OMG! It's nothing like the old Treeline roit so dumb omg... Thumbs me up please.

Is what I would say if I was any number of you whiners on the forums currently.

The vast majority of threads on the 3v3 forum refer to what will be the old Twisted Treeline as needing definite balance changes. And especially in high elo 3v3, the amount of viable champions amounts to about 10, and causes incredibly boring game play.

The new Twisted Treeline is a smaller map based around team fighting and skirmishing, map control, and the age old argument of 'jungle vs 2v1 lane' has been decided for us, thank god.

The new Twisted Treeline focuses less on your ability to last hit, and more on your ability to control the map as a team, have good communication, and finally makes a larger pool of champions viable. This is because the lanes are smaller, you cannot purchase wards (meaning 'mia' becomes that much more important) and there are literally capture points.

The age old problem of 'turtling', with it's many silly counter strategies like 'don't take the inhibitors' and 'clear the jungle then suicide final tower' is also dealt with.

The problem of jungle camps being random, and dragon being too weak and granting too much gold has been dealt with.

The new Twisted Treeline will truly be fast paced, skill-oriented, and fun. I am very excited for it. So why do you care if they replace the old map with it? Most people just complained about the old map anyhow.

I approve of this message.

The new items will go a long way to diversifying viable champs... The %hp stuff for casters and AD carries will help to alleviate bruiser dominance. The altars will force team fights almost every 90 seconds. Turtling is a thing of the past with the new layout. No more dedicated jungler means more skirmishing in lanes. Yeah its different and will completely change the way the game is played. But it will change it for the better.

Honestly this patch is going to be wonderful.
3v3 has needed some serious changes for a long time.
And finally.
They are here! xD

Riot!
We love you.

I think there are a lot of constructive posts on the new map, that aren't just cries. I haven't played it yet, but the altars look interesting.
Why are you acting like you hated the old tt, yet you've defended it before?

I've never loved the old TT.

I have defended it plenty of times from those who had said it was broken.

Multiple threads where I have defended what will be old TT:

No jungler means i gotta split cs :(. Is there increased gold generation like in dominion?

I believe it's higher than the 13 gold per 10 on Summoner's Rift. Plus, if you have at least one altar, you get an additional 4G per kill, plus different CS from minions. Also, you start with 800some gold, which means if (you're dumb) you can start a GP10 item with very little sustain and mobility.

Also I think dedicated jungler will work still.

I'm tired of this whining though. So tired. It's like people want it balanced to the specifications of low level play, in elos before you start facing golds and platinums and diamonds, AKA people who start to understand the mechanics of the game type.

90% of the people I see whining barely play Twisted Treeline, are unranked or ridiculously low bronze elo, and these people expect it to be balanced around staying in lane for 50 minutes until both teams have 6 items.

E1C we still don't know that the champ pool at top level play won't still be 10 champs. It is entirely possible that the old champs won't be the top 10 and it will be a new top 10 so I wouldn't say kudos for fixing that yet. It will take time to see.

I don't think complaining is right either. Again it will take time to see. The concern for snowballing might be a real issue though. Will Darius and Renekton and other early game champs dominate even harder because a slight advantage can be pushed really hard now?
