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.
This is exactly why I refuse to play Lifeweaver as he is.
My teammates have enough on their plates, they donât need to worry about me pulling them into untenable situations as if Iâm a teammate Roadhog.
Good Lifeweavers make mostly good pulls and I cannot fault those. However, recently, iâve 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 donât blame the players playing him at all. I think it just proves that Blizzard really didnât 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 wouldnât think too much of it tbh. Iâd 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 donât think you need to feel guilt. But if youâre caught with no escape and dead within 1s. Then maybe donât panic and use your ability just to kill the other person.
Yknow those cartoon moments when someone gets âsummonedâ at an inconvenient time and like⌠theyâre suddenly there like brushing their teeth or having a bath in the middle of a battlefield?
Thatâs what youâre 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. Thatâs my offer. Take it or leave it, open to negotiation if you do not take it.
Sometimes itâs the correct play. If itâs the correct play, itâs the correct play. Personally, I very rarely do it⌠But I think people often get the memo.
Are you playing into Zarya? Youâre fine and arguably useful. Are you playing into anything else? Yes you should feel guilty because youâve been throwing most of the game.
