What is your opinion on pocket Sages?

Not even kidding, the trend of bringing a pocket Sage in a TEAM game needs to die.

Had several games where a guy would bring his girlfriend to play Sage. Sure, she shoots reasonably well, but the fact that she cowers over you the whole round really hurts the game for everyone.

Last time we played Sage never used walls. When called out by my buddy the boyfriend said "What's the point of walling when they don't come to that side?". He also kept protecting her fiercely whenever she did a bad play. So Sage has played ~9 rounds of doing nothing and dying every single one because she was standing behind the guy and healing him whenever. Never healing anyone else, just standing behind. We abandoned those guys whatsoever and brough the game to 10-13, but still. What is the point?

I main Sage for now, me and my buddy are independent and play on different sites. Sure, he needs healing sometimes, but I prioritise lowesthealth person over him.
