I think what might help (maybe, just my opinion) is getting rid of revives in elimination. As it stands it isn't "elimination," it's "chase a guy around the map while he gets powerups and revives his buddies back up to gang bang you each round." I think it would be truer to the title of "elimination" if once you were downed you were actually eliminated.

Agree with that. As I said elsewhere when someone said without the pickups / boosts that it would just be Brawl but with 4 more guys, it is just Brawl but with 4 more guys. Nothing elimination about it. Might as well rename it to 'Revival' at the moment.

You guys do realize you can't revive people who have been Axe-cuted, right?

This is true but as the game stands people are not being executed and revivable corpses litter the battlefield. Whatever the % of kills ending in executions is, it's a low one.
I doubt I am having a very different gameplay experience from everyone else, in my experience people are revivable 10 x more often than they are not.
A large number of the 'elimination' games you will find yourself in are just revival races.

Do you really expect any honor from this generation of gamers? Always assume that the enemy will not play fair. Always assume that they will kick you into the water, off the bridge. Always assume that they will stab you in the back when you think you're winning. Especially on round 5 of a 2-2 game.

Your team is to blame for not executing their opponent. Most players probably want to finish off the enemy as quick as possible and choose to just do fast swings instead of heavy finishes. Then run off to gank on an enemy not realizing that someone might revive the person they just dropped.

I hate people like you. This slimy, informal, and overall uncouth attitude. Utterly shameful.

I completely agree with XORaptor0 - I will do whatever it takes to win but in return, I expect my opponents to treat me the same way, throw me off ledge, gank me, whatever, I would do the same so I accept if it happens to me.
I just make little exceptions here and there, if my duel opponent greets me at the start, says gl & hf or uses emote, I refrain from throwing off a ledge.

You raise a good point which stands as a good example for my idea of playing. I always assume the other guy is not to be trusted or taken lightly anyhow, but if I get the impression of him being the opposite, that's the time I want to have a decent fight.

sad truth is anything more than 2v2 is a gankfest

elimination is actually the worst of them all, since people RUN to cheese the 1-2s 100% revives (dumb nerf it) or to pick up buffs (and you can't stop them doing so)

it's a game of whoever can cheese the other team more really

good players are in 1v1 or 2v2 anyway

To be honest, whenever i play a 4v4 mode (Elimination for example)) i go in with the Mindset to win (scold me for that if you will). I do feel a bit sorry if i ruin ones Day (well... match/round really) if i gang up un then, but thats what Elimination is about. And with the Pickups, it feels like you don't get to have as fair or honorable fight as you get in Duel or Brawl modes.

In Brawl and Duel however, i always try to fight Honorably (not throwing People off of Cliffs, not going in 2v1). However, if the enemies begin to gang up on me and/or try to throw me off ledges, i simply go "Ok, lets have it your way then." the next round.

Yes, but the problem is, when you're in the middle of a fight, trying to get your opponent down and out so that you can either help your teammates or avoid being ganked, its not as easy as "making sure you get the execution." Making sure the last swing is a landed heavy attack can be hard to do, especially against a nimble opponent, and isn't always a viable option in the heat of a fight.
