To know when to leave a kitten fight… Seriously, noone I don’t care how good you are or how good you think you are, is going to win a 1v3 or a 1v4, or even last long enough for that outmanned fight to mean jack all.

Earlier today I had a ranger rage at me for bailing on the mid fight at foefire and full capping their home point, then taking a portal back mid and decapping it when the other team sent all of their players to deal with me.

I left the mid fight because

  • We had 2 people that pushed far at the start and failed
  • We had 3 people successfully defend a home point push from the opposing team (we didn’t kill any of them just pushed them off node.)
  • Once we got to mid the 3 people that wiped our team far, and the two people that pushed our home were mid.
  • One of them went lich, so I dropped a port mass invised and full capped far, bam we had a two cap in our favor.

Naturally the other two people that were in the mid fight stayed there, died and then raged at me for leaving the mid fight.

Seriously people it is OKAY to run from a fight the time it takes to reset combat/escape a fight or rotate to another node is much shorter than downed/bleed+respawn.

Depends on what node the 1v3 occurs on. You can troll waterfall and henge on a few classes for a length of time that your team should be able to win a fight elsewhere.

I have legitimately won a couple 1v3s. Don’t ask how. I still don’t understand. That should never happen no matter what the other people are running. I have seen Ostrich Eggs do it on his stream a few times.

But, yeah, a lot of players don’t understand on knowing when they should disengage a fight.

I can understand doing it on a node that you own in order to just try and keep it contested a little longer. But a 5v3 with a lich in play, your downed state contestion of the node will mean jack all with how fast you will die after.
