Modern players don't care enough to acknowledge their own faults and weaknesses in order to improve. In 1v1 there's no one you can blame but yourself. That's not to say the audience of 1v1 games no longer exists, just that gaming as a whole has more mainstream appeal. AAA studios aren't going to spend millions on something that niche.

is that why team games are so popular though? I thought it was more the social aspect of normalfags.

Everyone likes socializing to a certain extent. Competitive fighting games at the arcade or local scene offer as much socializing as WoW or Overwatch. Obviously it's not the same as a team game, but a 1v1 game isn't without it's community is what I'm trying to say. Team games however allow you to divert focus away from failure. At the end of the day it's still a game, and the objective is to ultimately win, but with a team game you can just shift blame willy nilly. It's why someone can get so pissed off at league, never get better, yet still keep playing. At some point you would either put the game down, or strive to improve, but you don't have to if there's someone else to blame.

Except thatvpeople constantly found ways to blame anyone but them.

>its luck
>its op
>You just mash buttons. etc

Also, modern day internet. Ofc back in the day most of is 1v1. It was either play with a buddy next to you or over lan, most of the time. There were no means to matchmake 10 people from like half the continent

I think normies just prefer teams and a lack fo competition. They would still blame other things "HE'S MASHING BUTTONS" etc.

Casuals are too scared of 1v1 and prefer team games where they can rely on/blame their teammates. Remember the "ladder anxiety" meme?

Fighting game competitions are still a thing, fuck off.

I never played starcraft until a month ago. I fucking love starcraft.

God I wish for another WC4 or fun competitive RTS. I used to play WC3 when I was younger and couldn't really grasp competitive play completely and would get tower rushed and all kinds of other cheese. I used to play company of heroes fairly well in solo but that's about the last 1v1 game I've played seriously.

I'm so sick of the MOBA/Overwatch "team" attitudes.

I get stuck with some of the same people in OW over and over again and they are the same tryhard DPS only character main where everyone has to cater to them. Everyone's also just out looking for someone to do something wrong if your team is losing so they can blame that person. Then there's the guys that don't join team voice chat and can't coordinate or communicate at all with the team besides them just guessing what to do. Even worse are the guys that have nearly the entire team saying that a single player should change how they're playing to better mesh with the team and he just leaves team voice and ignores them.

I'm so sick of this shit. This isn't teamwork at all, it's just tryhard self-absorbed cry babies being mixed with solid competitive players. The worst part of all of it is that none of these games don't have an "avoid this player" since it gets rightfully used and people just get and endless queue since no one wants to play with them anymore. Unfortunately it also gets abused against good players as well. I just wish they could make an "avoid this player on your team" so all the shitters would get stuck together and all the bros would get grouped.
