Twisted Treeline needs a rework

So... i like playing 3v3, and i am one of the few, i know that.

Playing 3v3 especially flex 3v3 is almost everytime stressful.

one problem is that just a small group of people play this mode. My league of graphs

As u can see, i am gold 4 0 lp this makes me one of the top 16% players in EUW (close to 48k better players than me) (yes i am from europe, posting in NA)

while i am in SoloQ Gold 5 0 lp and under the top 38% (more than a million better players than me)

this leads me to the conclusion that literally no one plays 3v3.

lets do some math!

for euw

3v3 = 47.908 (my position) multiplicated with 100 and divided by 16 = 299425 ranked players in 3v3

5v5 = 1.080.736 x 100 / 38 = 2.844.042

for the whole league community

3v3 = 839.494

5v5 = 17.671.555

(btw only 16% of all ranked players worldwide plays 3v3 ranked)

therefore, the matchmaking in 3v3 is awful bad, i played so many times, with or against challenger, masters or diamonds or had bronze players which maked it incredible easy to win or very fast ending for us

and as u can see, there is something that have to change, so three versus three gets attractive again for more people to play.

maybe rework the map (it is for 5? years the same map, i think it got reworked one time)

remove the ranked queue, since not even 30% plays it

give better xp, mastery points or i dunno

place Urf in the middle dancing the whole game over

maybe u guys have an idea how to make the situation better

Hmm, id be interested to see what they could do with twisted tree line if they did give it a touch up. I enjoyed reading about a part of the game I don’t get to interact with much

You also got to factor in that a lot of players will just do TT placements, get gold ,and never play it again.

I got to Master Teir on TT on my other account and never touched it again, it's really easy.

The last patch notes update for twisted treeline was in 2015.

I think party size has a lot to do with it's popularity. There's a lot of full 5-person teams out there, quads are also popular. Now trios, that's the perfect number for 3's and if you have that, then you're golden. However, while duo's can go in threes and realistically you're two thirds of the team, it's not quite the same.

Riot initially had only a single map and nothing else. People cried and begged for a smaller map for more casual games. Riot gave them original Twisted Treeline which saw next to zero play and certainly no serious gameplay outside of four teams who actually tried to ladder 3v3. As such Riot forgot about it. Later people begged for Twisted Treeline to be remade so it would be more appealing, Riot did this and the same happened.

People also begged for another casual game mode that was more fun. This was Dominion which almost immediately was abandoned by the playerbase despite it being all they'd talk about for upwards of half a year and how "awesome" it would be.

People need to quit begging for things just so they can quit them after four days of playing with them.
