Lifeline as a legend

Back then, Lifeline was among the best, nowadays she's very dependent on her team to do a lot. Now I get that Support is meant to help the team, but Lifeline isn't much without a team. Loba is able to use her passive and ultimate to good use solo, while Lifeline needs the team for her revive, and her care package draws way too much attention. It would be nice if Lifeline were to get her fast heals back. It was already nerfed and stolen by Gibraltar, and honestly, it might be the boost she needs to be better. Some players might disagree and say that Lifeline isn't that bad, BUT skilled players are usually good with alot of legends despite their bad traits. It wouldn't hurt to give her fast heals at their old speed, and have Gibby's be a bit slower. This is just my opinion  in the end, but I'm sure some would agree.

  • @Favoredpiano lol wow lifeline has like one of the best win percentages in the game. Yes she is one of the best support characters in the game(if not the best) her auto revive is the best passive in the game hands down. Gibby only gets stuff in his bubble, which that and his ultimate draw way more attention. Ppl say her care package is weak late game but it provides heals and an obstacle to hid behind and use for cover which can be pretty clutch. She doesn't need anything except maybe a nerf. Really I don't worry too much about her but definitely not a buff.

    @Ironflower196 her passive and small hitbox carry her like they have always done. Small hitbox legends would have a decent winrate with zero abilities. Her tactical and ult are incredibly lackluster, and dropping an rng ult for cover is beyond pathetic for being an "ultimate". I just hope they bite the bullet and finally do a full rework. Her new passive is cancer and she is incredibly braindead to play.
  • @Favoredpiano Compare her right now to some other legends how OP they are, it wouldnt hurt anybody to revert the rework. Imo before the rework she was good but now shes just broken and unplayable as a solo since her passive is useless when your teammates leave as soon as they get knocked
  • I actually agree with this. She needs quick heals as a buff and then needs a timer nerf for her auto rez. Her being able to immediately use her auto rez as soon as a mate gets up from the first one, is honestly super OP. I think there should be a 10 second (or so) timer from the start of a rez to when she can rez the next person. IF she got her fast heals back, I might actually use her more. I'm a Horizon/Octane main now, but I used Lifeline back in the day and loved her because of those quick heals. Was nice.

    @NolanGraysonnn Its not a stat that I have seen it was what a Klein said in an interview on January 12th Horizons has the best winrate, wraith is second now, then gibs, lifeline, and wattson. In articles I have read even before that one lifeline has always had one of the highest win rates since the beginning of the game.
  • @TinyTim6991 Her tactical and ultimate work fine. I don't know how you think they are pathetic abilities when those thing can save you and win the game. With her tactical You can heal while popping a shield or get rezed and pull off a med in the storm when otherwise you won't make it. Her ult can give you a purple shield which can help you in your next fight or heals late game if you haven't had a chance to get to pick up any. They may not be worthwhile abilities but they are things that do help you win.
