    PSA: If You Use A Lot of Bashes in a 1v1...

    Don't cry when your opponent pops revenge on you. I've been seeing a lot of players recently start raging in chat when their opponent pops revenge on them after they have been doing nothing but bashes into guaranteed damage for an easy time and it is just toxic. This primarily happens in Brawl but some also start crying in Dominion as well. Conq players are the main culprits as a great many of them limit their entire play to just 90% bashes (in a 1v1) and then act surprised and hurt when the opponent pulls revenge on them and knocks them on their butt.

    Here's the thing, those of you guys who do this; when you reduce your entire playstyle to just bashing for nice super safe guaranteed follow up damage in a 1v1 you not only feed the enemy revenge with both hands, you also deserve every bit of that guy popping revenging and mopping the floor with you via his new found hyper armour. If you want to avoid that happening to you try using the light and heavy attack buttons once in a while. And for the love of goodness don't cry that your opponent is refusing to just let you steam roll them in the cheesiest way possible. Prepare yourself for the revenge pop and learn to put some work in for your victories.

    Oh yes. If you give out cheese, expect to be cheesed too.

    Pretty much. One of the few times I ventured into elimination I had a centurion kick me, bash me, throw me down then instead of using the pin which would have given me space to try to get stamina back he delayed the heavy so he could charged heavy and punch me down again at which point revenge hit yet according to him 'there was no excuse for popping revenge 1v1'...um yes there was, it is called you giving me revenge gain through bashes.

    Apparently cheesing someone in a cutscene they can do nothing about is fine but defending myself isn't...if you're going to keep me stuck in a cutscene I will take advantage if it turns into a quicktime event.

    Well, just try to stand on some Conqs.

    Sometimes bash is your only chance to attack. When opponent know, that you have nothing special to do, he just wait for your attack and parry/counter. So, if you want to do something, you should use heavy feinted to bash.

    In all other cases I agreed. Sad, that revenge just not an answer to HL kick/guaranteed UB spam. He will kill you waaay faster, than you could get your revenge.
