I was playing a 2v2 brawl.
I managed to piss-off the opposing team and my teammate with my refusal to “play honorable”, so my teammate sat back, let the other guys trash me, and would join them in a dance party over my corpse at the end of every round. Ultimately, we lost.
Please keep in mind: I made this post exclusively because my teammate can punish me if I decide not to play honorable. I only mention they're insults to clarify the fact that they meant to sandbag me.
What exactly should I do in a situation like this?

Thats griefing. And it is reportable. Brawl is a brawl is a brawl is a brawl. Inherant in the name you should all be switching targets and working as a a 2 man team. The concept some people have of honor being "let my friend get decapitated" is freaking stupid. if you want to 1v1 play duel. its simple as freaking that.

It's a little disingenuous to join a 2v2 claiming you'll participate, then not participate because you find it offensive that your teammate doesn't follow the same house-rules as you do. It’s even worse when you’re knowledgeable of the impact your actions may have on your teammate. I don't even care when people play "honorable", I do care however when it impacts me or others negatively.
Playing "honorable" only works when:
A. Everyone in the room agrees to play honorable.
or B. The player(s) who play(s) honorable understands and accepts when another player doesn't want to play honorable.
The official rules put together by Ubisofts devs trump those declaired by Wesley Yin-Poole, a deputy editor of Eurogamer.

I never said I was forcing anything. Players who follow "The unspoken rules of For Honor" automatically have the lower end of the stick because they chose to eliminate many in-game mechanics from their playstyle. That's why playing the game with all mechanics normally comes first.
It’s hardly an empty report if I’m threatened with loss for refusing to play their way. It’s a shady and unfair tactic which can be done by members from both sides of the honor argument.

I'm not even gonna make the joke about ganking being for cowards because half of the people here will get triggered. Yes, I think ganking is cheap. Yes, I know people play cheap heroes. But it's not really the ganking that bothers me, but the people doing it. If you gank me and you beat me by simply spamming bashes and running away from revenge and then you say ''lol ez'' then yes, I will hate you deeply. If you gank using actual moves that are counterable when I'm looking with my peripheral, then it's not as bad
Still the worst crime you can commit in this game is playing Raider/Hitokiri and flaming other people
