I don't understand why players pick Lifeline??

@Marge010 #1. Lifeline is everyone's first Legend so some of your teammates might be relatively new and pick her because she's familiar.

#2. Teammates don't always take advantage of her heal drone so I personally don't think of using it unless I'm reviving someone as well.

#3. Players disagree on when to go for a revive. Just because she can always revive doesn't mean she should.

#4. Sometimes you end up with a Legend you didn't intend to pick or don't pick often so you forget to use their abilities.

#5. Some players are just dumb/selfish.

Why did 3 of my random Octane players today stim and jump pad as far away from the team to loot everything before we get there, never look back and continue on a forward push to their own demise just to spam the ping button after being knocked going against 3 enemies then swear and yell and exit? Why do ppl pick Octane if they don't know how to use him? Genuine question. 

Why do some of my random Loba teammates drops their ultimate's grab their two items and then close the ultimate before I can grab anything? Why do ppl use Loba if they don't know how to use her? Genuine question. 

Why do some of my Valk random teammates when we are trapped way out in storm, not use her ult to get us out of storm and into a better position....instead just runs the entire way. Why do ppl pick Valk if they don't know how to use her? General question. 

Why do some of my random pathy teammates not use the zipline when its time to push, or escape or gain high ground? Why do ppl use pathy if they don't know how to use him? General question. 

I can use one with every single legend. Do you notice a trend here? There will always be those that either just can't grasp concepts, understand the fullest potential of a legend or critical think, multitask or problem solve. I sure everyone on this forum has someone in their line of work that fits the same. Unfortunately, they also play video games.  : ) 

All we can do is educate and hope for the best.  

@Marge010Perhaps their drone was used just before and on cooldown?

Also punching a teammate may make them not do what you want. Depending on the situation if you punch me I leave.

This thread inspired my to play a game with LL and I’ve never tried her new buffs outside of the firing range. The tactical is so much better now with the increased range but her ult is still useless except for making an unbreakable cover in open areas. I think I made some decent revives and a clutch rez with a gold bag but unfortunately didn’t grab the W for the team.

As someone who's played a lot of Valk... we don't fly out of Ring 2 and beyond because we'll get knocked lifting off.  I've even had a knock lifting off too close to a closing ring, with no way for us to heal during the Ult, we're just dead meat.  Flying out of Ring 1 work, and I'll do that, better make sure you've got all your health though.
