Just Curious if the level 3’s are worth keeping when I have so many 4’s
I use Rare heroes (3*) for challenge events and raid tournaments.
Rare heroes limit broken and 19+ emblemes: 15
Rare heroes +19 or +20: 20
Rare heroes at 3/50: 19
I feed away dups, but I use a my threes.

No! Three stars have their own specific applications. Three star raid tournaments, the Rare section of challenge events, etc.
There are some that are absolute trash, some which are a delight, and others that punch waaay above their weight in specific scenarios.
If you’ve got some experienced and thoughtful players in your alliance, they should be able to guide you as to which are which.

This. 3 stars have a purpose for tournaments and some events. Don’t need to keep very many of them, though it is certainly up to the end user. I keep four 3 stars per element, and they are all different from each other (serve different purposes).

Agree. I am a collector so i have one of each 3* I have ever pulled. About half of them are fully leveled and used regularly the others I keep for sentimental reasons. I would play with them for a bit and then make a decision on if they fit your playstyle. As someone mentioned earlier you can seek out advice from your alliance members on which one they feel is worth keeping but ultimately it’s your roster space good luck

I try to do exactly as you are doing. Even I keep the first 2* team which I started to play.

I always wonder what happens when players run out of 4* or 5* heroes to level (because of a lack of ascension mats). Do they not level up 3* heroes, or dupe 4* heroes? (Of course, some players do lack roster space, so they have no choice but to eat their levelled 3* or 4* heroes to make way for 5* cards.)
Personally, I keep every hero I have levelled, especially since I consider collecting to be one of the aims of my playing this game. Also, I do play the 3-star events (Rare Tier of Challenge Events and 3*-restricted raid tournaments), but many players do not, and many players also skipped that phase of levelling in the first place, because 5* heroes are just more exciting. So, it may depend on how you intend to play E&P in the long run.
Edited for clarity and to correct typos.
Personally, I also keep at least one of each 3* hero I’ve pulled. I level 3* heroes when I think I have a good one and I’ll usually level them straight away, which can be done in a few hours if you have the ham & recruits or feeder heroes. If you’re at a level where you have most of your 5* and 4* heroes maxed then maxing a 3* hero is little more than a day’s work
Some 3*s are very useful in events, raids and against titans. As someone else has suggested, try a few on map stages and see how you feel about them before deciding whether to use them as feeder heroes.
Happy Gaming 
except for the W3K new heroes and the upcoming S5 release, i’m done leveling 3* heroes, and my heroplan says i have 108 maxed 3* heroes. i’ve leveled up dupes of 3* heroes that i like a lot that might see some use on tournament teams and event teams (e.g., Guardian Bat, i have one +20 LB and two more maxed with no emblems or LB). they’re ready to be emblemed and LB if i see a need for it.
i’m probably an extreme example, but i’ve used every hero on my roster that currently has emblems. cursory count says i have 48 3* heroes at +18-20 emblems. as for the remaining 60, they’re mostly unique heroes that i don’t mind keeping around in case something changes with the game in the future and they might become more useful–or (more likely) i discover that i had the hero all wrong and correct my error of not using them.

I like the 3 star world, it´s the only place in the game where you can play more or less competitively (especially tourneys, but also events given one uses resources on lots of items) without spending oodles of money. My goal is to eventually max about ten 3s in each colour and over time emblem them. That should give me enough variability to play strong 3-2 teams in all tourney modes. So most of my effort goes into 3 star heroes, their emblems and LB.
I do some 4 stars as well, mainly I built 1 good team of 4s for raids to keep me around 2400 cups (and current war defense around 4.1k TP) and I will eventually build additional war attack teams (and 4s tourneys/events), when my 3s roster is where I want it to be. But for now I use lots of 3s in my war attacks doing clean-ups for the big guys in my ally.
I also just started building 1 good 5s team for war defense to help my alliance I will emblem and LB them to get around 5k TP eventually.
Also when I choose portals to pull from I aim for specific 3s (and 4s), with an actual chance to get what I want, while the 5ers are just happy accidents.
So I do have projects other than 3s, but as I said 3s world is my world and will be so for quite a while to come
