Any Rework in the works for Lifeline?

I was just wondering now that Gibby has stolen Lifeline's identity if there is a rework coming for her Tactical and Ultimate? It is very frustrating that she can pop ultimate accelerants faster so that she can get a random chance loot drop that will immediately get your team third partied. Also there is nothing "tactical" about her drone, as it masks footsteps, emits a telltale noise to notify enemies that your health is low as well as your exact location, and also emits a glow when you are healing (Im assuming that is for inclusivity so that deaf enemy teams can locate you). Oh and I love the fact that I can just throw a thermite next to her res shield, eliminate the downed opponent and break or nearly break her shield (or just wait for the rez and then one tap the downed guy again). Her kit is a hodgepodge mess propped up by her small hitbox and fast heal. The only problem is if you want the small hitbox and far more useful powers, you can just play pathfinder, wraith, or wattson, and if you want a tank who  does everything better than lifeline, you just choose Gibby.

  • @SpaceHamster1991Lifeline is the easiest legend for winning fights imo atleast she was the first legend I consecutively won games as kill leader on and even won a game as kill leader on mouse and keyboard a couple times and I only played for like 3 hours, im mostly a controller user but wanted to try mouse and key because i was bored, the reason she is the easiest is because she has fast heals and can pop the drone real quick while using a shield battery for really quick heal offs that would be impossible on other legends without a gold shield with fast heals... ya gibralter does have fast heals but its not discrete at all and it’s only inside of his dome for a few seconds while lifeline can pop a quick heal off anywhere at anytime which is really great for outplaying the enemy team in those tricky situations, i think lifelines shield while healing could be more curved or something for more protection from all angles the shield when resing is lifelines flaw because it even shows through walls showing enemys your location and as you said a simple thermite will finish them but thermites even work on gibby domes occasionally, one thing that would definitely make Lifeline a better choice over Gibralter as a healer would be her having a built in gold backpack and I don’t think it would be too overpowered as she is a medic so she should have medic perks

    @FaIIenAngeI777The easiest legend to win a 1 v 1 is Gibby, followed by Wraith/Pathfinder. I'm not disputing that her fast heal is good, I am saying that in a team based game, having a legend who revives as fast as she does and grants fast heal to his entire team under a damage immune dome (that lasts waaaay longer than a couple seconds) makes her a poor choice comparitively...His passives and ult also being amazing just cements the fact.

  • I agree that she needs to be buffed as far as her ability or character in general.  The blue bins kinda added to make her unique and stick out but she needs actual ability buffs as well. Gibby is still basically doing her kit better than her. I also feel that she needs to have a unique pick up/ revive animation also because she is a combat medic. Maybe something with doc as well as the shield that appears.

    • Nope its a joke...unless this is supposed to replace her rng ultimate with rng crate drops...I'm crossing my fingers the devs just wanted to keep her random loot mechanic but are going to replace her ult...
  • @Sir_Named I've opened around 20 blue bins, lots of syringes and level 1 knockdown shields. Wouldn't really call that a buff.
