Guild Wars 2

Engineer is what I play most in PvP.

If we’re dueling, it’s because I want to duel you. If I want to duel you, it’s because I’m expecting you to be a challenge for me to overcome. Naturally, the whole point is to improve on your own play and learn. Personally, I don’t think it’s wise to become dependent on any one skill. Regardless if it’s a 1v1 or not, if the only success you have is because of supply crate, you are dependent on it for success. If we’re dueling, no, I’m not going to use supply crate. Not until I’ve had several attempts to utilize the entirety of my skill bar to adapt and ultimately defeat you. Against some players/builds you’re going to lose every time unless you do use your crate. So there’s that to keep in mind.

All of that however only applies in practice. At least to me. It doesn’t matter how “Dishonorable” your opponent finds your usage of supply crate in a real match. The only thing that matters at the end of it is the scoreboard. If using my supply crate will help me win, then I’m using it.

The game doesn’t have to balance around 1v1’s specifically. It’s up to the player to use the tools they have.
