Distracting Deaths

Have you ever stopped to scratch an itch and died? Phone call in the middle of a Fight? Watching T.V. and got distracted? Feel free to share those times you got distracted and lost.

Oh for sure. Every once in a while, when I throw a sp3, I get cocky and try to do something else for a split second, but I always overestimate the amount of time I have and usually get clipped 😂

Been there. Especially with the whole 1% thing going on. Worst for me was the new Arena format. I was used to pressing the button and waiting to begin the Fight. I don't know how many times I've pressed it, and come back to me getting my butt kicked. Lol.

My wife loves to ask me things right during the endless win cycle between 13 and 17 and i end up loosing at least one fight cause of it!

Waves facebook posts in my face!

A texting spree or a call during a fight, i can only see the character's legs and no health, buffs, or debuffs at all!

i have a new puppy, she has a few times jumped into my lap and caused me to slip up lol

In arena, I'm bad at winning a fight and then forgetting that the next one starts like, right away

5.4.6 ultron boss had 2%hp left. I threw a sp3 then put phone down to go do something. Came back and saw i died and he remained on 1 hp...

I have a buddy that was notorious for messaging me whenever I sat down to Grind. Never failed. I shut Messenger off. Lol.

yeah, my boss usually shows up at the most inopportune time to ask me to do something "important" ... geez, seriously ? I'm already doing something important!!

Lol, when a text or email comes through and I try to swipe it away and take damage or die lol

20% battery notification pausing the game just as I was about to parry a dashing attack. As soon as I unpaused, got comboed to death.

My gf texts me while I play. While sitting next to me on the couch. Not even anything I wanna see. Kardashian articles or pictures of me playing..... it’s quite fun when you are timing buffs. Then I don’t answer and get the real life text “are you ever going to put your phone down?” Or “I hope that game dies”

The moment I start something hard or timed my wife decides that is when she want me to help with something or talk about something.

Usually when I start a fight in AQ or EQ boss fight or something really hard.

Either spam texted by friends or when your watching something else, look back, and you are halfway dead.

Fall asleep during arena and wake up to your streak lost cuz you thought it was a good idea to try again even though you fell asleep the first time.

One time I started the fight and it was at the loading screen and I forgot it was about to start so I set my phone down and went to load the dishwasher came back and my champ was dead.

My own fault - when I grind after work, late at night, I fall asleep, wake up and notice my last fight is a loss.

'Do Not Disturb' FTW

Oh yeah another of my favorites is when I start a fight and then my screen decides to flip upside down then I quickly flip it over and it decides to rotate again and again

TheVyrus

I will start the fight and then try to comment or read something in the forums.

Just yesterday I was doing a fight in AQ while at work and suddenly I heard a loud noise outside of the office. An A.C unit exploded and nearly caught afire.
For the next few seconds this was me simultaneously looking up to see what happened, walking to the exit and still holding the phone trying to finish the fight without watching the screen. Of course I lost the fight lol.

This is the best one ive had. Doing and EQ on normal for rewards.. using A.i.
didnt realize i didnt have the A.I on

GroundedWisdom

Been there. Lol. I've done the opposite too. Go into a hard Fight, and not realize I had Auto on.

Trying to take a mouthful of beer and oops dead again, happens to me all too often 🍺🤪

I do not recommend playing after a long night of drinking, no matter how good you think you are, joined in AW once after that and lost 2 champs on the first fight of my path.

Also hate it when I'm playing and the group chat decides to explode with messages and it gets really distracting, especially when you're playing with sound on and all those annoying rings make it a pain to fight.

Yeah that's the reason I grew tired of Line. I know you can turn off Notifications. I just took it one step further. Lol.

I also bet she's the type that's always on Instagram or Snapchat as well, or Facebook. She basically spends as much time on social media as you do playing.

Reason No. 214,931 that I'm glad I'm Single. LOL.
