Re: (REWORK) Megathread Lifeline / Newcastle megathread

@ROTTERDAM-BOSS What I mean is back when the shield was taken away from LL while rezzing it was because the concept of the ability was too powerful. Now with the hype of a new season they add a new legend with that similar concept of ability and more that can be purchased with either legend upgrade points or apex points (which can be bought with real money). Not t mention a whole market of new cosmetics for said new legend. I am not against new legends at all. Quite the opposite. I am however disappointed that they chose to bring something to the new legend that they took in concept from another one because it was deemed game breaking instead of being more creative with the new and giving back the old ones original kit.

@therealbackpain thanks for clearing up! I think your right about new legends with comparable abilities. The focus here should be on Lifeline’s revive system. There should be a clear difference between “Defense” and “Support”. I think the line between those are now very thin. The only support Legends are Lifeline and Loba right now. Loba actually is good in what she does, supply teammates with goodies and ammuniton. Loba stealing banners from her shop would be a great idea though (support wise) but that is not the focus right now. At least two (Gibby & Newcastle) defense characters have now stronger revive systems than Lifeline. Let’s be honest yes the old revive shield system was strong but what does she actually have left? Maybe they should bring her shield back but this time breakable?

Reddit covered a lot ideas as well! Here an example; They should take a look at something like this.
