Being intentionally unfair is cheating (Destiny)

by ZackDark , Not behind you. NO! Don't look., Thursday, October 15, 2015, 22:28 (3422 days ago) @ Cody Miller

If your opponent is incapable of combo-ing and you did it anyway, yes, you were cheating.

If you play a board game against someone who doesn't knows the rules as you're playing, yes, you're cheating.

If you intentionally trigger an infinite Super on people who have no way of doing the same, yes, you're cheating.

Now, is it morally reproachable? Yes, it is.

Is it fair to make it a banable offense retroactively? That's debatable. I am of opinion that no, it isn't fair. You maybe didn't know your opponent couldn't combo. Maybe you didn't know your opponent didn't know the rules. And...

...

Interesting, I can't come up with a morally grounded excuse for using infinite Shadowshot. Still, I don't think it should be a retroactively banable offense.
