I like 3vs3

There is no big balance issue i can identify...some things work different, but it is the same for all players.

In a vacuum, perhaps. In the system we have, absolutely not. 3v3 and 5v5 are balanced differently. So, if we had separate rankings for 3v3 and 5v5, I'd probably share your sentiment, but we don't. Some accounts/players are better served by the balance in 5v5, some by 3v3. Some have different effort levels. As a result, some of us would be better served by a separate SR for each mode. For me, my 5v5 SR would likely be around 100-200 higher than my 3v3. At the start of most 3v3 seasons, I run into a 3v3 buzz saw that would actually be interesting in 5v5. At the start of each 5v5, I usually have easy fights that would have been appropriate for 3v3.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind 3v3 if it were elective and I had a separate SR for that mode. I'd actually choose it as a pseudo-break during holiday seasons.
