It's more that my brother does this to me every game. It somehow doesn't correlate in his mind that he's also like "help there's a heavy on me!" every 3 minutes.
Just add a gatling gun to the inventory. My favourite loadout is spear with a gatling. I stay a bit away from the team and use the spear to kill the titans and the gatling to protect myself. Gatling (or any other turret for that matter) is a great distraction.
