However: warrior/paladin is countered by any warlock and perhaps even mage team. You say we're the most overpowered because your team composition can't beat them. This is rock/paper/scissors.
Any warlock? LOL

OK I'm not that good, and haven't played much recently in 2v2. But I have two people I play with on my team.

A mage (arcane/fire) and a Paladin (healadin). Against warrior / paladin I have almost 0 chance at all with the mage as a partner. Warrior does too much damage, is far too hard to CC or kite. Succubus is the only help on the warrior if he is any good, but is almost useless on the pally. Can't kill the paladin first easily, he bubbles. UA is not much help, tongues is ok.

Slim chance to seduce or spell lock the paladin and burst the warrior. Good ones live long enough for the paladin to get free and get a heal off (and a HoJ on one of us) and by then one of us is probably dead with the relentless dps from a good warrior. Good ones also have sacrifice or freedom on the warrior depending (so seduce or sheep is ineffective).

Now, with a paladin partner, I can beat this group most of the time. We have a stun and a spell lock which timed properly will cause problems. I no longer care that much about the warrior smacking me since I get lots of heals, and focus on dots + slowing down healing on the warrior. I can live long enough to force the paladin to bubble with dots + tongues + pet harassment, and once that passes I can blow everything else to disrupt them and melt them.

With the paladin partner, no groups seem terribly easy or hard unless they far outgear us or just suck. With the mage partner we either win with both of us at 80% health or get wasted.
