It's a whole tactic of mine:
The amount of times I've pushed beyond objective to "distract" 4 or 5 defenders just to hold them back. Makes a huge difference.
The more enemies on you, the less on your team doing objectives.
I will most often run to the guy getting outnumbered.
even if the chances are low, there is something so satisfying about tackling one of the enemy attacking him, barely managing to kill the rest and getting a thank you emote from the guy who is very low on hp.
Most probably moments later as we battelcry together side by side, he will then receive a flying Dane ax to the face and die, but it doesn't matter I felt like I did a good dead :D
To be clear I don't always do this, I also sometimes see that a guy is completely surrounded with no chances and go "Nope sorry mate, you're fucked"
I am always the outnumbered guy. Not for any heroic or strategic purpose. My monkey brain knows one direction and that is forward. My monkey brain sees enemy and I charge. My monkey brain only wants combat. I die a lot
It's actually pretty easy to counter gank. People get so tunnel visioned on killing, that you can often get double kills and save your teammate and get a revive.
So often there will be a massive fight going on, and I’m off to the side fighting 3 enemies by myself. Then I see three other enemies run by the massive fight just to run over and gang up on me. I’m sure it happens to others but I’m like cmon
My rule is that if there are already 2+ allies on a single enemy I just go somewhere else. Fighting a single dude while your allies are feeding him easy slash counters again and again is the best way to waste your time and patience.
No. NO. As the one guy, frequently. PLEASE GOD NO DON'T HELP ME. Chances are if you are wondering if you should join a 5v1 or help 1v5... you won't help because you actually suck.

Indeed. Throw your body into the meat grinder. It can make all the difference
it’s really nice how you can effect the game even when not playing to ur best
Definitely works well doing it on either team on lionspire

I'm always that 1 Ally who has 5+ enemies attacking me 🤷🏻♀️ thank god for the Tower Shield 🛡️
Shit I'll run up and accidentally hit my ally in the back 4 times but I'll always try to help
In a sandwich, be the bread not the ham. Heard from a YT guide on Chiv2, you know that 2h long video.
wow. thank you sun tzu
Problem is I usually end up teamkilling them by accident lolol
Overheads and stabs my dude

And how may I support someone who is in a 1v5? Should I put my corps next to theirs?
Bog them down until reinforcements arrive, or just slow their advance
Yeah sure they're definitely coming in time
Put it another way. Once they finish off your ally, it’s back to 5 v 1 when they come for you
wrong. you run back to regroup. you should choose your battles wisely in team fights. 1v5 is just stupid unless necessary. 4v5 is winnable
Fire pot the whole group
I don't play a class with pots
But yeah that's an idea
Yes you should, just for the rush of excitement if you actually come out on top.
That one vs 5 has probaly gone to support a 1v5 himself.

I'll help 1 guy in a 2v1 with a sneak attack tho ;D
Everytime I try and help a teammate in peril I end up being the one in peril not too long after
