Lifeline 'buff'
On first glance being able to revive a teammate and continue fighting is exactly the buff lifeline was needing but I and many other lifeline mains out there NEVER expected it would come at the cost o...

The whole map is filled with recharge tower. You got plenty of room to spam his ultimate and fill your entire squads with purple gear, which is very useful.
Purple are not common shields, like everyone like to make them.
Landing on Capacitor with good Lifeline is equal to landing with 3 purple shields, because of the 3 recharge towers.
You can`t have both, auto revive with a shield and on top of that, you can actually revive both teammates, and a fast heals.
Lifeline was very solid legend. She was the 3rd most picked Legend, and it was by far. She was 3rd most picked in season 4, and 3rd most picked in season 5.
I don`t know why they spend so much time completely reworking her. She was okay as it was.
Also she was heavily picked in ranked and i mean heavily.
Maybe the only reason this rework come was because of her pick rate in competitive, which was like zero in season 4/5.
But before that she was picked in tournaments. But legends like Octane, Mirage, Crypto, Bangalore, Bloodhound, never was any pick rate in competitive.
No way in a hell they will give her fast revive + the new passive with auto-revive and second teammate revive.
I think the way she is now, its have higher chance to get picked in tournaments/competitive, and her ranked pick rate will kinda stay the same, or maybe drop a bit by the lesser skilled players, but in pub her drop rate will drop for sure.
Does she needs a buff - absolutely no. She already get a complete rework, so don`t expect anything more for her.
@LordloshBang The rework was to make her more unique, since Gibby had both fast heals and fast revives while in the dome.
Yeah but you don`t always have fast heal and fast revive with Giby, right ? And he was crap for 3 straight seasons, while Lifeline was always strong.
And Giby has the biggest hitbox in the game and slow movement animation, which makes him very easy to shot, which is a big thing. Lifeline was totally different.
And their skill set was totally different. And still Lifeline has higher pick rate compare to Giby.
I don`t mind the rework, don`t get me wrong. But i just don`t like the revive thing. For me its too much. And people even want her fast heal back, which will be a complete joke to start with it.
- @LordloshBang But when Gibby did have those abilities, it was in an invincible dome, and the fast heal applied to all teammates, not just him.
There was a lot of difference, but there was also a lot of similarity. Yeah Giby at one point was imba strong, but he deserved, because he was plain garbage for a lot of seasons. Every single one of his ability was very powerful, and still are.
Pushing him was a pain, cause he can just dome and ult, and his ultimate is fast as hell, nothing in common with Bangalore for example. :D
But still i can`t stand playing him, because of the slow animation movement, and his Gun Shield kinda throw my aim, when i ADS, probably because i`m not use to him and its different compare to other legends. :D
The rework is a fact, and we need a time to see if the Lifeline rework will be a good for her, and will bring it back at the competitive stage. I think Respawn is trying to change the usual suspects in there.
Until now, 2 legends was a must, and have like 100% pick rate, aka Wraith and Wattson. And the third pick was either Giby/Pathy or Caustic.They need to fix this and give different strategy and different playstyle than the current one.
