If you did run to town, you might as well duel in softcore. You lost the duel, but you didn't die. This is what happens in SC. In HC, if you lose you are supposed to die. This is the risk that you claim to be so proud of, however you aren't doing what you preach. You might as well use chicken hack, you have no intention of dying if you lose anyway. You only want to have a "chance" of dying. Just luck basically. That lucky 1-2 hit KO due to incredibly lucky max damage/deadly/crit strikes.
Also, this severely limits the number of viable builds to the insta-kill builds. I've had 10 minute long NvN duels and some matchs were decided by as little as 20 hp. Easily some of the best matches I've had. Now, that would not happen in HC since the second someone sees just a sliver of life left they should by your example run to town and just say gg. Heck, all OW/Psn based builds are probably near non-existant on HC if they hope to get an ear.
If you are given the choice, you already showed that you'd prefer to live to fight another day despite the fact that you technically "lost." So why not play SC where that is the case everytime. You clearly dread the fact of dying and have shown you aren't going to be "stupid" and die when you've lost.
I know that if I was that psn necro, I'd feel cheated of my victory if I didn't get that ear. And that's exactly what you are doing.
End of quote.
So does this sound as stupid to u guys as it did me? He is thinking like a sc dueler and applying it to hc duels as if it where the same thing.
