It's Ramsay's modus operandi to toy with his prey and horrify his enemies. If he had sent the dogs out after the boy, they would have reached him very quickly; then Ramsay would have had to continually ride up to the hounds and make sure they didn't rip him to shreds ahead of the desired moment, and would have had to come dangerously close to an enraged Jon in order to give the kill order when Rickon was close to Jon. Or Ramsay could just wait a bit before he releases the dogs just like he did with the arrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin Lannistark Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Rickon had to die for the plot,the way he died was stupid and highly improbable.And he should have watched is back,change is speed and change direction.And what is that about that you need training to do that.

Cron Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 It's hard for me to imagine almost ANYONE (including Rickon) failing to realize that running in a random zig zag pattern would dramatically reduce the odds of being hit by an arrow, but I guess Rickon did fail to realize that, and natural selection took over. In any event, as others have noted, it wouldn't have mattered, cuz Rickon was doomed, cuz the writers decided Rickon was doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, Ramsey decided that. If Rickon somehow survived, then it would be bad writing because Ramsey has no reason to let him live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnySnow88 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Forget running in a zig-zag. Run backwards, facing Ramsay. Every time he shoots an arrow, just strafe left or right. The farther you get, the more time you have to strafe each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
