Is Twisted Treeline going to bite the dust like Dominion

Twisted Treeline specific balance decisions, and even straight up changes or updates, are extremely infrequent. 3v3 appears at no points ever during Esports. Whenever I attempt to queue for 3v3 it takes an inordinately long amount of time.

Granted, unlike dominion, people who do play Twisted Treeline actually play 3v3, not a made up Hide and Seek gamemode with each other. So maybe it's low amount of updates merely reflects its low amount of players, but it feels like the entire mode is neglected which is upsetting when it's otherwise got a genuine ranked queue.

Do you guys worry that TT is going to be retired at any point soon? It's presented as a real alternate game mode, but the almost nonexistent updates for it and the complete absence from Esports makes it seem like SR is the only "official" mode.

As a relatively new player, I'm leery of trying it because I feel like there are a lot of heroes who would be pretty bad in 3v3, and knowing my luck, I'd pick one of them. I can't see my main, Soraka, being great, or most other pure supports (maybe Taric/Sona would be OK?). Plus I can see it being a haven for all the heroes I hate playing against (the gankers).

Even if I win, I don't think I'd have fun in a game if everyone had the ability to delete you in 1/2 a second.

This has been the sad truth for years, way back to "Ranked Dominion is ready and will be enabled soon," and "The balance team will keep all maps in mind, not just SR." Riot's favoritism has never changed. Just look at recent missions arbitrarily requiring SR games and Champ Mastery tokens illogically being SR-exclusive.

it will if it has allot of bots, after all that's riot's solution to bots, shut down what they abuse/use, like dominions, custom game IP/XP, referal system
