What is wrong with playing 3v3's?

I have always been a big advocate for playing on The Twisted Treeline, but there are some issues we need to talk about. These things need to be resolved at some point and I am interested to hear from the developers if anything is being done about this.

  1. There is not a Non-Ranked Draft Pick mode. This is why it is a problem. Playing blind is not the same as draft. A player can not truly practice ranked play unless it is in draft. You will fight a complete team of champs that are banned in draft mode. Draft mode also protects players from the bots that infest non-ranked blind play.

  2. There is no solo/duo q either. Why not? Just curious.

  3. How come all the jungling items give a smoke cloud, except for the Spectral Wraith, I think it is?

1 and 2 are because the player base is probably too small to support that many versions of the mode while still maintaining reasonable queue times.

3 is... well I think (take this with a grain of salt), that the golem item and lantern have the cloud because golem item on rift usually has wards, and the latern just always did that. Spectral wraith and lizard elder do not have wards on summoner's rift, and thus their 3v3 versions do not give vision either.
