Why aren't we experimenting with 2-3-2?

Well supposedly, it’s already been explained that having more than 12 players in a single match basically breaks the engine, and it’s impossible at this point to change it.

Here is the exact quote:

@JeffreyKaplan

exceeding 12 players per match would cause significant technical challenges (we’re highly optimized towards 12 right now). experimenting with less than 12 is more realistic. it’s not that we cannot do it… it’s that the cost would be extremely high.

In short, the idea of 2-3-2 is interesting, but we would do best not to stress over it.
