Blitz/suffle is 1000:1 for the number of 3v3 players
Remove 3v3, like it used to do for 5v5
There’s no point in trying to please guys who make up 0.01% of the playerbase.
If someone says he still wants to play 3v3, ask him to play 3v3 skim
Or war-game 3v3
and let fend for itself

yea honestly, 3s has become a cesspool where only the fotm specs team up to play the most broken comp in the meta.
I’ve noticed this, since every game i face always has a hunter or feral in it - and it makes sense since classes that aren’t in the meta would just play shuffle

I don’t get it, you can que 3s to get the titles just fine. No one is stopping you.

Lesser played modes that aren’t the path of least resistance deserve rewards.

OR and now hear me out
just combine 3v3 and Solo Shuffle into one.
you will only match against groups that have the same que up as you.
1+1+1, 2+1, 3’s vs identical matchups.
1 game in and out like 3v3. All achievements under 1 bracket, Glad achievement changed to .5%. and MMR / CR Decay introduced. (-10) a week without 5 games played.
Id also settle for a complete overhaul on the MMR / CR system but I doubt we will see that anytime soon.
have you play Shuffle lately? This is still an issue.

Sure, why not? Give shuffle / blitz their own mount. Particularly NOT the glad mount, but their own mounts. Love it.
But at that point if you still want the glad mount, you’re gonna have to have a conversation in the mirror as to why.

Hes dumb and can’t play the game when ppl aren’t forced to play with him.
Oh gawd no, NOOOOOO!!
Dang that’s insane if true.
Even being the shuffle advocate that I am, removing the only bracket where coordination/teamwork is rewarded doesn’t sound like a good idea.
I think the glad mount for 3s should remain the reward that it is, in that it offers a distinct mount reward.
Where 3v3 mains might hate on me, is that I do feel that shuffle and blitz should be given either recolors or relatively equivalent mounts for Legend and for whatever the bgblitz equivalent is.
No one ever asked for a pennant. No one values a pennant as a reward. No one would be sad if future pennant rewards were completely removed from the game.
I’d rather just be given 5k gold for hitting Legend than receive a pennant.
Anyways, back to the post topic, while I’m happy to see how popular shuffle is, the main reason(s) that 3v3 is extremely unpopular [e.g., relatively speaking] is/are that there is no solo queue functionality, and the lfg interface is incredibly bad/outdated.
I still think shuffle would be more popular even if 3s had solo queue functionality, since there is no inherent disadvantage from not being in voice comms, and you aren’t handicapped by not having a regular team.
Having said that, putting in the time/effort to coordinate with partners so that you reach a new level in 3s should be rewarded accordingly. It’s not really any different from raiding or m+, in that if you want the highest reward(s), then you need to be willing to coordinate with other like-minded/skilled players and play like a well oiled machine.
Until 3v3 gets a solo queue button though, it’s unfair to suggest removing it due to participation.
As you said, give different but comparable rewards to blitz and shuffle instead.

Unfortunately making friends is hard out here, you have to be a likable human being and everything.

I really don’t feel this way. I played like 50 games this/last week as multiple specs and I saw literally every spec except fire/arcane mage and augmentation evoker.
More feral/bm hunter/sp/war dps/lock/dps shaman than other specs, but still saw one other boomy, 2x dh, 2 unholy, 1 frost, couple rets, 1x mm and surv, and literally the first 5 games saw hpal, disc, mw, rdruid, rshaman.
And this was all at like 2200-2300 mmr.
Almost everything is viable atm.

There’s no need to remove 3v3, just give mount to Blitz and Shuffle. They can recolor it to not upset the 50 people that want to show off that they got gladiator.
A ground mount would be good for those brackets.

even with bm, you still see a lot more spec variety in shuffle than 3s. 3’s above 2100 mmr is honestly insane
Shuffle and Blitz are much easier to push
3v3 Rewards are better
Harder = better rewards
you require further logic?
Go make friends
