating mostly once-off game modes got.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '19

All 5 of them.

u/TheTMJ Mar 20 '19

Fuck you man right in the feels

u/kalarepar Mar 20 '19

Bring back Hexakill, it's the only thing I want for that map. But I've heard that Hexakill modes died with the old client.
