Is it fair that a speeder can ruin a win just because they can run and hide?

I just had a game where a speeder at literally 25 HP turned a game from a win for our team, with me at over half HP, to a draw simply because they could run and play hide and I could never catch them and there wasn't enough time fully capture to 100%. And that was nowhere near the first time that happened, it's happened so many times I've honestly lost count. If there are only two people left, ANY amount of capture percent should count for a win. Screw these little cowards constantly doing this crap.

 

Of course it is fair. You don't lose the game either.

 

Hey, in the old times, a speeder could get a draw even if there were 5 enemies left. If you didn’t kill them all or capture, it was a draw. A speeder running away from a 1vs1 and taking a draw is fair.

 

????

 

It's completely fair. If you want to minimize the times these situations happen, use more snipers and mines, or play speeder(enforcer works too) yourself.

 

If you can't beat them, join them?
but I agree that it's legit tactic, it may be frustrating but it's legit

 

Lol the funny bit is when the fixer runs away from a 1vs1 and makes it a draw. If I judged that an emey was too hard, i would run away with my fixer. On the other hand thats barely ever unless its a shooter with 5 cannons or a defender with like 60 defense

 

If your team was so overmatched that the defender is still at 12k health, matchmaking already screwed you over anyways.

 

Not to mention if there's at least 100 seconds left you can force him to come to you by sitting in capture. No need for that hide and seek stuff, the capture point exists for a reason.

 

That just means your team is retarded. 3 people on the capture point means you capture 3 times faster. Get your asses to the capture point and stop chasing the stupid little yellow coward.

Except if it was a drawn out match you don't have that 100 seconds free. Plus, if you're a defender or shooter it can take quite a while to GET to the capture point in the first place if the battle drifted across the map.

 

Both strong points. Yeah, you can't always turn to the capture strat, but too many times have I seen the opportunity missed to ignore it.

 

It's legit, it's smart and it's totally fair play.

 

I’ve only done it a handful of times, and it was never a case of “oh! I’m last in a 1v1, I’ll just run away”.

The more likely scenario is I’m left in a 2 vs 1 or even 3 vs 1, and I need to kill two ships before I can run away for the draw.

If you’re outnumbered and you’re able to fight it down to a 1v1 and escape, then you totally earned that draw.

 

I don't think it's fair. This is Battle Bay, not a Hiding Bay.
What's a point of Capture? To make sure there's no one hiding and everyone fights.
Capture is currently broken when there's little time left. (Maybe capture speed should progressively speed up as time diminishes, so there's always a chance to capture)
Hiding tactic is discouraged, that's why Capture was introduced. (Would be nice if developer could comment on this and clear it up for everyone.)

 

Blame yourself and your teammates for not being able to finish off the speeder earlier before he turned into a little coward
