Running in Toribash
No, I'm not talking about literally running in a spar or something of the sort. I'm talking about the act of moving away from your opponent in a multiplayer match usually when you are leading in points. "Running" away from your opponent.
This tactic, just like every other tactic, can definitely be rendered useless by playing smart (making sure you get the first hit, or playing aggressive from the start of the match just to name a few counters) so why exactly is it so hated upon?
I feel as if people hate mainly on techniques that are effective just because they are afraid of exerting the effort required to beat them. So instead of putting any effort in, they call those techniques "noob" and ragequit in order to make themselves feel better about the seemingly 'unfair' match and also in hopes that people will stop using them. This is just my opinion. Feel free to disagree with it if you want.
I'm just curious but what do you think is behind all of this hate towards "running"?
