    I get wanting to secure a kill, but chasing someone across the map???

    I just watched some scrub on the other team be SO DESPERATE for a kill that he chased my buddy for literally 4mins 39secs


    We timed it because we found it positively hilarious. My buddy got slammed by an Orochi and a Warden while he was executing their teammate. So he did the smart thing and GTFO and the Warden chased him all over the place.


    I have not laughed that hard since I bought this game lol




    How desperate do you have to be for kills for that?

    I play that game sometimes, how long will the orange dot stay behind me on the mini map. It's like a seperate little mini-game

    Doesn't surprise me though, I once had a Rogue chase my Mage all over Warsong Gulch in WoW, every time he nearly caught me I would freeze him, use the /lol emote to laugh at him and then blink away, then repeat when he nearly caught me again. Lasted for about 6 minutes, he still hadn't caught me when the game ended, lol.

    You got 4 people fighting 2 people, the power ration is 2 to 1. When 1 person chases off another person for an extended period of time, the fight becomes 3 people on 1 -- the power ratio is now enlarged to 3 to 1. If a scrubby, low skill player can draw away a skilled player on a chase, then the odds are that's good for the team, since your team loses a scrubby player doing nothing but running, whereas the enemy team loses a good player doing nothing.

    In the end its about what works. If it works, then doesn't matter how silly it looks.
    Well put.
    I know often times I'll throw myself at into a zone occupied by 2 sometimes 3 enemies as a way to distract them while teammates capture mid. I suppose this is similar in concept.

    Beating on a guy and he takes off and runs. I just sit and picture a tail between his legs. I even make the dog whining noises for him.

    That breath on the back of your neck as you go chasing shadows? That's the stealthy peacekeeper before her knife plunges into your heart

    Uh, Vikings ran from fights all the time. A lot of times they'd take one look at the battlefield and opposing army and if they had any doubts they'd just leave and look for easier targets like undefended villages.

    Back on topic: No running in duels, but dominion is war. If I'm outnumbered I will absolutely run. Play the objective, win the battle. More important than my ego.
