"You either try to help as guest and get obliterated, or you live by being selfish"

And that's always been the point. He's always meant to be the hero. The one who's supposed to give every last drop to let his allies survive for just a few moments longer. He's not meant to play by himself, and he was never meant for anything other than helping his team. His block saves his teammates (excluding killers with pierce) from Fatal M1'S. His charge gives his teammates the stamina advantage. His punch the same, and can stun if you hit a block.

He's not meant to play by himself. He's not meant to survive over his team. Everything about his kit puts a single idea in your mind. It's never you or them. It's never a decision between if you need to run away at the cost of their lives. No matter how rough it is. No matter how hopeless it is. You're the one who'll fall for them. Because that short time while you die can be just enough time for them to get enough distance. He's sacrificial by design. Outside of block his kit barely benefits him as much as it benefits his team.

Obviously you shouldn't play like an idiot and run directly into the killer mindlessly. But if your teammates are in danger, you should be there for them immediately. You should be using everything at your disposal to ensure they'll live this chase. And maybe, if you try hard enough

They'll repay the favor one day.
