I wouldn't fault Elgadon. I've always found him to be a pretty strong and brave solo villager.
There are times, however, when I end up fighting 3 or 4 ragers by myself. I wouldn't really say that they disregard the code of the village while doing it, I just don't think that they even think about it. It basically comes down to "here's Althusser" "ok, hold on I'll come help" kind of thing.
I do think that perhaps the village needs to adhere a bit more to the "equal numbers = honorable combat" motif, but as a whole I don't think it's that bad. There are just too many hero ragers right now, so the odds are much better for you to be fighting one at any given time. It's not really gang banging, but when you fight one rager and flee, fight another rager and have to flee, then another rager finds you and you have to flee, it can seem like it is a bit unfair.
