When you run out of healing pots in your hotbar do you expect the fight to stop to let you re gather healing pots from your inv or to eat. If you run out of buffs thats your bad and you gotta rebuff, some players opt to have exclusively healing pots on their hotbar and sacrifice an easy rebuff to get more heals, this would mean theres no strategy in how you plan your hotbar, if you gotta eat, repot, regather yourself just run into your room.
Neither player is at a disadvantage both have to eventually pot and if your not able to get gud
tldr; having to rebuff is part of the strategy and the duel. Get gud
