The reason for this is that the alternative is that you both make attacks. In both cases, two identical attack rolls are made--but in one case only one of them can potentially hit, while in the other case they can both potentially hit.You need to make sure you are Helping someone whose damage output per action is significantly higher than your own, or you are reducing your side's effectiveness by using the Help action rather than just making your own attack against the foe.On the other hand, if you have a group of creatures, it is often a great idea to have one of them use an action/attack to knock a foe prone, allowing multiple allies to attack them with advantage.</blockquote>
