Cause, I try to rod back but the fight goes nowhere. Sometimes I can't dodge the rod because they spam the f out of it. Is they're even a way to dodge it? Cause just one hit by the rod, and they automatically crit me, run away and repeat.

If I am being rod spammed, which happens 3/10 games I've noticed, just leave the guy alone and go fight another dude. You'll likely boil down with that rod spammer (assuming he's got 6.5+ armor bars / enough to survive), and then you can simply fight him then. If he still runs and spams, you're going to have you strafe his rod - unfortunately not much other to do unless you have a bow with an exceptional amount of arrows.

All in all rod spamming is always a tricky situation to win in. :)

You can always strafe around the rod whilst you're putting pressure on your opponent. Odds are they'll get confused as you're coming closer and they won't know what to do, leading them to make silly mistakes. That's normally how I tackle the issue which nowadays, is most games.

Just run, that's what I would do. I'm a pretty defensive player, but if necessary, I'll play offensive.

What I find interesting is that most of the time when someone is rodding me back, I can just walk away and they will just follow. I do this is many situations where I cannot get close to someone or they are running. If I just give up and ditch them they almost think: "Oh poop! I actually wanted to fight this guy! Don't leave me!" and they will turn around and pursue you. This gives you control of the fight

I like being chased because (as I said above) it gives me control of the situation. I can F&S, I can whip around and bow, I can rod, and I can use my sword. With any of those options, they will end up running right into my attacks in most cases.

Something to try if none of the other good suggestions up above work out.
