The real reason why TT (3s) got less and less players to play
Rito basically misinterpret its statistics.
As a player, most of us only enjoy playing ranked. Even in 5s i didn't play normal like 2 years. When I play this game in s1, there were even more playing 3s then 5s. We all expect solo 3s rank in future, yet it never happen. Many of my friend leave the game because of that.
This is a vicious cycle: no rank, no player -> no player, no rank. When you restrict the queue chance for 3s team rank, things just got worsen.
