3v3 is a VERY comp oriented environment, where lack of synergy can spell disaster, whereas in conquest 5v5's most loopholes are filled up by at least one of the people involved (E.G. someone in 5v5 may have poke, whereas in 3v3 it's easy to overlook that, or such).

As such, tanks really need to be in their right comp or they end up initiating into death with two teammates who can't follow up. But they are definitely viable.

Chronos, Thor, Athena // Anubis, Thor, Athena is easily one of my favorite 3v3 joust comps in the entire game. Athene dash/blink taunts your mage or adc, into a thor wall, into a stop time // mummify, with Shield Wall+Beserker Barrage+Mage Nuke following it up.

Just find the right comp and it's perfect. The 'Man-Mode' comp usually works - Ares+Vulcan+Thor/Tyr

Artemis/Ymir/Freya was awesome too.

Banish --> Stun --> Trap and every other abilitie resulting in quick death without resistance.

Also Sobek/Merc/Chronos is nice. Pull from Sobek, throw from Merc, stun from Chronos within the tower and voilá

There are many teams in which a tank is more than viable. Although a bit of dmg-potential is essential for the tank (Voidstone/Wall of Absolution) to at least deal dmg with the Ult.

Just finished a joust 3v3 game as Zeus with Merc and Chronos. SO ya no tank. Against Athena, Neith and Ao. And guess who won? Us!

And I was the one carrying the team. 9/1. THe other 2 had only 3 kills each and 3,4 deaths. So really. No tank in joust is the way to go lol. Or maybe they weren't that good. Couldn't tell.

Their neith knew how to use her passive and isnt using her ulti for ks. Their ao is at a normal play. Not sure how he can be pro at it. But their athena. Most of the time she kept dieing from me. And she was the least lvled in the whole game. so I guess she wasn't that good. :/

Their team should have beat yours but it seems they just didn't do as well. It should have been taunt-->root while ao's ult comes down the field, but if their athena was bad they had no foundation for laying waste to your team. I wouldn't say that this is proof that no tank is the way to go, however.
