Maybe a hot take but I think Rytlock gets way too much shit from some people. Like, sure he's had his fuckups IS a bit of a fuckup but he's also been one of our most steadfast allies ever since Heart of Thorns. The only times he's been away (since he officially joined the group) have been EoD and Season 3, both of which are understandable given in the former he's still recovering from his cub dying and in the latter he is literally dragged off by the citadel. All other times he's been very much ready to follow us to the ends of Tyria, moreso than anyone else except Taimi. And doing so obviously came with great personal sacrifice, like when he said "I gave up everything to fight beside you!" he wasn't lying, he would have had much greater standing with the charr if he hadn't spent years away fighting with us. Personally, I think that should be appreciated a bit more.
