In For Honor, a player has turned the community against him: Apparently, he is achieving an outstanding statistics through excessive rage-quitting.
CosmicSwordsman is an Xbox player with one of the best statistics overall in For Honor. It is unclear whether a player or multiple players hide behind the name, but CosmicSwordsman has already defeated 5384 opponents in PvP (which means rank 2 on the leaderboard). He has only died four times himself! Therefore, as a look at the FHTracker reveals, he is number 1 on Xbox One when it comes to K/D.
So far, CosmicSwordsman has only suffered one defeat. Out of 914 matches, he won 913. Incredible!
Is this all above board? Many users on Reddit shout: No! And they provide evidence that this “top player” is cheating.
Witch Hunt Breaking Out on Reddit
According to several Reddit users who encountered CosmicSwordsman in the game, he abruptly ends the match when he faces death. By quitting in this rage, his statistics remain “clean”, and the kill/death ratio remains unaffected. Only his victories are included in the statistics. Not a particularly honorable method to climb to the top of the rankings. This is making the Reddit community very upset.

Many players are appalled by this shameless behavior. In recent days, there have been several posts in the Reddit forum, where CosmicSwordsman was insulted in a nasty manner. One example: “Cosmicswordsman if you see this, get f******”.
Other users take this humorously and “fix” CosmicSwordsman’s statistics as they should actually be:
This name has become a synonym for toxicity, which is why the moderators deleted several posts and comments and even banned CosmicSwordsman from the subreddit. Moreover, there has been a thread live for a few days, urging to refrain from a “witch hunt” – regardless of who is targeted.
Kotaku asked CosmicSwordsman if he wanted to comment on the whole thing, but he did not respond. According to some Reddit users, he justified himself once by saying that he is just very, very good.
What do you think? Should “leavers” and “rage quitters” be punished in For Honor to prevent this from happening, or would that affect too many innocents?
