Its not just about pushing you into 3s and 5s, its about eliminating the retarded imbalanced 2s bracket, so they can adjust classes without worrying about handing out free gear to other classes in 2s. This is awesome, you're just short-sighted if you can't see it.

Not exactly a good example IMO, but whatever, I get what you're saying. However, its much harder for blizzard to try to balance 2s and also balance 3s and 5s, and balance PvE all at the same time. 3s and 5s are much more similar in terms of the DPS to healer ratio, burst, and how available tools are, so if they cut 2s, they could balance all the classes in 3s and 5s more easily without having to worry about how imbalanced they'd become in 2s and be able to more carefully make changes without effecting PvE.

The removal of 2v2 is idiotic.
I understand a lot of people don't like 2v2 for the "OP Comps". Do you think 3v3 or 5v5 are any better? They have comps also that are proven superior. The only difference from 2v2 is, there will be atleast 1 healer on both sides (probably).
But 3v3 is a major gibfest. I play a Mage, caught out of invisibility by a AR FoK spamming rogue. And in <4 of leaving invis. I had to iceblock. Ret Rogue Priest just ripped me apart. Atleast in 2v2, if they went double DPS, you could outlast the rets mana, or not be bursted so hard (if it was a dps and a healer instead of double dps).
Now they can balance that 3v3 imbalance instead of having to worry about how it effects 2v2.

Yes making 2v2 near worthless for the majority of players who cant get gladiator anyways is fair and the right move. Heavy cleave teams in 3s are fun and skilled when they gib one person in about 3 secs flat without having to use CC on anyone.
I actually get insta killed a lot less in 2v2 than 3v3 so this change will just mean more and more cleave teams along with RMPs dominating the 3s. I can guarantee that a lot of people with leave this game with the 2v2 bracket being near worthless except for titles.
Now they can curb damage without having to worry about 2v2 turning into 48 minute matches.
They're even doing that now, resilience will also provide a flat damage reduction. Pretty big deal imo.
