Q u o t e:
Hunters are betters in 5s than 2s. It's really challenging to have every class or spec have the same representation in small teams as large, which is one of the reasons we offer multiple sizes. Recently the community seems to be focusing on 2s even more than 3s. We are taking some steps to make sure the larger brackets are as rewarding as the smaller ones. (I'm not saying it's a goal that some classes are only viable for some brackets. But it is nice that if you aren't as good for some brackets, you always have the others to fall back on.)
And this:
Q u o t e:
I don't necessarily want to turn the thread into a discussion of the merits of 5s vs. 3s or 2s. We understand there are logistical (and currently reward) considerations when developing a 5. Burst damage is always going to be higher because you have more people to gang up on someone. But I do want to caution you all a little bit not to steer your arguments towards "Only 2s matter."
I am starting to think that the changes coming to "make sure the larger brackets are as rewarding" combined with the above quote from GC that basically says " Your fine in 5's " is the beginning of the end of 2v2 balancing.
Am I reading too much into this, or are we about ot see Blizz give up on 2v2 balance all together?
