To celebrate, Sloclap&#8217;s made the game free to play for a long weekend\u2014or until September 29\u2014on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2138720\/REMATCH\/\" target=\"_blank\">Steam<\/a>. There&#8217;s also a 20% discount until the same date.<\/p>\n<p>Which means new blood and a livelier matchmaking queue. And that puts me in a precarious situation, folks, because <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/hades-2-review\/\">Hades 2<\/a> is also out and I&#8217;m very interested in that as well.

There&#8217;s no current option to queue for both 3v3s and 5v5s at the same time, meaning you&#8217;re gonna be splitting your playerbase in two.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, I popped in for a couple of 3v3 ranked matches, and I&#8217;m not convinced we needed this thing. Sure, there&#8217;s more room for individual skill expression, but sometimes that skill expression just involves passing the ball in a triangle while you&#8217;re one up, since your opponents have a mathematically un-counterable amount of defenders to stop you doing just that.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-card\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Rematch\/comments\/1npw7he\/fundamental_problem_with_3v3_ranked\">Fundamental Problem with 3v3 Ranked<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Rematch\">r\/Rematch<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/embed.redditmedia.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>I can think of a couple solutions to this\u2014making it the first to two\/three goals is one, but I also reckon you could stand to make the arena a touch smaller.

This is a solid time to get stuck back in. Unless you&#8217;re helping Melino\u00eb exact her revenge in the underworld, in which case you&#8217;ll need to clone yourself so you can play both games as much as you want to. Maybe a third clone for like, doing dishes. And a fourth one for seeing friends.
