I don't mind that I lost, Sexthriller could kick my ass 1v1 easily. However, Dread, according to the rules in the first post all those things you said don't count...do. It's not about them being a great duelist, but about saying "Ok, I don't want to go go that way X is there and will kill me because of Y."
So if I'm a hoplite, I won't kill you by myself. But pair me up with a meatshield and i'll make your life hell. When you see me not getting kills on battle, its not because I'm a bad player, it is because I accept myself as a support. If I have the option to box someone in for a greatmaul to splatter his brains on my shield I will. So don't just look at the post and say "Out of all these, X will kill them all in duels." Say, "If I these guys were on the other team, who would give me the most trouble?"
Congrats on Florida Win Sexthriller.
PS, I've heard you complain A LOT more about longspears / hoplites / pikemen than about 2h duelists Dread.
