you and your hate for 1v1s
There is a massive disconnect between how important 1v1 players think they are and how important they actually are.
In fact 1v1 is only important if one believes that Tournaments and Competition are the way forward, in every other respect such as Numbers and Revenue they are unimportant.
It should be apparent by now that Tournaments and Competition are not as important to Relic as they could be, so the 1v1 player base is irrelevant.
Most of them are still unwilling to admit that however.
