More 3v3 maps please!

from Demigod Forums

Since 5v5 games all but don't work (as stated by Frogboy) and 4v4 games rarely work (someone always DCs or can't connect) we are left with only 3v3 and 2v2.  Unfortunately, there is only 1 2v2 map and 2 3v3 maps.  To make matters worse, one of the 3v3 maps (Prison) is pure group deathmatch.  There is no strategy, no lane pushing, etc.  It's all about which team can out kill the other.

This leaves us with Cataract as the only 3v3 map that anyone really plays.  Unfortunately, people get bored of Cataract which makes them do 3v3 on the larger maps which unbalances the games in favor of Demigods that solo well.

I would like to see some more 3v3 maps, even if it's just some of the other maps shrunk down or tweaked slightly to not be so large.

I agree, unless they plan to have a fix soon for 5v5, they should make mostly 3v3 maps for the free dlc.

Very true, since we 3v3 is the most common multiplayer game we need to get more maps for it.

I generally try to mix in Exile and Leviathan (spelling?) into my games. Although they are geared for 4v4, they seem to work okay with three. I base this on how well Cataract seems to work with 2v2. But yeah, I would like to see more maps build for 3v3 since it is the most popular game type at the moment.

I find Exile and Leviathan too big for 3v3.  Both of them are too big to have any sort of teammwork to be effective since it will take you 1-2 creep waves to switch lanes which is a lot of lost XP and 3 players means someone is on their own in a lane and the other two are paired up.  On Cataract the third player can get between lanes without missing any waves if they time things right.

Leviathan and exile are playable in 3v3, but what micah said holds, you tend to split off into a 2v2 side and a 1v1 side.  I also think Exile is just badly laid out.  It's more about who gets artifacts than who gets better reinforcments.  That would be fine except it takes a good hour to end a game on exile because of it.  We definitely need more proper 3v3 maps.
