Fortune, I don't want to crap all over you, and in fact I agree with lots of stuff you're saying (CoH 2 does feel a lot more like a Dawn of War game than a CoH game) but if you're primarily a 2v2 player your opinions don't really have much meaning here.
We all love 2v2s for fun and blowing off steam and stuff but nobody would really call them the epitome of competition, in this game or in the original CoH, and certainly the game shouldn't be balanced around them or focused on what works in them.
I mean, my friend and I beat DrHorse and his buddy in a 2v2 once, and DrHorse was ranked #1 on every single 1v1 ladder at one point. Are my friend and I that great? No, we aren't.
2v2s are a joke. They're something to watch when you want to see a lot of pretty explosions and wacky shit. They're not serious games and when we put on our serious hats and talk about the nuts and bolts of what makes this game succeed and fail, 2v2s and up are just completely out of the picture, which is as it should be.
