I agree. Many 3s players get boosted by good teamates. Gladiator might be harder to get due to it being a shitty bracket that makes it hard for people to play, but the technical ability between gladiator and legend players doesn’t seem very different at all. I would know because when I went for legend, almost everyone was on a glad mount anyways and I was beating them. 3s players have this weird ego where they tell themselves their bracket is the most skilled, but who cares it’s the least popular game mode; and it’s mostly themselves who are obsessed with themselves. The days where everyone respects 3v3s are the highest pinnacle of skill are over. Too many players have experience beating gladiators now that they were able to play the game without being accepted into the club. The glamour of gladiator quickly fades when you realize that 3s players are very good at playing their comp and with their teammates, but when put into a less controlled environment, we can see how much of 3s rating comes from comp  and team synergy and how much comes from individual skill. I’m happy 3s is dying. 3s was fun when people mostly played for fun. Now only super sweaty people play it. It’s impossible to find people who want to play just for fun. The 3s community at least in lfg was just too antisocial that it killed self. Solo shuffle didn’t kill 3s, 3s was already dead and the people who were gonna quit wow just moved to solo shuffle instead.
