So, do people just not like to play twisted treeline?

I've only been playing league for a couple of months but still, I can never find anyone to go pvp with in treeline. I can literally ALWAYS find people in player vs AI mode, but never pvp. I asked someone from my last game and she said "The entire community of LoL is super toxic. That's why people avoid going against other players." Toxic players are in every mode though. So if that's the case, wouldn't that mean people wouldn't even play the game? For real though, why does no one play it???

Twisted Treeline was never popular but it use to have a decent base of players. They changed the map a while back and a lot of people didn't like it, and afterwards their support for it was pretty lackluster. The killing blow for Dominion and TT was when they stopped letting you get IP from playing solo customs. This caused a huge influx of bots to flood the lesser played queues, because they couldn't farm IP in customs anymore. Once Dominion got removed it was just more into TT.

There's not enough to do on the map for little gold gets thrown around. The gameplay and gold-flow should both be much faster if you're going to have such a small and barren map. The game mode just becomes a chore to play after a certain amount of time and your queue times get insanely long.

There are other issues as well, but that requires a lot of typing. I honestly think the map could use another rework. Old TT map was broken, but it was a lot more fun to play.

It's really unbalanced somtimes. lane control champions like azir, illaoi, heim, are a lot harder to deal with because the lanes are so thin. Also, splitpushers are a lot less powerful due to the lanes being so close together.

Some modes are significantly more toxic than others. Coop vs AI, ARAM, and (mostly) RGM modes are usually pretty chill. When you get a game on Summoner's Rift, especially if it's ranked, then the mute button gets a workout.

For real though, why does no one play it???

There's no pro scene for it. It has a ranked mode, but when's the last time you watched a pro stream and they had a 3v3? Almost never.

Also, champions are balanced for the Rift and not TT. Riot tends to ignore TT, so players tend to ignore TT, so Riot tends to ignore TT, so players tend to ignore TT, and you see the cycle that killed Dominion forming all over again.

Finally, once Dominion fell all the bots that plagued that mode moved over to TT. I remember my first TT game of season 6 had two human players; me and some guy on the other team. We joked around with each other as we both pushed our respective lanes all the way to the nexus with little challenge. And that's what players get as the first impression: A bot-filled joke.

However, there's still good things about the mode. Nobody has to be a support, and that's major brownie points in the light of this whole autofill debacle.

After they changed the map it was pointless. It's a cluster fuck. People just hug turrerets, theres no space to make plays. I dont know whos idea it was to make it so small and .. small.

It used to have red buff and a pretty unique set up. Now it just feels like you can flash right out of everything and be safe cause turrets are always there. Hurrassins is bit pointless too cause you can always just teleport back.

I dont know i hate the map atm its garbage. Wish they would revert it.

In some other cases their main champions just don't work that well in TT, or that it's a completely different game.

For instance I play nothing but Lulu support, but I don't like TT either because I have to build and deal damage, which is something I hardly ever do on SR.
