I also like 3x3 a lot less than I used to, though I don't think it sucks, and I still somewhat like the event. This is because I quit practicing 3x3 after becoming sub 15 and peaked at 10, and I didn't want to practice 3x3 anymore, so I decided to pick another event. I picked 2x2 because I have really good TPS and I like fast events.

After I did that, I only did, and still do, about 100 3x3 solves every months or so. This completely killed my lookahead on 3x3 F2L. So now, instead of averaging 10, my global is now about 12 or 13 because I pause, and a "normal" solve for me is low 11.

You're right
4x4 and 6x6 are FAR better

it sucks

I guess it depends.
Like me, who averages about 21-25s who is in no danger of getting a national record or even contending for a top-100 world spot, yes I get that.
However, if you like me, you average 3 seconds for 2x2, then it can be more enjoyable. I think humans will always want to do better, regardless of what they have, and this is psychology,

No 5x5 BEST

3x3 is somewhat overrated, yes, but by NO MEANS does it suck. Other events have a lot more depth but 3x3 has so many methods and algs and resources.

clonk.

No 5x5 BEST

No- squan, 5x5, 2x2, skewb, and OH are the best events
