Can we stop using reinforces as a grenade?

[Barnables]

Half the time i die for whatever reason my teammates trow me right into the middle of the horde as if i was a grenade or a air strike stratagem......just stop

Its just wasting respawns for a small chance i land on the big bug with the hellpod and kill it

And since im already at it, stop trowing people miles away from their dead body, people dont want to loose their special weapons/ backpacks let alone the samples we loose, people just lob me as far away as they can in a random direction and i have to walk all the way back, or we might be playing in 2 teams of 2 people doing different outposts and for some reason the people that im far away from decide to spawn me in

Just please think about where you are spawning people in

Edit: Yes i know sometimes i cant be spawned close to my weapons and far away from enemies but just THINK before you trow a respawn and if you cant give me a safe spawn just dont spawn me, its not that complicated

I die and my dead body is in the middle of the enemy ---> drop me away from the enemy

i die and the enemy is far away---> drop me next to my stuff

i die and you finish off the enemy that killed me --> drop me next to my stuff

i die and you are surrounded by enemies and there is nowhere safe ---> let somebody else spawn me

You're supposed to land on that charger.

reinforce is one of the strongest stratagem tho.
good number of uses, homing (when the helldiver can drive), and 1-2 hit kill titans.

yeah, the one that was there 10 seconds ago and now charged away

You are asking for way too much. You basically want them to clear out all the enemies on your dead body before they call you in.

how hard is it to pick the safest spot close to where someone died?

If you are playing on lower difficulties then sure. But if you are playing on the hardest difficulty odds are you just hit a snowball effect and waves of reinforcements are on the way. No one has time to look for a spot with no enemies that is also right next to your loot. Just circle back if you need to pick up dropped samples.

Then just trow me AWAY from the enemies so i can go back myself, but never trow people into the horde, i might kill one big guy but i will ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die and i am so tired of people who think i am an airstrike
the most important part is to drop people in a safe place, its better to hold off on the respawn or let somebody else do it if you dont know where to do it, the dropping people close to their dead body is just an afterthough

A couple of times I've had teammates that have dropped me next to my gear so I can carry on the fight. Much of the time they indeed throw me right into the middle of hell itself so I just waste a life. I personally try not to reinforce into an impossible fight but put them nearby and then try and draw enemies away from where they spawn. Give them a fighting chance. Unfortunately most people don't think first. It's most frustrating during evacuation missions where each death sets you back considerably.

you're never safe in this game, pal.

Spawn too close to the enemies, complain.
Spawn too far from your equipment, complain.
Spawn not safe enough, complain.
Spawn too safe so you need to do some running, complain.

Soldier, ask not what your fellow Helldivers can do for you, ask what your drop-pod can do for your fellow Helldivers!

[Furry Eskimo]

That's literally part of the hamez but you're right of your teammates throw you into a genuinely dangerous hellhole, they're wasting a life.

[vid23]

I usually just throw the thing as far away from the bugs as possible, if they had anything where they died they can just pick it up later, the bugs wont eat those samples/guns

[Mountain King]

Any Helldivers showing unwillingness to use their drop pods as a weapon are required to report to their nearest Democracy Officer for immediate reeducation.
