Can you imagine a pilot back in the Battle of Britain saying "everyone else stop shooting -it's just that guy and I?" In Desert Storm, did the coalition say "they're outnumbered here - let's leave our planes on the ground?"
It's part and parcel of the game.
Except neither of those examples were a video game that people were playing for mutual fun and enjoyment. Also what Sombra said.

You're the definition of the problem. This isn't real life, but primarily a game that all people play for the same reason: to have fun. Just because "it makes sense inRP" or because "it would happen irl too" doesn't mean you should absolutely shit on the other guy's day.
B, The whole concept of fair fights is just a stupid double standard for people who can't live with getting killed, or wan't everything out of conn to be clean in their favor. In the middle of a giant fight with 30 people on either side like say this are you seriously going to pull someone aside and say "hey I want a 1v1 give me or you're an unfair group of shitters"??????? Then comes the whole logic of, "well at the end of the fight its nice to give the last target a 1v1 because you shouldn't mind missing out on one blue". Read that over again, and tell me how dumb that sounds. "Lets give the guy that was targeted last a chance because... why not?" Really? In pvp there's a "winning" side and a "losing" side, if you cant get over the fact that you lost and are being the last one killed, than you probably need to grow up a bit. If it were me at the end, or some other veteran pvper or someone that the opposing group disliked, do you think they'd give that person (me) a 1v1? I can give you a hint, the answer rhymes with "go".
The logic behind wanting fair fights in every case or at the end of a fight is completely stupid, "Wawawawaaawwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I WANT MY FAIR FIGHT" Grow up, when I fly into liberty as a xeno I have carriers shooting me left and right, when I fly in Omega-5 I have to deal with stuff like this no one ever gave me a fair fight at the end of a group battle. No one ever asked me for a 1v1 while I was flying RHA in Dresden and Omega-5, I didn't whine about it, I just got better and killed them.
Fights are far more intriguing, adrenaline rushing, and exciting when neither side holds back. All the events that people genuinely enjoy like Royal Flush, had no "fair fight" garbage latched onto them, fun fights are possible, but people advocating for this sort of "fair fight for me" double standard is what's preventing it from happening.
No hard feelings to you Benji, but to everyone who advocates for this sort of thing, it's not going to happen, grow up and actually try GETTING BETTER rather than whining.
Having equal numbers in no way makes it balanced or fair, you also have to account for player skill.. For instance, having 2-4 total scrubs, like myself, versus a very skilled player, like Wesker, is going to end very badly for the scrubs, unless the scrubs just get extremely lucky. Some people have no choice but to gank if they want any hope of winning the fight. I have been on Disco since 2014 or so and never in my life have I gotten a kill, whether it was a 1v1 duel or a full on skirmish/gank. Ganks are not only a part of the game but also life. If you're a murderer and you see 7 police officers down the road, you don't walk up with a machete and ask them to line up nicely and come at you 1 by 1 like in a movie, no, you turn the f*** around and go else where.
