Duel Servers are Boring

[Raineh Daze]

There's really a limit on how many times I can put up with people who apparently never got the memo you don't have to accel every damn strike or be a crouching axe loon.

Bruh... people on Duel servers have to win EVERY fight using EVERY piece of cheese available.

How else will they grow their E-peen?

The whole point of a duel server is to prove you're better than other people. Its the ego wars.

Duel servers are taken very seriously in some cases since they're used for recruiting teams for tournaments hosted by the community and twitch,there have already been 3 or 4 which have had 1000+$ prize pools,and considering this game has only been out a couple months that's pretty interesting if it continues to grow as a competitive community

What annoys me with dual servers is the sheer amount of people that abuse animation glitching and/or spin spamming.

Like I don't mind getting beating by a better person provided they didn't win by been unreadable and abusing maximum amounts of cheese.

I entered a dual server couple of weeks back because I needed to work on calling out feints and foot working and the sheer amount of animation glitchers and etc in the server had me leaving the server after half an hour or so and I never bothered re-joining any dual server since.

Some weapons can be acceled so fast its basically a 50/50 if you should insta parry and die to the decel or wait 0.0001 of a second and die to the accel.

I understand that if I really, really wanted to I could specifically practice to not only read these nearly perfectly and do them but... why? Regardless of the outcome, I much prefer those fights on duel servers that are more about clever ripostes, chambering, and morphs than sheer unreadability.

Most brief solo fights in Frontline offer more to me than duels because people generally can't go all in on being incomprehensible due to situational awareness. Which is weird.

trust me i have milions of duels in chiv . this combat mechanic shines on battlefield not duels

duels become boring in mordhau just as in chiv

unless devs will bring some interesting duel mode [deadliest warrior duel mode was more fun but only one map lol] . teamobjective modes will be always first

You cant say that in general. I sunk 140 h in duel only and still have fun tryring new loadouts to see how they perform.
It only becomes boring if i spend doing nothing otherwise a day.
3h duels a day is relaxing.

Frontline on the other hand feels to random in the ways u can die. Its fun too but not as rewarding as duels in my opinion.

I only play on duel servers, I don't know what you mean.

Duel servers are the best servers and the only servers on the game that require actual skill to play. I don't personally enjoy playing regulars and getting ganged on by horses, soldiers and archers because I'm so good at the game that the only way to kill me is to send an entire army after me. And usually, my teammates don't have the awareness and brain power to realize this and capitalize on the opportunity. Hopefully more and more duel servers start to pop up.

6v6 skirmish is the best honestly

Situational awareness and tactical decision making are skills too. Skills you apparently lack.
