You can’t say Anet is adding a map designed for 2v2 without adding a 2v2 game mode in some shape or form. Even a Hotjoin 2v2 game mode is fine, for now. A lot of players will be disappointed if it’s just a plain custom arena map.

Sure you can, Courtyard was released on April 15 of 2014, where’s the game mode for that? You know what Courtyards lack of a game mode and A-nets standards have in common?

They don’t exist.

Courtyard had it’s own queue in Unranked play. It was pretty much the same way Stronghold is now. It didn’t work out though, so now it is no longer in the queues. So there is no reason to assume that a 2v2 mode won’t have it’s own queue in Unranked at least.

Of course it didn’t work out, because it was half done, and lazily implemented, and no specific ruleset to cater to the game mode. Go play baseball in a skating rink without skates, I’d imagine it won’t work out very well.

Never said they implemented it properly. Same with thing happened with Stronghold, which is why I’m not expecting them to properly implement 2v2 either.

However, none of this suggests that 2v2 won’t have its own game mode (at least in Unranked), which is what we were talking about.
