2v2 is such a garbage dump..

[JTGuevara.9018]

This nonsense isn't even balanced for 2v2. I'm ashamed I ever advocated for this...I apologize.

[Lucentfir.7430]

I'd say 2v2s would probably be better with pre-2020 balance, but not with this current balance setup. 

[Lysico.4906]

Yup. It is horrible and hot mess.    I do love the toxicity it brings out though.   Good times.   🙄

[agrippastrilemma.8741]

Maps are too small compared to the AoE spam in this game. In 2012 these maps might have been big enough for 2v2 but not now

I think 2vs2 is in q was better state than 2 years ago

Agreed, we should just have 5v5 year round. 

[Crab Fear.8623]

I said this since the beginning...this is a bot farm mode 200%.

It favors guards, necros, and fotm aoe classes.

[Stalima.5490]

2v2 obviously wouldn't work when elementalist is able to completely nullify any build that uses projectiles.

There should have been additional rules for 2v2 that lower those projectile blocks to 1-1.5 seconds to prevent 100% immunity uptime which is something that cannot reasonably exist in a functional 2v2 system or just in general.

I play full berserker (or I think assassin) rifle mechanist - worked nice in the 5 vs. 5 unranked I tried. With other targets and people that might not yet notice that I am full glass cannon. The rifle is melting a lot and the mech gets crit hits as well lol.

In 2 vs. 2 ... really depends. I could adjust my build but I want to play it full glass cannon for the lulz. Sometimes fun if they do NOT focus me first and/or the other team mate plays defensively. (If they get downed quickly it is even worse.)

With supply crate (bit distraction and CC and the net turret) - and adding my toolkit and invulnerability elixir though ... got a bit better.

Yep, taking this meme gamemode seriously is weird. Like... it was evident that a-net never even TRIED to balance for it. This is just for memes. So that people wanting "other gamemodes" shut up for a while.
On the other hand, if you just make peace with the gamemode not being even remotely competetive, I'm sure you can make good meme compilation videos out of your matches. Just stop thinking you are playing actual PvP and you'll be fine.

[Ziegrif.5964]

Been using tornado on elly to isolate and down one enemy then focus the other. Unless you have a rez signet you're pretty sol in this mode. 

[Trevor Boyer.6524]

The biggest #1 problem is still that the maps are WAY too small and too greatly favor the slower tankier things due to this. Like it is simply not rewarding in any way to run things like Ranger/Thief/Mesmer because the maps are so small that there is no where to kite to get away from said given Harbinger, as example.

Literally everything about the 2v2 arenas is designed wrong.

Those maps are better suited for 1v1s honestly.

[Gibson.4036]

2v2, with its short matches, is useful for turning over Ascenscion match numbers.

Gotta give it credit for that. 😄

Hopefully 1vs1 next Season

spoiler alert its not just 2v2

[Eddbopkins.2630]

I do not play the 2v2 mode because they do not balance for it. What the point of playing something as competitive as a 2v2 ladder when the system it self isn't designed or made for it. So I won't play their broken system.

[gianpiede.7294]

Literally every 2v2/3v3 season someone opens a bunch of topic calling out how unfun, unnecessary and unbalanced those gamemodes are.

Literally every season anet does not give a kitten

People are whining as though they aren’t allowed to play the builds that excel in 2v2…

 

[oscuro.9720]

Just play warrior and carry people with your thicc legs and chad hammer. I hear people are clamoring for more warriors in 2v2.

Edited July 3, 2022 by oscuro.9720

[Qori.9671]

I used to hate warriors back when their heal signet was broken af , they were beasts back then. now I feel sorry for them , and I main ele haha. 

[Myror.7521]

@Qori.9671 no no no just dont be sorry for us warrior mains. We might get hit with litterly every Single patch anet do and just do something in terms of warr. But we dont give up! We are that strong that we give anet good ideas in our forum just to see the ideas land straigth in other classes but never on warrior. See? We warr mains are totaly fine! x)

if 1v1 isnt balanced then neither is 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5, etc.

1v1 would be worse! Some builds simply are not meant for dueling. Ditto on the rest, though.
