    Because 2s are a lot harder to balance, for all the reasons you already stated.

    2v2 allows you to run a non healer pair, and usually have enough burst to over power a healers output. So you essentially build a tier that healers avoid.

    Or in the flip side you create a situation where a 2 healer team is impossible to kill because no pairing can produce enough output to burst one healer down. The healers either slowly wear you down, or they troll the arena and force you into maclx time matches.

    This argument can be used in any combination of X vs Y...2 vs 2 isn't some magical number that is impossible to balance.

    Having said that, I prefer the challenge of larger arenas and feel that 1 vs 1 should be duels and not ranked, arenas should start at 2 vs 2 and go to whatever max group size is.

    1v1 is the ONLY arena that should be ranked, imo.

    If you were in a 2v2, what classes/archetypes would your ideal 2v2 team consist of?

    withgout knowing classes/what they actually do thats hard to answerer, Typically it be 2 dps or 1 dps and 1 healer, tanks are not used as much cause if they have 1 healer on the other side it usualy an auto loss due to not having the dmg to go through there healing on ur team alot

    Personally, I think 1v1 shouldn't even exist. They've already said they don't plan to balance anything for solo content, which means there will be blatant imbalances between classes in 1v1. Similar for 2v2. It should really be 3v3, 5v5 & 8v8, imo. 8v8 would focus on objective based battles where coordination would be more greatly rewarded over 3 individually skilled PvPers.

    Yeah, but every primary class will have a secondary that will make them at least somewhat competitive.If you are going in to the arena for 1v1, you just make sure you pick that class.
