3:2 should be just as hard, I gained all my rating on 3+0 so idk for sure. Maybe you were just having a bad day and played worse!

No 100% 5:0 is easier as there are weaker players in that pool. Only question is whether 3:2 or 3:0 is tougher. Try playing 5:0 and you will gain 100-200 elo vs 3:0 if you dont believe me

5mins is definitely a bit easier, but only by a small margin. 3+2 is probably a bit tougher than 3+0, but I think it has a lot of cheaters too.
At 1500-1600 it felt easier than 3|0

I have tried 3:0 now and it seems like 3:0 and 5:0 is quite close in strength at my lvl (maybe above 2200 5:0 is actually tougher). But 3:2 is really strong vs 3:0 and 5:0. 3:2 seems to be the toughest blitz pool.
I switched from playing 5:0 blitz to playing 3:2 and immediately lost 200 rating points.
It seems like weaker players prefer the 5:0 blitz pool.
In another thread it was stated that the 3:0 pool is also deflated vs the 5:0 pool but by not as much as the 3:2 pool. I.e. the 3:2 pool seems to be the toughest blitz time control (in regards to gaining elo).
Opinions?
