    @Sir_Named dude stop trying to defend every single issue respawn makes you * fanboy. I see you in every single forum that is talking about a legit issue, and you always say that the person writing it is wrong. Lifeline auto revive is broken. Plain and simple. Nobody asked for it (besides lifeline mains) and nobody wanted it (besides lifeline mains). I have had numerous occasions where either the enemy squad beamed me or I beamed the enemy squad and in an instant, their lifeline picks them up with a big * shield to stop almost everything and the lifeline can still fight back. This isn't balance. You don't balance the game for someone being better than you. That's not how you are supposed to do it.

@LordloshBang Well, you don’t have to use grenades. They are useful for this situation tho.

You don’t have to grenade spam to engage enemies. It’s definitely a good tactic, but you don’t have to use all of them.

Especially for something like a Frag, just tossing one nearby is really not that hard. Sure, some pro missed an easy grenade shot a few times, but that’s really not an issue. There are even people who throw frags high enough so that they explode on the way down.

Well, if I don’t have to tell you that Apex does require thinking, then why do you say that it doesn’t?

Also, how old are you? (Rhetorical question). You’ve been playing video games for 20 years? (Completely unrelated, I’m just surprised.)

There are also a ton of other abilities that slow the pacing of the game, and they’re still in the game.

@Sir_Named But as you mentioned, those which can slow the pacing of the game are "abilities", that have a cooldown on them. Even with Gibraltar's ability to fast revive in the doom, Lifeline's passive is much more better as first, it is a passive that doesn't have cooldown, second is that 2 vs 3 has a much higher chance to win than just 1 vs 3 (at least force the attackers to retreat).

It is true that grenade is one of the counter to this auto revive, but as mentioned before, you cannot bring a lot (2 is at most or 3 if you use a wingman) of them and they are usually be used at the start of the battle. A fun fact is that the revive process will be continued even if all the people are downed, it is almost the same situation as the gold knockdown shield, but people said they are disgusting so at least we can't see them in the tournament despite that grenade is a good counter. If the gold knockdown shield is banned due to this reason, I think this auto-revive should also be banned too.

Lastly, I have some suggestions about this passive: Just change it to half auto-revive that lifeline need to stay for the first few seconds instead of just clicking a button then do other things (maybe the animation is lifeline sets the program to the bot that allows it to revive teammates). Also, it is a little bit strange that it can have 2 bots at the same time that one for reviving and one for healing (the ability) despite that lifeline only have 1 bot, maybe it can be changed a little bit (so this it becomes logical).

    Or just remove the whole thing, because its not right, its not rewarding the right player, and does not require any brain or skill to use it.

    Its a bad mechanics, that exist only in Apex(or at least i know of). They are not working on the right things and will make a lot of players leave the game, due to frustration and annoying.

    I got huge drop in K/D/R, from the moment this changes come to live.

    There is already knockdown shields, they are more than enough to safe your * lets said for unfortunate death(aka enemy got lucky on 1 hp, and so on and so on), but there should not be anything further,except for the normal revive.


    Gibraltar fast revive, Lifeline auto-revive, and even goldpack(or at least reduce it to lower hp/armor) should be removed from the game, and they should not mess up with the revive stuff anymore.

    With this stupid change, you are penalized the better team.

    Yesterday got another ridiculous situation with this b.c.

    On Lava city, random team, they are on the roof, as usual my teammates don`t know what they are doing, one of them died instantly, our Pathy decide to go to top of the building i was going to the place, when 1 of their squad drops down on me i kill him, in that time Pathfinder was screaming to go up, because he downed one, but he killed in that time, and i got to killed the one i downed.

    I enter the building get up to the floor, chased the player through the floors that was just get up, i downed him again, but in that time of course Lifeline was shooting at me, and i drop from the building to pop a battery(otherwise i would have die obviously). Enough time for him to auto-revive him again and of course to soft push me, and to give his buddy time to either armor swap or heal.

    So yeah its not OP, its totally break the game.

    Most people i`m talking in game, hate this change and are totally against it.

    And right now Lifeline pick rate in ranked is probably lifetime highest. Its just a joke.

    Its break the game, its stretch the fights, make you way more prone to third parties, make you spend more ammo and items and so on. All of the wrong thing.

    If they want to increase the TTK of the fight, just buff armors or nerf weapons. 

    The only revive that should exist in the game it should be the normal one. Otherwise you are just punishing the better players in the situation and taking the kills out of the players. At the end of the day this is a FPS game, and your goal is to get kills and wins.

    @Xx__Miku831__xX But, they are much more potent.
    Basically Caustic’s entire kit is meant to slow down the pacing, as well as Wattson’s entire kit. (Except maybe her passive?)
    Something slowing down the pacing doesn’t seem like much of a negative, it just forces players to adapt more.

    But if you’re carrying a Wingman, one shot is all it takes to knock them back down again, forcing the Lifeline to return.

    They could probably tweak it, but it really isn’t that strong. (Unless you have gold backpack, in which case it might need to be tweaked).

    Lifeline can just remotely revive people over and over without cooldown. That's broken right there. She can also revive a second person while the drone is reviving another. All the while, she can do it behind a shield. It doesn't need "tweaking". It needs to be removed. Stop.
