How long is this going to be persisted with?I actually set 3v3 defence. I set up a 3v3 group and I don't think I have changed it in a year but I actually set them.I reckon at least 80% of the time (a conservative estimate) the other person does not. I am not super top level or anything but I am not new either, GP of about 6.5m and very clearly people in this bracket just cannot be bothered. The last time I had someone who had (yesterday actually but first one in last few GACs) they seemed to have done similarly and teams were an un-updated walkover. Todays is another random so as P2 they clearly didn't bother in P1 either and implication is they got a random win against another random defence.It was a nice idea. It does not seem many are interested.Other games (being specific - DSA) have realised a game mode just didn't work and are changing it. Their TW equivalent had a nice idea which failed in practice so are dumping it. It is time 3v3 was consigned to the bin.Please note, I am screwing myself here, I keep getting easy wins. Just ain't fun.Also note, this is nothing about Khyber or whatever either, really don't care, affects small number.

I am around 6.5m GP and rarely see auto-deploy defenses, maybe 10% or so.I also like 3v3.So now we have two data points.

Historically if I’m less active during GAC or already reached Kyber, I set an extra easy defense just to be nice to my opponent.

Been brought up a couple times in the events discord to doja:

Thanks.They must have stats. Forget posts about like or dislike. You could say same about mine but I am reporting actual events not like or dislike. Could it be an outlier? Well sure but probably not. I appreciate I am a sample size of 1 but I literally get 90% random opponents. The ones on forum saying they like it are not representative samples but battle stats are. Forum posts are highly unlikely to be representative of wider community, it is a small core group. Surely they must have them. Defenders on forum coming out of woodwork are not stats which they surely must be able to access.

This is 90% normal. 90% is not going to be very accurate but still.

Again, also bear in mind this guy won first bout so almost certain his opponent was a random as well.

Finally, last round, again, guy did post proper defence but looked like toons not updated in a year and he did not attack. That is 3 out of 7 (so excluding me) not bothering, or alternatively 3 out of 3 I actually know about so far.

I’m at 6.8M GP and for this GA more than 50% of my opponents were auto-d.

I'm at 6.5m and I hardly face any auto-deploy either. Maybe sometimes in the first round of a new GAC.

I like 3v3 more than 5v5. Actually hell, 3v3 might be the only game mode keeping me playing this game

I’m 7.5 million GP and about half of my opponents don’t set defense or attack. It’s really fun if my opponent has more GL’s than I do with the Great Nerf of 2021 killing nearly all counters. But all you can do is shrug and collect the pitiful garbage rewards and move on.

I must admit I got to around aurodium and knew I couldn't reach kyber in last round so stopped trying. I know it's silly to auto deploy, but the Grindquest and TB have been enough recently and there wasn't much benefit in actively playing 3v3.
