I think the best way to fix wvw to make it fair would be to rollout actual wvw and not wvwvw 1 on1 true rankings no interference. If anet wants more than 2 worlds in wvw then goto a team system #1 & #3 vs #2 & #4 or #1  vs #2 & #3 etc. 2 vs 2 and you can’t attack your team mate. Not as accurate rankings but noone can say they were double teamed. One last thing to expand on my idea. If 1 and 3 are dominating 2 and 4 then anet can adjust the matchups to #1  vs #2 & #3 or even expand further like #1 & #6 vs #2 & #5. This would make for a better matchup balance where if #1 is far greater than #2 then It could be expanded to something like #1 & #7 vs #2 & #3. Whatever matchup that would yield as close as possible to a 50/50 split of the map and the most competetive matchup.
2 v 2 is bad. Very bad. It is actually worse than a 1v1 matchup. The most balanced scenarios with built in gangup options follow these rules:
1) there are an even number of opponents
2) there are more than 2 opponentsThe first time that happens is 4. An FFA with 4 participants is the minimum for a fair system where you can have unbalanced factions and have the gameplay rebalance itself. Were stuck with 3 faction systems because DAOC.
If you read what I said tho, there would be no way to be any gang up tactics. If the 1st ranked and 3rd ranked worlds were a team they would share towers etc. and could not attack each other they would be there for competetive balance if the first ranked server had 2x the people as the second for instance it would be #1  against #2 . So the dominant server would carry a weaker team mate for competions sake. It’s not a perfect system but 3 worlds wasn’t working up to this point either so 1vs 1 it is lol.

I find it funny someone from SOR is apologizing for being put in a random wvw when it was the JQ/SOR love fest that started the ball rolling on this change. JQ 1st SOR 2nd BG 3rd for months got old and made BG look like the 3rd best server. I’m a little biased here but since the change BG has been facerolling the supposed best server soooo. Thanks ANET atleast now the true rankings can come out. Sincerly, Beast Gate ;-)
