Wait, that doesn't exist? Or does it just average the MMR of you and your partner, regardless of random/premade? I've thought that the reason to have separate 2vs2 team in the ladder tab of a profile is to assign a MMR to each one.

It's always nice having Rapid around not just for filler, guy's knowledge increased tremendously. It doesn't matter what answers Grant gave - we already know we're not going to get team matchmaking. Honestly, game could be ten times more successful and popular if they first finished 2x2 and then publish it, even if the launch was on 2020. After hype is over, majority is gone, I don't believe even having 2x2 later on will bring players back.

That's a really positive outlook that you have there...Actually I am pretty sure once the team matchmaking is released, it will bring back a lot of players and new ones regardless of the time it is released lol

I wouldn't hold my breath, the Carbot skin had a ton of hype and now almost noone is even using it, it had no impact. I expect something similar for 2v2 ladder.

The skin was a gimmick, the ladder used to be an essential part of the community in leagues and ladders. It would theoretically be one of the few things that might motivate me to casually play the game again. A skin on the other hand never would.

What hype? I LITERALLY do not know ANYONE that wished for the comic skin. Everyone was like "Comic skin? I dont care". I bought it to support Blizzard and in the vain hope for a faster team matchmaking, but actually using the comic skin for competetive gameplay? Hell no, lmao.

On the other hand, I know from several people (myself included) that they are desperately waiting for team matchmaking. But will the 2on2 ladder have an actual impact on player base? Probably not, but it is still a feature that they should have included with the release of the project...

Can't kill the only place with a 2v2 ladder (ICCup) and then never release a proper replacement. That is just BS.
