I'll admit, sometimes I Life Grip to save myself

I have a confession to make. When Im playing Lifeweaver and I am by myself in a part of the map, sometimes I will get attacked by an enemy (or two enemies) with no one else around. When this happens, I usually panic and I will Life Grip the closest teammate to help me from dying in a 1-on-1 or 1-on-2 fight.

Should I feel guilty? :flushed: :weary:

If they ignore pings/callouts…sure. I do the same thing. Some people just have tunnel vision, especially tank.

Yes.

This is exactly why I refuse to play Lifeweaver as he is.

My teammates have enough on their plates, they don’t need to worry about me pulling them into untenable situations as if I’m a teammate Roadhog.

Good Lifeweavers make mostly good pulls and I cannot fault those. However, recently, i’ve been matched up with bad or newbie Lifeweavers messing me up with senseless pulls, on top of being bad at general healing.

I mean this is my whole issue with Wifeleaver tbh, I don’t blame the players playing him at all. I think it just proves that Blizzard really didn’t think thoroughly enough about giving players the ability to override the movement/position of another player.

I remember back in the days of 2018, I saw a funny thread saying Roadhog should have an interaction that lets him hook teammates, at the time everyone thought it sounded a bit silly.

Times change I suppose, I understand wifeleaver players enjoy the character and hey, who am I to say otherwise?

So should you feel guilty? ehh I wouldn’t think too much of it tbh. I’d definitely try to not make it a habit though lol

Guilt is a weird word. I guess if you both die then feel a little guilt. But you should be aware of if they can save you or not. If they can then I don’t think you need to feel guilt. But if you’re caught with no escape and dead within 1s. Then maybe don’t panic and use your ability just to kill the other person.

It’s even more fun using them as a meatshield to dodge a rein pin etc.

Yknow those cartoon moments when someone gets “summoned” at an inconvenient time and like… they’re suddenly there like brushing their teeth or having a bath in the middle of a battlefield?

That’s what you’re doing.

The person you just yoinked, unless incredibly reactive, has no idea who what or when and is likely just going to get to push M1 a couple times before dying.

I get the reaction, but you are borderline griefing.

How about this? Save me from that freak and I will scrub your back. I will even get behind your ears. Ooh, and let you borrow some of my good floss. Not that cheap garbage. This is legitimate floss. That’s my offer. Take it or leave it, open to negotiation if you do not take it. :face_with_peeking_eye:

Nope. I have LF do that all the time to me. It is what exactly you should do.

No point in you dieing, we all die next.

pull is inherently what a lot of supports want, it does the job of 3 baptistes. pull should be a natural part of a tank loop and should be used often.

if i pull a tank at 50hp, he is not complaining.

Sometimes, it’s legitimately the smart thing to do. But usually not.

Sometimes it’s the correct play. If it’s the correct play, it’s the correct play. Personally, I very rarely do it… But I think people often get the memo.

Are you playing into Zarya? You’re fine and arguably useful. Are you playing into anything else? Yes you should feel guilty because you’ve been throwing most of the game.

:sunflower:

Oh I’m supposed to help you when that happens? I usually just go that was weird and charge back into battle.

I thought the only way was to troll teammates. Am I missing something?

Do you not only die anyway, but get your teammate killed in the process? Then yes, you’re feeding.

Do you both live? Also yes, but at least you aren’t throwing now.
