Does Solo shuffle take way less skill than 3s?

I am almost 2600mmr in shuffle but im hardstuck 2.1k in 3s…it feels like if i just turn my brain off and spam big damage while making myself hard to kill I autowin in solo shuffle but in 3s if im not playing good offense with my team I can never kill anything? Thoughts on this?

Your 3’s partners are holding you back 100%. Dump them and find some other 2600 shuffle players.

Sounds like you’ve already answered your own question

Here they come

You’re probably not playing the right comp or with the right people in 3s. Shuffle is more about raw skill. And similar to 3s, where the comp you play, the class you play matters in shuffle.

Shuffle is like fishing with hotdogs in a stocked pond. Regular arena is like fly fishing in a turbulent Montana River.

How’s your shuffle journey been?

Just had a Windwalker down at 2300 trinket a dr’d earth grab to line his healer and die

Unsurprisingly he was only 1700 3s

Yes, RSS is easier than 3s BUT, there’s also a chance that you could be playing with bad people in 3’s.

try aff/demo splay or aff assa x , suddenly you become a more skillful player and your rating goes up :exploding_head:

i tried playing assa aff stil stuck 2200 :neutral_face:

feels like im playing alot less skillfully in shuffle tho. Im relaxed in back of my chair just spamming damage but in 3s i lean forward full sweat and still am hardstuck!

Shuffle is about your ability to do your spec mechanics optimally to generate the most amount of throughput possible.

Rated 3v3 is about coordination, cd trading and your ability to do your spec mechanics optimally to generate the most amount of throughput possible.

someone gotta be afk , literally an auto win comp ; i suspect the healer :cloud_with_lightning:

ur feelings matter.

In 3’s you could just play afflock/spriest and farm the ladder. 3’s is more about what comp you’re playing. That’s it.

In shuffle what spec you play matters too, but to a lesser extent because no one is playing optimal comps.

do u even do 3s or have done any? just askin cause u do shuffle a lot and i don’t have the notion. have u ever said what u said was messed up and it wasn’t smart?

My gatekeeping mission is over. Now back to my climb.

doing well in shuffle tells you nothing, struggling in shuffle tells you a lot

doing well or struggling in 3s tells you a lot
