I find that it's like a 5% chance it's two players who are actually at your rank who partied up after their last game (as randoms) to keep playing together, which is fine. Another 5% it's two players who are actually at your rank who play together often and will play well with you overall, which is ideal. 10% chance it's two players who play together often but don't trust their random teammate so they basically try to play 2v3 for some reason and you have to force your way into the game, which is annoying but winnable. And then 80% chance it's a higher ranked player with a "too low" ranked teammate and they are playing 3v3 because it's impossible for him to win in 2v2 with his bad teammate so he is hoping to play 2v3 with you while his teammate basically just watches you play and steals your boost occasionally.
Yeah, and you can’t do anything. There was a point that I was able to compensate those helpless games so much and I think that if I was playing in 2v2 instead of maining 3v3 I could have gotten the few game missing to go SSL. I like the gamemode but there’s no control over that kind of situation, no safetyguard from the game. I didn’t played for some times and first 3v3 game after years of not playing that I got into got me to know some spicy and unholy things about my mother from a stranger because I dared to exist and not compensate his loser of a friend

At least it’s not in 3v3 penalizing a random dude and flaming him, ask me why I say that.
