what about helms deep as a venue? mtt is one of the best venues for melee duels: not too large so it doesnt favour one particular strategy like osgiliath where people who play defensively or have superior bomb/axe accuracy tend to do best. only negative thing about mtt is that with scout duels it's quite easy to see enemy scout even when he/she is cloaked. same happens on maps like rivendell and osgiliath nice videos may

Sorry for the boring matches Mai Mai, i blame the nub pc controller i had to use for 3/4 of the olympics. Dont worry. Every scout match is boring You're partially right. Every match where both players use the "KOTT" style of scout (aerials, bombs, and backstabs) is boring indeed; that style of play belongs most naturally in 8v8 games. Do not mistake this for melee puritan taquito's (which I assure you I am not; I do not hold back on backstabs in the least in normal games) opinion. It's clear as day. The vid of Angelus vs Merlin shows this. We all know them to be two of the very best 8v8 scouts in the game's history, and not without reason: they possess almost unrivalled conn "game knowledge", tactfulness, and skill. But in 8v8, so much more is happening that one's work in scoring a kill is considerably less. Extended combos simply aren't used. So what makes scout duels fun you ask? Easy (and this is the cruncher): the art of interception/anticipation. Notice how in Ang's and Merl's duel the combos are few and far between. Most engagements start with a bomb(/10 seconds) and soon end every time (I noticed) a roll is used, as they strike where the other is (was) and not where they will be. Contrast that with Sectorjam and Rampage's duel. Sectorjam routinely puts prolonged pressure on his opponents because he has mastered the art of interception. See how he's so often behind his opponents - unwittingly falling into his gentle arms? One would be nearer the mark to say he's (one step) "ahead" of his opponents. This lets him engage in frequent and unorthodox ways and frees up the bomb for unexpected occasions mid-combo, to devastating effect. And this my friends, is how scout 1 v 1 is meant to be played. Sadly, scout duels get a bad rep because only a very few people (myself proudly included, though to a far lesser degree of professionalism hehe) play this way.

It's just the backstab glitch that we use to get out of the maps.
Rampage got the backstab so it should have only been him who was granted the kill.
