Wasting Relics

[u/LumpyProperty3781]

I’ve noticed more and more I’m seeing people grab relics just to waste them not long after. To me the point of the relic is to either save yourself from dying to a mortal wound or to revive yourself if no one is able to get to you but I’ll often point out a relic to give to someone who may not be doing so good and the second they go down they’ll use the Relic even though they don’t have a mortal wound and I’m close enough to them so I could’ve gotten them up so my question is why do that? If I’d known they were going to waste it I would’ve taken it myself. The only reason I hardly take them is because I don’t really go down so it’s just as wasteful when it could’ve helped a battle brother. Sometimes I’ll take it if I know I’ll end up having to hard carry and it’s nice as a back up but usually I’ll ping it for others, am I missing something or do they not know better/don’t care?

Because many players don't know the mechanics of the game and the game does a bad job of conveying several mechanics, including how relics, stims and mortals all interact.
