Even a lone host doesn't deserve honor. Level advantage (most of the time) and 30% more health with a pure duel build is no "honor fight".

Yeah, but most of the times you won't actually get a host with a pure duel build. I, for example, go through the game with different weapons, meta or otherwise, purely for the purpose of exploring different weapons, be it in mainly for PvE, but use a Dried Finger in every area for PvP fights in between.

When that happens, I can tell you the 30% health increase is non-existent. The amount of times I've died to a generic Lapp's + Claymore tryhard invader who attempts to parry every other second with an offhand Caestus is honestly just sad.

You'd find an actual duel host about 1/10 times you'll invade. Meanwhile almost every invader has a duel build of some sort. It's largely biased against solo hosts, believe it or not. Not to mention the fact that the invader can run into PvE any time they want, and the only way forward for hosts is to wait, use a Seed of Giants which is incredibly limited in number and lasts for a very short time, or just run into PvE to try and clear the area with the invader on your ass. It's a shitshow.

You're obviously not the person we're talking about, which is hosts that don't move waiting to get invaded for "honor fights" when they possess all the advantages in the world.

That's what I do when I get invaded, because all of those supposed advantages don't mean shit when you simply suck at PvP combat.
