Destroy Lifeline to Save her

Everyone wants a nerf to the autorez. I'm all for it, as it will expose how poorly constructed her kit is without an overpowered passive and might actually force the devs to rework her properly.

  • @TinyTim6991 I would like the old Lifeline rez to come back: she does the rez herself and the drone provides a shield. People complained about that shield back then but with all the current high mobility legends I don't think the shield is an issue. Also, Seer probably interrupts the rez as he interrupts practically everything...fun included.
  • @TinyTim6991Personally...

    Lifeline Passive: Manually Revive your Teammate’s with a Shield based off of your Teammates’s knockdown shield levels

    Lifeline Tactical: deploy for your self or automatically ‘’send’’ your healing drone to your teammate’s locations to aid them during gunfights either while they are in a long range engagement but taking damage or getting shot at or just really low health behind cover somewhere but the health regen speed may need to be adjusted if too op

    Ultimate: Scrap the Care Package and replace it with the Auto Revive and give it a 60-90 second cooldown

    Passive: Disagree with making the shield breakable. She was already vulnerable by having to stick the rez with a shield that you could nade, push up on, or wait to resolve for reknock (all strats that were used when this was her original passive). Making it breakable would make it even worse and allow teams to focus your rez shield for a guaranteed thirst.

    Lifeline Tactical: I'd rather the drone act the same as it does currently, but with the added benefit of being able to attach it to a teammate. One attached it would heal only them, allow them to move with it attached, and would disappear after the player character took two tics of damage (similar to how it works in zone) or was restored to full health.

    Ult: I disagree with this one too. I think the auto rez is one of the most braindead abilities in the game and actually limits her utility on a team. I'd rather she drops an area of effect ult that gives fast heals to anyone in that radius for a short time. This way her kit logically progresses in power. She fast rezzes with shield, she then heals that rezz with her drone, and finally drops an aoe ult that allows that teammate to restore shields/health quickly and get back in the fight. It also brings more utility to the team, as her strongest ability is no longer limited to being used only when you are in a disadvantageous state (teammate being knocked). This ult would be very strong, but could be balanced around cooldown and how long the aoe effect would last.
