you might be too separated from your team or getting smoked to a hard-to-reach spot.

depends where you’re situated sometimes I have bad aim reaction days or no audio at times

Could be they are getting hit also

Many of the cases happened when I was just a few feet from the teammates and they opted to shoot the smoker instead of shoving me... and my hp went from 100 to 10

My case was worse, one teammate (who was literally beside me the moment I got caught) attempted to shove the tongue itself, not me, which does absolutely nothing, requiring another teammate to save me

You're simply just unlucky at the wrong time when their focuses were elsewhere, & when other teammates got caught, their focuses were around the team so they reacted faster. I met those who could shove me fast enough when caught by a smoker. Probably you could also try to type a quick chat to make them notice faster, like "help, smoker"

they know youre secretly into it and wanna give you a chance to enjoy it before they help you

We all know some l4d players just wanna see coach hang

I wouldn't be angry if I happened to get caught during a crescendo event or be too far away from teammates. Recently, however, I got caught twice and both of those cases happened outside of crescendo events and I was close to other teammates, like only a couple of meters away, but they failed to save me before I took a lot of damage

Maybe they play with VC and you are not?

Exactly, Judas Iscariot himself was a big fan of both gravity and lynchings ;)

1. You are too far to reach from the teammates
2. They are struggling too
3. Tricky location like in the trees

Apparently you need to be very quick when someone get overwhelmed by the smoker because you no longer have the glorious 300 hp anymore. Thing will run out super fast and lead to instant death. It's not like jockey though where you still have enough time to go down and wait for revive.

Every time I get caught, 80% of times, the time taken for player teammates to save me is longer (sometimes long enough for me to get incap'd from full hp) than for the bot teammates to save me.

It's a mystery I fear we will never be able to figure out.

Actually, I do help teammates when they are in danger

If I get too far from my teammates, it's understandable they can't help me quick. The reason I created this forum is because there were several cases where I was close to other teammates but were too slow to save me, but somehow fast to save others

By the way, if I hear smokers' sounds, I'll usually back off and stay close to teammates
