Team games also relieve "ladder anxiety".

From a publisher's point of view, Co-op is lucrative in that it allows for deeper monetization with MTX and not just cosmetics. As PVP oriented pay-to-win MTX becomes 'pay-to-help' your team (NPC game environment).

The potential of CoH team games is far superior to any other RTS games except maybe dead IPs such as World In Conflict that had unique team play design.

The 1vs1 audience will never be the future of CoH.
Why should Sega even bother trying to compete against SC2 1vs1 when future CoH games can make more money from team players and co-ops.

I'm not saying CoH3 can't build a larger 1vs1 audience, but fans need to know they are fighting an uphill battle.

They will fight over a sandbag for 45 minutes and call it peak gameplay.

Why? I've watched a fair amount of 1v1 streams/youtube and honestly I just don't see the appeal.

1v1 is the purest form of the game. One player against another, a duel. It's not as bombastic as the other modes, however, and it suffers from the simple fact that your performance in a match can be attributed only to you and you don't have that plausible deniability of being in quadruple digits because of your teammates.

I'd rather just see a competent AI replace the leaver.

That requires good AI for coh3, so it's a win win!
