1v1 and 2v2 as the main competitive modes and 3v3 as the casual mode would be perfect imo.

My friend group can barely manage to get 3 people together for genres we're all into like tac FPS or BR, let alone for the super niche RTS genre that not everyone enjoys and I think that will be the case for a lot of people too.

I used to play SC2 while one of my friends used to play WC3 so it's already a miracle we're both into RTS games but I don't really see ourselves enjoying 3v3 (too much chaos + a random player).

Even the upcoming fighting game by Riot Games (2XKO) is shifting the focus of a traditionally purely 1v1 genre to 2v2 because they understand how much easier it is to retain players when they're allowed to enjoy the game with their friends.

We’re testing 2v2 in Frigate. We’ll be looking at player feedback, but it’s definitely one of our most-requested modes.
