So it's not like he just made a suicide blitz and gave up. Saber was in legitimate danger, and it was only at the last second that he decided to bail out and sacrifice the chariot because it would have endangered Waver to push any farther. He sacrificed the victory to save Waver's life.
This scene sounds much better, too bad the anime didn't depict it that way. Well Rider & Waver are by far my favorite team. Too bad they probably won't be around for much longer.

As for the rest I feel like more of an outside observer not really getting emotionally involved...and this is the same with Kariya. Urobuchi sure likes torturing his characters and showing us there is no good in wanting to help others.
