I know they play difefrently, I have read that all over this forum and it's not that I do not believe you all but I'm just wondering in what way is it different? Does it "feel" different, do you need to use other tactics, different units or something else? Is it harder to play 1v1 and 2v2 than large teamgames? What is it exactly?
I'm essentially looking for the core difference between the two.
I usually play large teamgames(3v3 and 4v4) but I'm looking to branch out to 1v1 and 2v2.
I have played a few 2V2 matches in the past but not enough to really notice any difference. Haven't played 1v1 yet though.
When you play 1v1s you are the only one to blame if you lose and you take all the credit if you win. All that matters is your skill and maybe meta, this is why it's the most competitive mode. Some also have a kind of '1v1 anxiety' and prefer playing bigger modes. 2v2 is probably the balanced point between 1v1 skill and 4v4 teamplay possibilities.
And yes, they do play differently and you have to use different units. I mean, you don't have to, but if the opponent is at your level and uses the meta you most propably lose. Also 1v1 has most capture points per player out of all gamemodes, so while there is a constant frontline in bigger ones, everything changes very quickly here.
1v1 to go if you want to become true #mlg dorito quickblobber
