Okay so it's a game called For Honor right? Unfortunately there are tons of people who play this game with absolutely none. I've just finished 4 matches in a row against teams of people who ran from every 1v1 until they found a teammate. What's worse? They're letting the teammates fight for them and using a heavy attack to steal the kill on top of being cowardly. Yeah I know revenge mode is there to even out these kinds of fights, however with the peacekeeper off radar and orochi able to dashing r2 from out of minimap distance you can't do anything to stop this. I'm not going to cry for character nerfs or anything, I just think this game would be better off with a player rating system like GTA5. Basically, instead of reporting players for cheating and trying to get them banned, you uprate or downrate their honor level. Too many downrates in a short amount of time puts you in a lobby with other honorless players. I'm not only suggesting this because of gankers and kill thieves. There's TONS of grief to be found in this game and nothing to do about it besides dealing with it or quitting. I've seen raiders and warlords not swing their weapons and go 10-0 because they abuse the tackle kills and it's worse if they're partied up. I've had teammates kick me off ladders and not revive me. Actually I've had plenty of teammates who don't revive, run from fair fights, and will not attempt to stop executions.
My point is, this game is awesome, the combat system is crazy fun, but it's also easily exploitable. Rather than freak out and demand "balance" I'm suggesting a way to separate the griefers and bad teammates. The way I see it is, if you're comfortable playing this game selfishly and not for fun, you should be in a lobby with other like minded people.

Alright it's been two weeks with no feedback and the problems have gotten worse.
Since last night I have been almost exclusively getting thrown into matches with idlers. The same 2 or 3 idlers every single time. It's taking me upwards of 20 mins to find a good match.
When I finally get a match, you stick me with horrible teammates who triple ping orders constantly even though they have no idea what they're talking about.
Everyone demands a rez even if their corpse has a trap on it and 3 enemies surrounding. If I die though, even next to a teammate, they leave me there.
Report griefing/ cheating just seems like something you added to the game for salty players peace of mind. I've reported these idlers and team griefers every match I see them. Nothing happens.
I still think this game needs a system to separate the different types of players. I'm tired of running into selfish players and people who think this game is " environmental kill simulator 2017". I've seen tons of complaints about the community from people having the same issues as me.
If you put in a system where players can only downvote a specific gamertag once per day, or have a limited number of downvotes to hand out, it wouldn't be horribly abuseable. I'm not sure what the required number of downvotes to get put in the bad players lobby should be, but 3-5 in an hour should be enough. Also once you're in the bad lobby you shouldn't be able to up or down vote anyone or they'd just up vote each other until they get out.
Please give this SOME consideration, there are people who picked up this game after years of waiting and watching, and now we're stuck with the normies who parents buy them whatever new game comes out. I'm praying that by next month most of these people have realized the game isn't for them and sell it. Until then...

Also, to deal with idlers, you should have whoever deals with grief reports (nobody?) review their win/loss/games played ratio and when you see a 2% win with over 1000 matches played rep 5 108 gear score, nerf their character back to level zero, take away all their steel and gear, and give them half exp gain for two or three days. If you're worried about doing this to the wrong players, just back up character data before you hand out resets and allow players to appeal their punishment.

I hope you will find out this game isn't for you.
1. You speak of honor, yet you belittle those that do not follow your code. That is not honourable. Dont use word honor only when it suits your needs.
2. Fight were never honourable so if you want this go play duels, or go play Dark Souls, i heard there are people that like to follow some stupid guidelines.
3. Running is tactic. If you can't incorporate tactics in your fight then you suck.
4. Environmental kills are way of punish you for terrible position and being unable to counter CGB.
So yea...bye and have a great time.

Oh look another "git gud" post addressing only part of my issues with this community.
I never said anyone had to follow my playstyle, I'm saying we should all be able to play with like minded people. Anyway the first post in this thread was from the beta when I was horrible at 1v2+ so most of that I don't have an issue with anymore, but yeah thanks for your helpful feedback. Did you come to contribute or just to defend (what I'm guessing is) your cowardly playstyle? I'm really surprised you took a break from spamming zephyr slash to reply to a thread.

I feel like you're all just gonna deliberately miss my point. PLAY HOW YOU WANT, UNDERSTAND THAT NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO PLAY LIKE YOU, TRY TO GRASP THE CONCEPT OF WHY SEPARATING PLAYERSTYLES COULD IMPROVE THIS COMMUNITY
Tired of rage quitters? Well that wouldn't happen as much if players were able to group up by playstyle. Tired of no rez teammates? Same thing. And if you're all about enviro kills then you'll end up in a match with other enviro killers and you'll probably all have a ton o fun together.
But no I'm a horrible crybaby cause I want to fight people instead of just going for the "square, square" instant death combo. Okay.
