    Kind of like it is in most games where teams are involved. The more skilled players, capable of coordinating attacks will fair far better.

    Such a strange concept.
    If you are saying 4 man takes any skill in it's current design you have no idea what skill is.

    My dominion tourny team occasionally groups in random que and it's just a waste of time. Stomping noobs to get 25kills 0deaths isn't skill its a broken game mode with broken matchmaking. Any half assed group can farm noobs infinitely.

    If they added ranked it would help but that isn't happening anytime soon

    What I do is be completely dishonourable and betray my ally, so that then I can be honourable ...

    You see no problem with this at all do you? I swear some of you 'honour' people are completely messed up in the head.

    You'll do the most heinous things that require a complete lack of morals and ethics, at least in a gameplay sense, applied to the scenario you are in - entering a fight with a companion as a team of two to fight an enemy team of two - so that you may then politely bow and play nice with your mortal enemy over the dead body of the friend you abandoned.

    It's like murdering all of the players on your team in a football match because you don't think your team is playing fairly and you want the other team to like you. The fact that you're actually a homicial maniac is not important, of course!

    I refuse to gank. It's honorless. Gankers can't force me to play a game a way I dont want to play. If my teammate wants to live by the gank, I let him die by the gank. If the enemy ganks, I quit and find an honorable match with skill.

    Like I said before....you wont get this choice in ranked mode if you choose to participate. And youd be 100x more dishonorable if you quit a Ranked match because someone was trying to win competitively.

    Where in your mind is it more honorable to quit the game then to play it?

    You're not seeing the problem, but there's some kind of mental stumbling block that you 'honour at all costs' people can't seem to get past.

    I can't understand how you can behave in such a dishonourable way one second, and then still consider yourself honourable the next. You enter a team arena with a companion and then throw said companion to the wolves and watch him die, happily, in order to remain honourable, when what you have just done is such a dishonourable thing that by any normal definition you are absolutely not honourable.

    So you let your ally die if he tries to help, then if you get ganged up on in a 2v2 you quit? But somehow you are an "honorable" player?

    No, just no. Stop now. I get that everyone has their own playstyle but the fact that you admitidly will leave matches not in your favor invalidates anything you say.

It is a very selfish thing to expect people who want a team fight, knowing that if they had wanted a 1v1 they would have gone to duel, to play by your imaginary made up honour code.
    That's what they said to me in elimination, so I went to brawl, now we're being told to go to duel? Duel is boring, fighting the same person/play-style for upwards to 5 rounds, that's why I personally enjoy Brawl, you can switch between two different opponents each round.

    Your logic is so skewed...

    If ganking is dishonorable, so is quitting a match just because the enemy is not playing how you want them to. So you are absolutely no better than the gankers.

    You say "there is no penalty for quitting so theres no reason not to do it.." So why can't someone say "there is no penalty for ganking so there is no reason not to do it." Both have no penalty, both can be considered "dishonorable", and both share your skewed logic.

    So can I quit a dominion match just because the enemy team captured a zone before killing my entire team? Because if they had honor they would kill all of us before laying claim to a point so I should quit because they are being dishonorable?.... NO! They are playing a game how they want to play the game. They aren't exploiting, cheating, or glitching... They are just playing, incidentally, not playing the way you want everyone to play..

    You know this is like complaining you've been told to go to 10 vs 10 Team Deathmatch in Battlefield 1 when you don't like the fact that it's not 10 vs 10 in 32 man Conquest and you don't like having to capture zones, you just want to shoot people ...

    You're in the wrong mode!

    What is wrong with these people ....

    Honorable conduct is about holding the spirit of competition and skill not the mindless obsession with winning at any cost
