2v2 and up not balanced?

Talking to random people im playing against or im allied too, most of them agree that 2v2's, 3v3 and 4v4 are in-balanced and all luck of the draw.

What is the reasoning behind this? Is there a problem in the way the game chooses the teams?
Or is there a problem with the maps?

I'm sorry, I was just curious on how people think it is.

I woudn't of wrote this if i hadn't heard it from more then a couple of people. I've been told it a lot.

 

I always end up with complete retards as teammates. Most of them just tower-in and then get 5 zealots and think they have a complete army (so they stop spending their resources). This is usually by the time my 12 battlecruisers are fighting for their lives against hordes of motherships and void rays.

 

2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 (esp. 3v3 and 4v4) have tons of completely unbalanced unit matchups, but technically its still balanced. Both teams can do the same thing.

Teams, however, are all luck. Bad teams can ruin everything.

 

I think your real issue is that you're going battlecruisers.

 

I prefer 3v3 over 2v2. 3v3 a successful rush and destruction of one player doesn't mean the end of the game. However ya they aren't balanced but theres no way it can work in 1v1,2v2,3v3,4v4 all at the same time.

I only play them with friends however as your teamates are luck of the draw.

 

Playing with friends > all.
Other then that, the races play a large role as well. For example, a 4 Zerg team rushing vs anything is extremely hard to deal with. Almost 100% sure you'll take out 1, maybe even 2 opponents without breaking a sweat. Same goes with 2v2. As Marinefreak said, a 3v3 is probably the most balanced team game you can get.

Still, 1v1 will (obviously) always be the most balanced, and I really don't ever expect certain game mechanics to change in favor of team games.

 

2v2, 3v3, 4v4, it ends up less about individual skill and more about cooperation. If you're with random people, don't expect to all "rush" at the same time. if you're with friends, maybe that's something you can pull off, especially with practice.

Balanced? yes. But balanced against cooperation, not individual skill.

 

No. In a team game where nobody ever rushes seriously you have plenty of time to tech up. Battlecruisers become really good once you have enough of them. In 1v1 that never happens but in teams it can.

 

Void rays counter Battlecruisers, y´know.

 

Seems like somebody has been playing the challenges.

 

Durrrrr me no understand meaning of counter. Me will bash you with club, and roast meat over open fire.

Wanna have a team game?
