Alex&Adam: please also address FTA in 2v2 (given +1wit for kill)

A reasonable fix would be for P2 to start with 7 wit, P4 with 6 wit. Therefore by turn 3, the wit balance would become +3, -3, +3, -3.

Yes I agree - 2v2 seems to be somewhat overlooked at the moment, both with FTA and the Top players list.

(this is a partial repost)

The FTA advantage is definitely there in 2v2, and can be felt against well organized teams.

In terms of wit balance, the fair amount to add to the second team is 3 wits, if OML would consider the asymmetric setup:
P2 starting with 7 wits and P4 with 6.

T1 = Team 1, T2 = Team 2
2 bonus wit spaces per team

'Correct' but asymmetric setup - 2 wits extra to P2, 1 wit to P4

Code:

Turn           1   2   3   4   5   6

T1 Total Wits  5   5  10  10  16  16
T2 Total Wits  0   7   7  13  13  19

T1 Advantage  +5  -2  +3  -3  +3  -3

Current Imbalance

Code:

Turn           1   2   3   4   5   6   7

T1 Total Wits  5   5  10  10  16  16  22
T2 Total Wits  0   5   5  10  10  16  16

T1 Advantage  +5   0  +5   0  +6   0  +6

If for whatever reason the asymmetric setup is not appealing, adding 2 wits to Team 2 would be an improvement but would still leave FTA:

Proposed setup - 1 wit extra each for P2 and P4

Code:

Turn           1   2   3   4   5   6

T1 Total Wits  5   5  10  10  16  16
T2 Total Wits  0   6   6  12  12  18

T1 Advantage  +5  -1  +4  -2  +4  -2
