These invasions are easily the stupidest and longest set of invasions I have ever had. Prior to these my longest invasion was maybe twenty-five minutes long. The first invasion took 50 minutes and the second took 40 minutes (granted that some of it was sorta AFK). My average invasion nowadays is ~5 minutes long (including the time it takes to find the targets).
The whole endlessly running thing is just this host's bait to get people into doing the one attack type he can parry with his awful skill and terrible internet connection. My guess is that in addition to some extreme latency that he only had a 2 Mbps upload speed (I don't think it was WiFi, just every member of his household was watching Netflix while using Facetime and downloading music at the same time). Given that he was only doing turn and burns it's hard to tell but most of the time his attacks were hitting before the animation even started.
Had he not DC'd I'm confident that we would've seen that he was in the upper limit of my invasion range as an Aldrich, me being SL 35+4 he was likely between SL 58 and 69 using +5/6 equipment. Of course given that he instantly blocked me for winning I'll never get to know (he's clearly fishing for hatemail, so it's unlikely he's blocking messages from random players). I'm against sending baitmail to get a response but this was clearly a very special snowflake and had he not blocked me I would've merely sent "GG No Reee".
Dark Souls III isn't a bad game but a large portion of its user base are exploiting basic mechanics to "troll" others. We've all seen these same cowards; constantly relying on others to gank, only using builds that can kill in 3-4 hits, and always using every advantage possible to them. People complain that DS3 is a dead game, it's several years old now but that's not the real problem. The real problem is a lack of variety, every other invasion nowadays feels like I'm invading the same Bonfire Duelist Jobber that I did only moments ago. Meanwhile I keep seeing more and more random invaders being absolute PVE addons by doing nothing at all, or using a greatbow, until the host is fighting something else. The problem isn't the game, it's what's left of the larger community.

Side Note: I had originally intended to make kart racing jokes in combination with the mini map but the effort of getting go-kart graphics without a character in them to rotoscope proved to be incredibly difficult.
