No honor in For Honor | Forums

[Valtaya]

So much saltiness and the competitive ladder hasn't even been released yet. I have some very serious worries about this game.

While I'm not nearly as morally abrasive as the OP, I do agree with him that it is frustrating when people do not fight you fairly and choose to "play smart" (running away). I guess I'm just not the type of person who plays casual modes in videogames to "win at all costs" similar to how I never played ranked games solely for rating. It's about having fun to me and being cowardly, cheesy, dishonorable and toxic has never been much of an appeal.

There is a very distinctive difference in interest from one player to the next. While I don't get mad in this game when people jump me 1v2 while I'm fighting someone else, I also do not get angry at my teammates for doing the same. However, all these posters saying that people who do not fight with honor are actually skilled individuals is laughable at best. There is no intelligent play in fleeing and regrouping, that is simply survival instincts, there is a difference.

Intelligence, "playing smart" is outplaying your enemy either positionally, reactively or just outright mechanically. The whole "playing smart" bit only applies when you're actually fighting someone. It's funny to say "oh yeah I just ran away from that guy who clearly outplayed me, I'm smarter than him". It just sounds idiotic to be perfectly honest and a way for less experienced/skilled players to cope with their short-comings.

And also to those who are trying to rationalize that losing your fight, running away and "being smart" is better for your team. The reality is, people want players who can win their duels 1v1, even in a 4v4 setting. It means you are strong. The last thing I want on my team is some weakling but "smart player" who consistently is outplayed, low on health, running around trying to get buffs and revive people rather than play the game.

When competitive 4v4 or whatever format comes out, people aren't going to be looking for "smart players". Any single person with hands and eyes can identify when something is going wrong and simply run away if the time calls for it. There is virtually no intelligence needed to run from a fight and look to backstab someone else, lol.

That is a realy fancy way to say "noob".

That's a complete and utter lie. The AI I have fought have 100% of the time squared up and fought until death.

Depends, lvl0 do that, and lvl 1 like 50% of the time. But I have seen bots that do exactlay whas was said... they back off from the first fight to get buffs, or in the mid of a fight, or just to gank another player if you are not fast enough to stop... and usualy it only takes one hit to decide a fight.

On map that is viking village they run off almost immediately to gank someone thats i actually quite funny I was expecting bot charging me and what not and he just...sort of packed up and left. I was staring at it and laughing. And then i killed him but it was quite good laugh

I have witnessed AI immediately turn and run at the start of a round to gank.

So youre basically saying you're not trying to get better at the game ,if you don't try to 1v1 people better then you, youll stay trash forever and have to rely on those bs tactics to win.If you run youre garbage take your defeat like a man and try to win the fight.......coward lol

If you refine team tactics, then, you may not be good alone, but unstoppable as a team

You must not play a lot of AI games then, because I see this often when I'm playing with my friends. I'm yelling on the microphone, he's coming at you now I can't get to him, go defensive. I'm chasing him down.
