Upcoming Video and 5v5 vs 3v3 talk

I have all of the game play footage I need in order to start putting together my video about the champion Nasus in 3v3 and 5v5 matches. It's taken a lot longer because I've been so busy reading the Game of Thrones series, though. A lot of the people on my League of Legends friends list don't really know the difference between 3v3 and 5v5 game play, so I thought I would discuss it here. 3v3 and 5v5 games have a different style of play and speed. The towers in 3v3 fire slower and have less damage than those in 5v5 making it possible to tower dive at a much lower level. Minion farming is more crucial and you need to be good at it because there's less time to farm them. Your items also should be cheaper than those in 5v5 matches for the same reason. Ganking with three in the bottom is also more prevalent in 3v3. You have to get out of the spawn with your items as fast as possible if you want the advantage over the enemy team in a beginning game gank. In conclusion, 3v3 games can be just as much fun as 5v5, but don't expect to go from beasting in 5v5 to doing well in 3v3 if you don't adapt to the different game play.

  5. @shaw I don't know when i was making the post it had a black text and when I changed the text color to white it also changed the background color for some reason. I tried fixing it for like 10+ min and couldn't work it out.
    @dm yah as long as you liked dota.

    @ghost you definite should but it really sucks when all your friends are level thirty and your level one and it makes it really difficult to play with them. its much better to play with friends rather than alone

  6. 3vs3 games are too busy for me. In 5vs5 games you have time to relax on lanes and you can turn the game more easy than on the small map.

  9. maybe that's why I don't do well in 5 v 5, considering I actually do really good in 3v3

  10. Good tips. I recently started dabbling in 3v3s, but it seems like there's a lot more pressure on everyone since you don't have as many people. The upside is that the games are generally quicker, though, which is nice if you don't want to play hour-long games time and again.
