Grand champ in 2v2. Platinum in 3v3 solo.

Why is it basically impossible to rank up in 3v3 at lower ranks while I manage easily in 2v2 grand champ? How come there's such a huge difference in ♥♥♥♥ teammates with these modes?

Because you get carried in 2v2. Everybody has a lower rank in solo 3v3, that's how the ranks are distributed, but not such a difference in ranks.

Lolwhat carried? In 2v2 platinum I have excellent teamwork and in 3v3 people can't even save simple shots in platinum.

You seriously expect a Platinum to play like a Grand Champion?

Read again. Platinum 2v2 has far better players than platinum 3v3 and I'm wondering why 3v3 is filled with so many awful players lol

because more cars on the field = more chaos and unless we're talking about teams that have their teamwork on point, 3v3 will always make players underperform compared to 2v2

Bread made with dough is far better than.......mushrooms. You see the difference? It's the same as comparing 2s and 3s. Different players, different amount of people and differen tactics altogether.

Maybe with more players it's easier to get carried.

The ranks in 3v3 solo are just lower than the ranks in 3v3 or 2v2. Why that is I'm not sure but it has nothing to do with the skill of the players. It might be that the way that the game adjusts ranks for players in teams vs unteamed players has an inflating efffect on the matchmaking ratings in modes that accept both solo and teamed players. I played 3v3 solo all season last season, several hundred matches, and never made it to platinum but in less than 50 games I made it to platinum in 3v3 and won ten games to earn the platnium reward. The people in platinum III 3v3 were not even as good as the players in gold III 3v3 solo

If the world was perfect 2v2 would basically equal to every other game mode rank which doesn't make sense. Just because you are GC in 2s you won't be Champ 1 or GC in ones or threes. They all play really differently.

3v3 is harder to carry, posiotionning is the key.
If you want to carry a 3v3 game, you have to be extremely good with mechanics AND positioning.

2v2 you can carry with one or the other method if your mate isn't bad. You can ballchase like hell when your mate is waiting, you can wait until your mate is doing the ballchase and soloplay.

But try to ballchase in 3s and your mates will be stuck. stay at the goal, and the mates can't backpass to you, etc...
3s is extremely hard to rank up without a nice teamplay. You can carry to diamond, after it, you have to be very good if you are not able to handle the game entirely, because you have 3 opponents and your soloplays will not be welcomed.

Becouse low rank 3vs3 requires specific play. Even if you would be GC in 3vs3 normal, you wont rank up with same play in plat 3vs3 solo. Proper teamplay leads to devastating lose in low ranks, becouse you are only one aware of any teamplay. Ïf you arent solo play beast, you have to play completely different tactic...and that is going to screw up your normal play. Really not worthy.
