The dreaded 1v1

What is it with people in this game? It seems like every few games I'll end up with someone suddenly challenging another person to a duel. Maybe it's just a low elo thing, but I seriously find it annoying to deal with. Most of the time it isn't even a fair match up.

Fed lv 18 Lee Sin at full build vs lv 16 Kha'zix with only 3 items. Honestly where's the fairness in that? At what point do people think "Man you know what would make me look tough? Challenging their already losing team member to a fight. That'll show them how good I am."

Now, I can understand if you like dueling in general, and it's a fair match-up. But from what I've noticed, that's rarely the case. Even then, a lot of the time these duel requests happen at the end of a game, when someone is about to lose. Those sudden last words "Wait don't kill nexus! 1v1 me!" And the worst part is that even your team will sometimes bitch at you for "being a coward" and not accepting that duel.

Perhaps it's just the low elo in them speaking. But personally, I have never wanted to stop and give the enemy team a chance to recover from a certain loss. No way in hell I'm going to "1v1" when they might just group on me and kill me, then counter push and take our nexus.

But no matter how stupid, people seem to be obsessed with this idea that a 1v1 is always fair and will make them look cool.

For the record though, it just makes you look like an ass when you challenge someone to a 1v1. This isn't COD.
