I do plenty of 1v1 and I win most of my matches. Sure, you can make mistakes. Live with them and fight like a man (or woman, if you're a woman). And you're correct, I stated that you can abuse the mechanics and it's all about preference. But it also shows a lot into a person's character. These are the same people in Injustice who will pick Deathstroke and spam his guns. Sure, you can win, but it's a pathetic way to win. And with the difference in character speeds, it doesn't make it balanced .Originally Posted by Furholden Go to original post
Never stated anything about running away when you're ganged up on.Originally Posted by l-Sir_Smite-l Go to original post
Honestly these responses surprise me. My bad for thinking there were people who shared this sentiment but obviously this community is filled with bad players who can only win in 2v1 situations. Like I said, it's your preference, but it's pathetic. Fight. Secure a win or take the loss like a champ. I think I'll start maining assassins to shut you cowards down. Nothing more satisfying than killing a fleeing bum with Shugoki, but I'll be guaranteed to catch you scrubs as someone else.
Fleeing has nothing to do with abuse of mechanics. It is simply fighting smart. Do you know how monotone this game would be if you're only allowed to duel to the death in every 4v4?Originally Posted by BlackbirdMPK Go to original post
You're absolutely right on it showing a lot into a person's character. It's easy to tell apart smart people from the stubborn ones.
Maybe I am stubborn about not playing like a coward, and I'm ok with that. If what is "smart" is running away to gang up than I'll simply have to work around that and play faster characters to destroy anyone trying to be "smart." Let's see how "smart' it is when you jet from a Berserker only to get killed because you're not able to block since you're fleeing. It's gonna be awesome.Originally Posted by Furholden Go to original post
And I don't recall ever stating anything about you stating something about running away when ganged up on.Originally Posted by BlackbirdMPK Go to original post
You assume that everyone who employs this tactic have a difficult time fighting 1v1. There are plenty of good duelists out there who have the cunning to escape from a match and revive their team and take advantage of their superior number. It's not about whether or not you can take your opponent on. It's about winning for your team. You make generalizations that these people are cowards and scrubs while not realizing your own condescending elitism. I would rather secure that win than take a loss "like a champ." A champ won't have to worry about losing anyway. And a loss won't help my win orders.
Then why bring it up in the first place if you never said anything about me saying it, which, you did, when you brought it up, since I didn't.Originally Posted by l-Sir_Smite-l Go to original post
I don't "assume" anything, actually. Every single person (yes, every single one) who I have encountered that runs away, is terrible in a duel. Either because I'm kicking their butts and they run, or they run, I catch them, and destroy them in 5 seconds. It's not a generalization, it's accurate analysis. Btw, running doesn't always secure a win if you're garbage anyway. I've had people run from me, gang up when they run into a teammate, and I still destroy them both. usually because the fleeing scrub has low health and is easy to kill, and my auto block only gives me revenge to kill the second person. It's not an issue I have as far as affecting whether or not I win, it's simply annoying and sad.
Try not to assume anyone who is on the run will get rekt by a pursuer. I play Lawbringer and i can get away all the time. You simply just have to keep an eye out for attacks coming from the back, tap ALT and parry it into a counter. Or you could camp a cliff.Originally Posted by BlackbirdMPK Go to original post
Your generalizations on running tactics shows how shallow of an understanding of the game you have, much less tell everyone else how to play it.
Lol until i find someone good enough to even do that, I'll state that it's them who don't know how to play this game. And it's sad that you run so much you actually have countering fleeing down to a science. Shows a lot about what kind of player you are. "camp a cliff." Lol. We have campers now in For Honor. Jeez you guys are bums lmao.Originally Posted by Furholden Go to original post
I'm pretty sure you must be really proud of yourself calling other people names like "coward", "scrub" or "bums" just because we play differently from you.Originally Posted by BlackbirdMPK Go to original post
It's almost like me calling you "stupid" for not knowing how to flee. But well i won't.
