It *is* outdated.

I would rather play many of the games you mentioned. But that's beside the point. Go ask most people in the discord, or here, and most of them will say it's not a great 2-player game. This question pops up all the time, and most responses say this. Myself included. I'm not saying it because I formed my opinion years ago and am stuck in it, I say it because I still believe it's not very good for 2 players.

How many times have you played Root at 2p using content from Marauders? Would you mind giving me a number, even if approximated?

I've played it about 2-3 times. But yes, I just got splendor duel for my wife for her birthday, we like that. We like 7 wonders duel, Radlands, among others. Even other big games, like Spirit Island, are better for 2-player without losing the core multi-interactive component. A strategy game with 2 is just very different from 4.

Honestly, I get you: you like it at 2 players. But even now, like a couple of weeks go, new players come in and ask, and most people say it's not that good at 2. You are entitled to you opinion, and I respect it, but by calling everyone else's opinions "outdated," you aren't respecting mine.
