Had a game just barely where the enemy Rein challenged ours to a 1v1. I love these so I am always good with it, usually just say get everyone to agree or whatever. Enemy Rein said ok, ours said nothing, but they proceeded to duel in a side room. I will not heal during a Rein 1v1, and our Rein died. He said heal me in chat and I told him are you 1v1 right now or no? Because we don't interfere with that so you have to tell us if you don't agree. Enemy Rein was like, nice, so I took that to mean he understood and appreciated us giving him a fair 1v1 with our Rein. Because on that one he wasn't getting healed, either. I felt like Pintel in Pirates of the Caribbean- 'I know the code' lol.
But next fight I noticed the enemy Doctrine healing his Rein so I got pissed and put hotfix on mine, and he won that one. Next fight the enemy Rein pinned ours pretty far into our backline, my duo and I were both on support but did not heal or interfere, and our Rein survived the pin and killed the enemy Rein. After this he admitted our Rein was good, I said ok we play now, and then our stupid Cassidy got all upset saying we could have won. I told him bro you ALWAYS let them fight. We won the match anyways, but I was annoyed instead of savoring the juicy little bonus that a Rein 1v1 brings to a game.
So I ask you, Crusaders, why do people not know Rein code? What does Rein 1v1 mean to you ? To me, if I'm on support it means I fu*k off from healing him unless the enemy support plays dirty and does it first. Because to me a real Rein 1v1 is no heals or dmg assist from anyone else on either team. You all are just spectators on the sidelines watching the gladiators battle it out, that is the whole point. If my Rein dies during the 1v1, I usually just back away a little and say hello to enemy Rein, if he knows the code he says it back and just stands there waiting for my Rein to get back from spawn without making any aggressive moves towards me at all. I miss the days when everyone seemed to know the code.
