Ok, so. It was a normal day, I was doing duels, I happen to be an absolute god at elden ring pvp, as since luanch, I have only lost one duel. Ever. (Cuase bleed is completely balanced, so is rivers of blood) now, my playstyle usually has me focus more and speed, magic and dmg rather than my health. So when I get hit, it take about half my health, now, I get pulled into a pvp ring and this guy has a HUGE health pool, he nearly kills me in one hit, we fight, and a manage to inch out a win after using a my health potions. I enjoy a couple duels later, and he messages me, going off about how I used health potions to win. I explained to him the concept of my build, and how I needed lots of health and mana potions to function. He still said that you don't use them in duels, as a dark souls 2/Bloodborne veteran, who knows the honor system in and out. I have never heard of this. (More in a second)

As usual health potions are usually banned in fight clubs, aka professional pvp rings. I was in a large duel spot, but it was not a fight club. (For those who want to know, it was the gate you take to exit the academy) and I wish I had pics of the messages, because you could smell the salt from them. They proceeded to tell me that I was at a severe disadvantage since invaders have half the amount of heals that hosts do. he than went after how I used my bloodhound step ability to evade his attacks, I proceeded to tell him that it was a casual pvp setting, and that I was going to use whatever I deemed fit, and proceeded to highlight all the times he scumed(cheesing, using broken weapons that have yet to be nerfed, overall just a douchebag way of playing) he than told me "whatever man, keep losing all your duels" and this is where the irony kicks in. And I proceeded to tell him "I don't know man, I've been playing since luanch and I've only lost a single duel ever. I've been undefeated for littarly months. So I think I know what I'm doing." He stopped messaging me after that.

An a extra note. I have a motto when it comes to soulsborne pvp, as they usually do a good job of balancing. "If it's in the game I expect you to use it." Of course that doesn't stop me from getting annoyed when someone spams rivers of blood on me. (still,that only worked on me once.)

Am I in the wrong here?
