Brawl matches like two 1vs1 fights? Why? | Forums

[K1ngFlippyN1ps]

I used to HATE when someone came and started attacking me during a 2v2 brawl. But that was because I sucked at that time and was still learning a lot and had some demented notion that others would abide by "honor" rules and let me duel one on one.
I played a match a few nights ago against a Valk and a Shugoki team. We lobby'd up Twice and both times after a first round defeat, started double teaming me after my teammate was dead. Shugoki at first showed the honor and then tried to interrupt my fight but payed for it with his life...TWICE! I can honestly say that was one of the FUNNEST matches I have had because it was the clutchest win I have pulled off. Beat two people with 1 bar of health left! The exhilaration I felt from facing down two people desperately wanting me dead was insane! Heart was racing, mind was focused, every movement made was calculated... and when you pull off the Win, it's feels like your on top of the world lol. So yea, now when that happens there is less salty rage and I say Bring it on muh****ahs!!

It makes no sense, even what they think of as honourable makes no sense in a Brawl setting.

If honour includes abandoning your friend in his hour of need and watching as he gets his head cut off, I'll stick to being dishonourable.

In other words,you believe your friend is incompetent or lacks the skill to fight his own fights.Your not their mother.

Back on topic,the reason is because people play differently.Hell,medieval themed movies & TV shows reflect this behavior.Also,there is literally historic cultures that reflect this behavior.When muskets were used,armies actually took turn shooting each other in battles.So if you can't wrap your head around it being a thing then you don't experience enough people with differing views.Most people,that don't understand are relfecting how morality works in modern day and not how it was in different time periods.

Man... have you ever been in a brawl? I mean real brawl, with use of fists, elbows, knees and legs. I guess not. It's not thinking your matey is incompetent - all that matters is beating the shizzit out of ya enemy.

And well.... those who don't respect other's views are guys calling you with female genitalia names, or claiming to sleep with your mother when you kill them. But that's just my opinion

Hello everyone!

I'm one of those few guys who really like the combat modes 4vs4, 2vs2 and 1vs1. However, most of my experiences in 2vs2 are getting quite disappointing nowadays. When I play a brawl match i play it like it's designed - 2vs2 combat fighting till the death. That means whenever I win my fight, I rush to my teammate to help him. We are a team, and we are to win and survive at all cost.

However, most people seem to think that a brawl match is supposed to be fought like two separate 1vs1 fights. Usually that means that whenever I join in on my teammates fight I get called bad things and quite often someone has intercourse with my mom. Also I've experienced that my teammate just feeds me to the two enemies and refuse to fight before I'm dead. Because of these reaction I usually state, already in the loading screen, that I do not intend to play the match with that honor nonsense, but that I play it like a brawl game. It rarely has any effect whatsoever.

So my question here is. Why do people join a brawl fight if what they really want is to play duels? Ubisoft has been kind enough to design a game mode specifically for that, so I see no reason to "invade" the 2vs2 matches with a 1vs1 attitude. I want my chaotic and fierce 2vs2 combat back!

You should get a partner with the same mindset. Clearly let the other team know the loading screen that you are doing a true 2v2 brawl and just go at them.

That's what I see the streamers doing when they want to brawl. Tournaments are true brawls which is fun to watch.

That being said, I like the 2x 1v1s in the brawls because it gives you a variety of characters people play. You don't end up fighting the same class for 3 or 4 matches in a row and the meta tends to be a little less defensive the true 1V1s. I like that eliminations are 4x 1v1s that eventually turn into ganks. Very much encourages aggressive play so you don't get ganked.

If someone states it's going to be an all out brawl before the match though, I would be all about it because, at least, everyone knows the perceived ruleset going into the match.

I used to love when people would come and try to gank me until they fixed revenge :P Instant revenge and ownage was what dreams are made of :P

I've been in fights since I could read.Also,if they were to reflect a real brawl we wouldn't be using swords,shields,& ect.You wouldn't be spawned away from your team-mate/friend.Also,if your jumped it is by all formats looked down upon.Hell,next thing you'll say is that a sucker punch & running away reflects winning a fight.It doesn't.
You think people on your side of the argument,don't do that as well.That's video games for you.Get over it.

Not at all. I believe he is my friend, nothing more, nothing less, that is why we entered the fight together, as a team, on the same side, with the same goal, to emerge as the winning TEAM.

To not help him is betraying your ally. I did not enter the Brawl saying 'You're on your own pal, hope you are good' (selfish, ego-driven, solo mindset) I entered thinking 'we are in this together my friend' (not selfish, team orientated mindset).

Twist it all you like, if you went in with a friend and care more about bowing and scraping to your enemy than you do your friend, you're not what I call an honourable person.

Speaking to the muskets comment. You can't discredit the fact a select few commanders realized that trading shots was the worst way to win against a superior force. Those people you speak of with differing views are just the kind of people who would break the common mold to secure a victory at any cost.

And while this is just a game and only simulated battle one thing remains true. Those who prepare for anything their opponent may throw at them will always fair better than those who don't. Morality is one thing like killing non-combatants but when you're tasked to win against an equally armed enemy he line starts to blur greatly.

you can just say at the loading screen "can we play dirty?"

There, problem solved, for some reason we are humans, you can talk to them.

I wait for the other team to decide how it's gonna be. If they 2v1 us, then it's on. Otherwise it's 2 1v1 fights. Don't like being called names for playing like a ******, don't read chat I guess.
