Rescue being used as a weapon

[Lambdafish]

Yea, troll abilities like rescue are always a bad idea. I mean, I'm not sure who thought giving healers an "I can control your character and kill you if I don't like you," button was a good idea.

Healers can literally stop healing you for the same effect. Rescue isn't a troll ability, and is a godsend in the right scenario (E3S Maelstrom is a good example, as rescue negates heavy).

No, there are more passive ways, but they would be stopped by any other class with a healing skill.

I think you overestimate the strength of non-healer heals. Even clemency won't save someone if the healer really wants them dead. As for your comment about "no other role can do that", that is because keeping players alive is the entire job description of healers. No other role can ignore mechanics by popping invulnerability mitigation, but tanks can.
