I don't care at all. I make no secret of the fact I will leave any game for any reason I choose. One scrub huntard trying to communicate via emotes then shooting me as I'm walking away before he blows AGM and dies is not going to bother me. Getting outside and finding zero support as said hunter resses and tries to get me again, with some much needed help this time, while my team do nothing is a reason to leave, and I did.
I will stay for games I'm enjoying, win, lose, live die. I will leave any game I am in winning and in no danger of dying if I'm not enjoying it or if I just don't find my playstyle compatible with my team mates. I have no idea why some of the scrubs here are so obsessed with me. I had another thread earlier claiming the exact opposite. I must have stayed in a game after dying and they were wondering if I was trying to "improve my reputation" with, apparently, the random emo trash, that inhabit these forums. The answer then was no, I don't care, as it is now. I genuinely couldn't care less about what people think of my playing ingame. I have zero intention of joining AP and the "community" and I have no interest in any other aspect of AP.
I consider TI a place to exchange information about the game, and specifically F2P in this case, which is why I joined. I didn't even want anyone knowing my ingame characters, but someone guessed when I made a comment about being the only non hunter in a WSG match, and someone on TI must have been one of said hunters and guessed it was me. I haven't made that mistake, and won't make that mistake with any of my others.

IAT I thought as a TI Blogger you have to be.... hmm..... mature? Just shows that you're a kid IMHO. (I don't wanna start a flamewar but that's how I see it.) Now leave Aradiel alone you can have alot of good 1vs1s against him - and I also leave BGs when most people think It's a retarded reason, so? It's still my reason to leave. I had alot of 1vs1s against him which were pretty close and he didn't even blow all his cooldowns or left. I think he's a nice guy, skilled Paladin and LOL @IAT losing to a Paladin? I thought you are a good hunter.

Kale is a respectful player, unlike thrink, he doesn't qq about the game, and he states why he afks out. I dont understand why people hold a grudge against him because he afks out, its a play style, deal with is. And IAT, youre a ******* ti blogger, have some respect and shut the **** up. you shouldnt be making threads @ someone, let alone, you got embarrassed. Get off Kale and l2p, he understands the game, and you obviously don't. Maybe you should AFK out and do his play style, it might help you, but wait, your a hunter.

I actually learned about the negative reputation first, when people trash talked before BGs started, and thus had preconceptions. Now that I've actually played against Kale I think that he kinda deserves superstar status. Certainly plays much, much better than I do. Stars are expected to be eccentric.
Isn't the leaving thing his own private business? I like to stick it out most of the time, but if I really don't like my team, I just go read a book instead. And this has little to do with winning or losing, it's more the tone of communication or whether there's any communication at all.

Kale obviously doesn't like to lose, neither do I. The difference is he runs in fully buffed blows all his cooldowns and afks if it doesn't work out. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Kale. Every game I see Kale in I either say hi and freak out like a fanboy if I'm on his team or add a second objective to the game by making him realize how bad his team is possibly directly or indirectly resulting in him leaving the game. If I ever get a computer good enough to fraps and I make a f2p montage the credits will most likely be set to a loop of me dancing with kale in a bg if he ever stops taking the game so seriously and dances with me.
tl;dr - I like to think of almost killing Kale as like forcing him to realize that he doesn't want to be in the game anymore. Cheers.

I'm sure that Kale is a great pvp'er and has worked long and hard to earn his gear and accomplishments, but even he should know that /afk'ing from a BG to avoid dying is and has always been a dbag move. People were doing this in WG back in the day and were mocked for it then.
Just take your death and /afk at the graveyard. That would have added 15 seconds to the BG experience, which is far less than the time he has invested in defending himself against this video. Besides, what difference is it if there is one more bump on your death count?

You take things too seriously.
You didn't watch the video. You can't beat Kale with all his CDs up in a tunnel. With that said, I should have beaten him with the CDs that he DID pop in that particular instance. See below.
It was 3AM EST. Yeah, my huntering was terrible. I was too obsessed with blowing up Kale to pay attention to how terrible I was at not taking damage. I did not expect him to pop every CD only to leave the match (that's silly and illogical). I did blew up his AGM, however, through his Pally bubble, which is why I was blowing damage into his AGM. Don't forget I did get him to 32 HP. It was an AFKale attempt, not a true 1v1. I'd love to have a REAL 1v1 against Kale but that can't happen when he blows every CD known to man, stacks all pots, and then AFKs out. It's not a fair match, so I'm not going to start it fair. When he wants to stop being a baby and actually play like normal players he wouldn't get so much attention.
He was a respectful player until he started getting butthurt over this joke thread. I still respect him, albeit not as much. At least he sticks to his guns (or CD and AFK macros). This was a thread to poke some fun, not have a real flamewar against me or Kale. I should have stated that this isn't about anything but screwing around based on his constant AFKing. Kale might understand the game but he sure as hell doesn't understand logic; Popping CDs and waiting 15 minutes instead of sitting through a death or two for 5 minutes and queuing again. On that basis alone I know he AFKs purely because he doesn't want more deaths on his counter.
And what about my a hunter?
TL;DR Kale stuns people when he enters WSG, stacks pots, and AFKs out to avoid deaths after blowing CDs. He AFKS purely to avoid death, despite his illogical excuse about AFKing out of games he "doesn't like", because it's easier to wait 5 minutes than 15. Unless you're Kale.
Stay Deserted, Kale.

how can you say it's a joke thread when your being a ******* ****** because of someones smart play style. if he afks at the beginning of a match, it is much better than waiting 20 minutes of hell. and how is this not a flame with **** like, unless your kale, stay deserted kale, it shows how much you truley "respect" which apparently you do. he's not being a baby for a smart play style, he has 100k kills, he must be doing something right, right?
Also, you blame it on your "bad huntering" because you were to worried about blowing up kale, if you wanted to "blow up Kale" then maybe you would have kited, just throwing that out there.
And 1 more thing, if you think a true 1v1 is not using cds, then wtf is it? hunters are over powered, they should still kill a ret pally. maybe you should l2p and stop being a little ***** and getting butt hurt over something stupid.

He knew it was a premade. He knows it won't last more than 5 minutes.
Kiting him wouldn't have helped when every wasted GCD is a heal he can get off. Not going to argue that this wasn't the best way I could have taken the scenario but I know it wasn't that bad considering he popped his bubbles and tried healing to full multiple times. Kiting him won't help because I wanted him to die, not AFK out. Kiting him leads him to AFK out, but if I blow him up while he thinks he's doing fine (which ALMOST happened here, I got him to 32 HP), he's less likely to AFK out.
It wasn't a flame war, but Kale got mad and lashed out. Naturally I'm going to call him out at that point.
Pallies are as overpowered as Hunters in this bracket.

I don't know you bro, but this post is posted why...? What are you trying to prove here? I've played with Kale several times. He's a good player.

The only thing I was even mildly upset about, was being shot at while walking away. Less upset and more that I found it cheap. I did not know it was a premade since I got attacked as soon as I zoned in and then some random /bg chat then got attacked again from several directions by hunter spam as I exited the FR and attempted to regroup with my team.
Why didn't I LoS? I attempted to and got monkeyed. That's the part where I walk into a wall.
People would still complain if I left after I died. People will complain regardless. People are whiney little *******. I can either have them upset because I do what I do or because I attempt to pander to them. Have a guess which I have been doing and will continue doing.
I've been in multiple premades that last a hell of a lot longer than five minutes. Many of which farm. Many of said farmers claim not to farm.
I'm not upset. I take this as seriously as I take any other aspect of the game or my life generally, which is either not at all or too seriously depending on your perspective.
I was also slightly annoyed by IAT's lack of understanding between the difference between my use of the word bubble to mean HoP, which only affects physical attacks, and AGM.
Here's the thing, if I'm going to leave a game, and get 15+ mins off, then it is perfectly logical to use 15min CDs. Also, the start of the BG is a good time to use it, then you can use it a second time in the same BG.
Anyway, is there is any point to these threads? It's not a joke because it's not funny. In a true 1v1 you'd have no chance and I wouldn't need CDs.

also, kale, for your own good: stop telling people that you "don't care" about anything. if you didn't care about BGs, you wouldn't AFK out every time you die. there's obviously a reason why you're AFKing every time you die, and thus you clearly care about something. this is something that a 5 year old could deduce. i know that the people who play this game are, as a whole, really really stupid, but they're not that stupid. you're never going to convince anyone that you "don't care" what they think of you when you continue to AFK out following a specific pattern.

Also, Shift, I don't really dance, but I do remember an AB where I was heading from ST to LM seeing a druid that neither ran nor turned kitty, which I found odd, those are the two most common responses to encountering a druid, and you danced with me. I didn't attack and that was about it. I may have /waved or something similar. That's about as close to dancing as I get. If I'm riding the bear, we can do a tandem bear dance.
