Why do players use lifeline when they don't know her abilities?

I've not really noticed this too much before but the past few weeks it's been happening A LOT! Players on my squad choose lifeline but don't drop the healing drone. I have to ask for health 20 times ...

LL is the most abused legend by teammates in this game ☹️, no one blame Wraith if she doesn't make a portal for the whole match, but everyone will blame LL if she doesn't drop the DOC or when she can not do a revive because you cornered your self 50 meters far and you are still crawling AWAY from her and still expecting to get revived.
when people get LL in their team they get careless, they just start pushing everyone without planning or coordination just because they think " oh we have a freaking lifeline in our team, she will get me if something happens " so they just rush in between two enemy teams fighting and when they get knocked they expect this LL to go in the crossfire and revives their sorry butts.
and it's very funny when both teammates start bitching and asking for DOC forgetting the this LL had to use it a few seconds back when she was engaging someone in the time both of you were busy looting
lifeline is not a personal assistant of the team 🙂 , if teammates are going to act stupid then don't expect her to come and save you and pay for your mistakes

@maximas1986I'm not that bad. I'm on about when lifeline hasn't used the drone at all yet or hasn't used it for at least 5 minutes. And with the revive I'm getting left alone when lifeline is right next to me completely ignoring me even when the enemy is in cover healing themselves.

Perfect opportunities to be revived are being missed. I'm not being selfish just pointing out that some players don't know how to use the character properly even when they are very experienced according to their badges. Why don't they pick a different character instead? Doesn't make sense picking a character and not using their abilities. If it's because lifeline is small then pick another small character like wraith and then they have some abilities they can use for themselves if they don't want to play as a team.

If they are new to the game then that's fine I understand or if they want to play solo then don't follow me around the whole game responding to my pings and then leave me to die when I get downed.

It was only a bit of a rant that's all. Just seeing it happen a lot more recently.

@Marge010 This situation is the exception to the rule though, the problem is that as soon as you get downed YOU have the urgency to get back in the game, your perspective of "safe" isnt your TMs.
LL is my main but the player pool IS toxic af, LLs are treated like indentured medic slaves.
Prime example of toxic stupidity, literally the game i just played, i got a vault key, caustic ran ahead, the usual "lets go vault, lets go vault". he then proceeded to punch me out of the way to steal the yellow pack........ i mean who is THAT stupid? THATS the truth of what LL deal with, the utter stupidity of taking a good perk from the team out of nothing but selfishness.
My own opinion is that millenials lack any kind of patience OR team cohesion, they are in it for themselves and lack the intelligence to understand that the object is to win, they have no strategy, no idea and mediocre ability, they think a good KDR means they are a good player.
I maintain my point in previous threads, random squads are toxic gutter cesspits.
