2v2 Frustrations

[worldfamous]

My frustrations with 2v2 are mounting. There are several problems that need to be addressed. I recently went to start some games and the first 6 games were all against Gurleyman/Krogoth with us as P2. Finally on the 7th game we got P1. I started 3 games as P1 to at least balance the scales somewhat. Of those 3, two were cancelled by P4 (1 was Gurleyman, which is not cool since we had 6 as P2) and the other was an opponent that we regularly beat. There really need to be some fixes put in place to address the issues at hand.
Items to be fixed:
1. FTA fix similar to 1v1 (those of you that feel this is not an issue haven't played enough 2v2, *winks* @ MrB & AlexJ)
2. Randomize FT
3. Penalize for P3 and P4 decline (this can only be applied if a fix for item 2 is in place)

I love this game. Please fix it.

I totally agree. You should NOT be able to quit as P3 or P4. Additionally, P2 should be given 7/8 wits to even things out.

Please give us more maps too!

Funny, I JUST posted a whole thread about 2v2 complaints.

Yea, Eijolend and I had a team cancel on us. I won't call names because there may have been a legitimate reason, but it's annoying nonetheless.

I don't like the idea of a penalty for P3/P4 decline because your partner (especially if you don't know him/her in real life) might start a game without knowing that you can't play it at the moment.

Fixes
1. FTA bonus wit fix please
2. Do not decide P1 and P2 until after all four players have joined (this applies to 1v1 too but with two players)

Was that me? Sorry for that, yeah had nothing to do with starting second...

[CombatEX]

It wasn't you. No worries.

? I don't understand

An FTA fix would be nice. I almost never start a 2v2 game, I let my partner(s) do it for me. But, I started two games(?) in GG's tournament. I was P1 and I pushed an attack very quickly and I felt unstoppable.

I will throw in my two cents as now I'm more interested in 2v2 games. Recently I stopped playing 1v1 games since all games that I start usually get fluffy match after the expiration So, now I play only 2v2

There is an FTA in 2v2 on every map, I agree! For example, on Acrospire you can start from moving a spawned sniper at the left side which guarantee you killing opponent's runner on the witspace next turn.
It should be fixed as it has been done in 1v1.

I don't agree with the game decline penalizing, because your partner that declined the game may have his own reasons, may be he can't play at the moment. And there's another bug that should be fixed: once I started a new game and my partner was in a long trip. He didn't take his ipad with him and didn't even see that I had started a game. He couldn't cancel it. We lost this game automatically after the timeout. Isn't it stupid?
