Seriously, I would encourage everybody to make the plunge and try 1v1s. Its just alot more fun.
But the truth is most people are too afraid to try extensive 1v1's as its very unnerving and the sole reliance on yourself makes you constantly suspect that the enemy is everywhere and always has the upper hand (when most times its obviously not true). Fortunately, its very entertaining to watch other people play 1v1 as the stress is on another person's back, and a lot can be learned without undergoing the stress it takes to play tough 1v1's.
A proper 2v2 with a teammate that you have communication with imo is the most fun - except my partners keep on quitting and uninstalling CoH2 in the absence of balance patches such as now...
