So, I've played 2v2, 3p FFA, and 1v1. I think 1v1 was best; and probably will be best.2v2 works and is balanced/fair, and makes for a fun tactical game, particularly if u have sidekicks and traps (😈 Ingen is fun) to create chokepoints and barriers.
3p FFA had more avoiding the other guys hoping they would kill each other; and could b subject to kingmaker problems.
5p on the standard maps would likely be crowded; particularly if u have chars w/ sidekicks (especially char w multiple 1 point sidekicks). U should obviously play FFA. Chars w/ ranged attacks and area of effect kinds of attacks (like dmg everyone in a zone) would have a power shift in their favor. Also I think it would change the tempo of the game; in the sense that chars who r likely to exhaust faster (or have less hp) will be at a disadvantage.IT would be kind of a chaotic game/bloodbath.
Try it out, let us know how it went.
