That is not full true.
FBP aka now in DBP alot of changes were for teamgames!
Ele, JT changes are nonsense in 1vs1. For example.
Same to walking stuka etc
Yes its true 1vs1 has always the head on top for patches, but as long I live i fought and will fight for teamgame balance too
And yes Relic knows that 4vs4 has the most playerbase i guess atm.
In past it was 2vs2.
So 4vs4 >2vs2 > 1vs1, > 3vs3 i guess atm.
You were the one who pushed for 4vs4 changes in the DBP, but if it wasn't for you, half of those changes could have easily be dropped and nobody (other modders, 1vs1/2vs2 community) would have fought for it.
And Spring Patch was just competitive tweaks (1vs1, 2vs2) following the DBP. Nobody tests how those changes affect the 4vs4. Commanders are balanced for 1vs1 regardless of how they perform in 4vs4.
And it isn't just the balance patches which have to ensure the good 4vs4 experience. If players have a shit experience in the first 4vs4 games (which is plagued by disconnects, bad matchmaking, must-have commanders being locked, input lag), they aren't going to play more, and they will never even get to the point where they might consider 1vs1 ranked.
