Twisted Treeline META Discussion & Questions on 3v3

I've been playing some bot matches on Twisted Treeline to get a feel for the map and a few champions.

I find that I really enjoy the overall feel of the map and would like to try getting into 3v3 Ranked.

Some things I've noticed:

  1. I've really enjoyed playing TahmKench support and other tanks.
  2. I love the fact that certain support items still exist here, as well as their quest-based passive bonuses:
  • item 3309: Active shield for you and ally; passive shield which regenerates out of combat.
  • item 3306: Active AOE speed boost; passive speed boost to allies moving toward you.
  • item 3312: Active slowing ghosties; passive speed boost with each charge.
  1. Contesting the Altars for their bonuses feels rewarding and interactive.
  2. The map is significantly smaller than Summoner's Rift & roaming feels more impactful.
  3. Vilemaw puts up a fucking fight and I love it!

Questions:

  1. How viable are tanks in the 3v3 setting? Do they lane, jungle... both?
  2. I love to support - but do duo lanes really "exist" in PvP?
  3. Is being able to duel 1v1 important here, or are more team-reliant champs just as useful?

Overall: I'm wondering what the community's thoughts are on the current 3v3 META and if you have any potential recommendations as far as champions and/or team comps to try out.

If you play 3v3 feel free to add me! --> I'd love a buddy with whom I can learn the mode!

Pick Taric and funnel everything to your hyper carry. Enjoy free Challenger.

  1. Tanks are indeed viable on Twisted Treeline and most can lane and jungle!

  2. Duo lanes do exist, making the TT meta even more flexible than SR. This can work with an ADC Xayah Vayne or an APC Swain Katarina along with a CC heavy Support Sona TahmKench Zyra etc.

  3. 1v1 is important early game but because of the size of the map, mid & late game primarily turns into team battles so either is good really, as having a powerful 1v1 champ will certainly help in team fights and Champs who rely on their team to bring down the thunder will still be very effective.

Also, added you!

Sent you a request. I love doing Twisted Treeline, and sometimes, that's all I want to play. I wouldn't call me the top expert, but I've played enough of this to know all the ins and outs, from the good to the bad, to what you can do and to counter it.

Added you. We can chat in the client if you like. I'm around gold/plat in level.

I thought the meta for TT was literally Pyke Darius Urgot
