I absolutely want Rescue to stay and think unique abilities should be encouraged, but I agree with this. "Use arms length" is the worst argument I've ever seen to justify Rescue remaining in the game. Even more hilarious are the arguments that you can just split second predict a Rescue and kb immune it. I don't think people realize nonsense like that would encourage any Dev reading this to simply laugh and remove Rescue immediately.

Rescue should stay because it's a unique ability that encourages raid awareness and thinking outside the box for creative uses. It can legitimately save a player used well. The situations where it has been used maliciously (outside of statics for fun) are so rare many players never even encounter it and mistaken uses are hardly a big deal, mistakes happen that kill people all the time regardless of Rescue. The only thing I'd change is making it more instant when used, the animation delay makes it hard to use it as a quick reaction save.
