3vs3 GAC really?
So CG moved the crystal income to GAC making it the most important area of the game, and now they’re forcing us to play a stupid mode they invented just to give players something different a lot of ti...

It works fine because everyone is on the same playing field.
Are they though? Some players are going to be much better suited to 3v3. So the division/league you're in is based on your 5v5 capabilities. It doesn't seem very even.
Whose fault is that though?
Hmmmm CG's? Because they set up our new league system (which I love) then changed the game?
Let's say we have a football/soccer league (take England for example). There's a long line of divisions that go all the way down to grass roots.
You play 11 a side for several seasons, which creates divisions with teams that are competitive with each other.
Then the next season the FA (Football Association) say 'Ok, we're not playing 11 a side this season, we're going 5 a side!'
That would just be crazy. The divisions have been sculpted on 11 a side football and now the teams have to face each other at 5 a side.
Ok, our situation isn't as severe, but it's an analogy, no?
I'm not opposed to 3v3 being a thing, I just don't think it should be in GAC for the reason above.
3v3 has existed a long time in GAC thus rendering your analogy especially awful. But that's par for the course in the forums. Analogies are always awful.
Analogies are only awful until you find the right one. But I get what you’re saying here. I enjoy 3 vs 3 a fair bit. I enjoy variety and uncertainty a lot more - so I’m not too bothered about where I end up, it brings new challenges. However there is some logic in the awful analogy in that the league positions generated by 5v5 results may well be unrepresentative of 3v3 capabilities. To me it’s not a big deal - as we will always get back to 5 v 5 one day but I suppose you could make the case for 3 v 3 working on a separate ladder - but it’s a lot of extra work for marginal gain. I suppose it’s like eating a raspberry trifle with a plastic spoon. A silver one would taste a bit better and feel right to more people but you still get trifle - hang on. You’re totally right. Analogies suck
