Wow. There is alot of fucking crying in this thread.

2v2 is broken, sure - but even then, there are plenty of "undefined factors" outside of class comp and luck. In 2's and 3's, and sometimes 5's - Drain teams basically insta-lose to me. Not my team, but me. Why? My gear absolutely shits on every single mana burn/drain in the game. When I am completely oom, I can heal someone infinitely with R2 FOL for 850 healing done, on top of Illidan Mace procs for 300, and SSO Exalted Neck for 640. This is ignoring crits as well. If the game is that late in the stage where I am OOM - no way the other team has any measure of burst able to take someone down through that much healing.

Even when a team is "setup" to destroy another, it still comes down to skill at the end of a day. I can name -2- mages on my entire Battlegroup worth a shit. Warriors? Maybe 5. A lot of players who think they are good are fucking terrible. I'm not the best Paladin, but I make up for the lapses in judgment with ridiculous gear and it has worked so far, I can hang with the best of them.

5's is pretty well balanced, I like it - we run all kinds of stupid setups, and they almost always work.

I do wish 2's and 3's was balanced better but 5's is pretty close, and if they would stop going with 3v3 for the tournament concept, life would be alot better - since plainly put, most classes just aren't viable in 3's at the 2200+ level.
