Schedule for 3v3 Ranked makes no sense since there is no 3v3 Dynamique

Hi Riot,

I dont really get the the change to match the 3v3 Ranked schedule with the one of 5v5 Teamranked. Riot assumes that players only wants to play 3v3 Ranked if the queue time for Dynamic is too high. (Which is also not true for 5v5 Teamranked, I guess, but that's annother topic) Is it to try to force Treeline only players to play 5v5 Dynamic queue ? I just like Treeline because it's quicker and I have a good time with my friends, playing 1 or 2 3v3 Rankeds once in a while. Why can't you just leave the 3v3 Ranked open? We will obviously play less league now, because we will have to stick to a schedule, to just play some casual 3v3 rankeds. And that schedule is going to change, that's for sure. Which video game in the world leaves players only a small time slot, to play (since i have clearly no time to play before 8pm)? To stick with your argumtens, you should give us 3v3 Dynamic. But that makes not much sense too me either, because most people would join the queue as 3.

In hope for an answer, Admin

EDIT: Please only comment if you have reasonable arguments for this discussion.

EDIT2: Would it be a reasonable argument, if Riot thinks that matchmaking would work better as now more people queue up at this time slot?

This is all part of Riot's master plan to get less people to play 3v3 so they can delete it like dominion because "no one plays it"

I think exactly the same. It's like a big "fuck you" to Twisted Treeline playerbase, and I feel deeply offended with this change. Twisted Treeline have been always my favourite and most played map. This is a complete nonsense.

Riot, if you are restricting our only competitive way of playing 3v3, at least, give us dynamic queue.

A red response would be appreciated. Silence isn't welcomed.

Even for 5v5s the schedule is completely stupid in my opinion. Completely blocks half of the people who want to play it from actually playing it if they can't get with their friends at the specific times it's open.

Probably because of this.

I think that riot should make a solo q for 3v3... Not a dynamic but a ranked system that only 1 person can q for that way you can't get 3 players on a top challenger team smashing every one every game

Also these new restrictions are killing many high Elo teams! And the time zones make it even harder to coordinate team play times! Believe me when I say the 3v3 community is bigger then people think! And it has been dieng recently because of certain changes! A solo q would bring a lot back as well as make every one happy! If you play 3v3 competitively then you know how intense the games can be! High Elo teams are fighting team fights at level 2 and 3 over contesting health relic at 3 min!! There are much more rotations during lane phase and there are more metas then just top bruiser jungle ap bot (support meta, adc jungle, and more)

after these time restriction changes on a higher Elo team our q times are still just as long as they were b4 and we are still against gold and plats some times! Yea waiting 45 min for a 3v3 game sucks and waiting 45 min on a challenger team just to earn 3 LP sucks but the 3v3 community never really went crazy about it(like the pros cry about dynamic q) we did our thing! Not to mention the chat 3v3 on na server has been around for ever and some times has been full for hours and hours!

I am really sad now because it's hard to find a pick up team for ranked and there is no one even posting for teams now mainly because of this change! And NO one wants to play garbage normals!! I think letting us q by ourselfs without a duo or trio for ranked 3v3 would bring life back into the community!! 3v3 chat is depressing recently! People don't even get toxic or bm any more! It's like people just are starting to accept that 3v3 is dead! Bring solo q and let ranked 3v3 evolve and grow!! Riot might be surprised how well it will do and how many people play it or that it might even grow some numbers of players (I kno league is losing a ton of players from the amount they had a few years ago)

Come on riot!! How much could it really hurt to make a ranked solo q for 3s!

Sry for the spelling and gram it's 3am I'm a zombie rn

WHAT!!!! THEYRE CHANGING 3s RANKED QUES!!! noooooo. Thats a horrible idea. No one will ever be on, and Ill habe to wait to play ranked 3s, that sounds horrible. That's literally be the last nail in the 3's coffin.
