Lifeline Buffs
I think Lifeline should have her Revive speed increased since it's being overshadowed by Gibraltar and his dome shield. And move her shield that she gets while reviving to her heal drone while it's ...
They both have the same revive speed. Also not what Lifeline needs.
And by reworking her ult. Might as well turn it from a care package into a respawn beacon. The respawn beacon will still have the 3 supply bins but there will always be a weapon + ammo and one attachment for it at random if using to respawn dead teammates. The other two supplies will be random heals or gear. If no teammate is dead, the weapon supply won't be in the slot but there's still a chance it might be weapon attachments in it.
Furthermore, her ult needs updating so it drops both Sniper Extended Mags and Light Extended Mags.
Interesting idea on the ult rework being a respawn beacon, hadn't thought of that. However I think if they had a legend that could do this then they need to remove the added respawn beacons this season, they seem to be everywhere lol.
A couple ideas my friends and I discussed about ult rework for lifeline was a ranged revive using the drone. You could activate like a hand held scanner and aim it your downed teammate then initiate the revive. The ranged revive takes just as long as a Knockdown Shield lvl 4 revive, however the Lifeline player is still able to move around and fight.
Another idea could be a weaker version of the area insta heal ult that was in the Dummies mode. It would have an activation time similar to something like Bloodhound when he activates his ult.
I am in agreement that Lifeline's issue is her ultimate, I don't think any changes to the care package would ever justify it as a useful ult. Other than maybe adding the gold weapons back in, or maybe a possibility for one of the gold regular weapons to be there (gold R-301, Prowler, etc.)
Anyway curious to hear thoughts on the other ideas.
