Lifeline is broken!!

Lifeline needs a nerf bad! In arenas she can just heal with the gold bag over and over again. She needs a cool down time between her drones. Like a 20 second cool down or something. She can revive pe...

@alexm120115 It 10000000000000000000% needs a cap, knocked a Lifeline's teammate 3 times for both players, and couldn't win because she kept tapping and healing with gold backpack - this NOT FUN AT ALL!

I mean follow through with your kills like most people do. =P Why you are not instantly pushing a team low on heals with 1 knocked is in no form a lifeline problem but instead a player strategy problem.

@E9ine_AC both players being revived were on opposite sides of me, they were a Valk and a Path.

If I knock Path, and tried to finish him off, he puts up the knockdown shield as Lifeline shoots me in the back, so I try to kill him during the revive phase, but Lifeline and Valk would be an issue. I knock Valk, and reknock Path, and Lifeline just goes and taps on of them back up, shoots at me while going over to the other to tap them back up.

The problem is, my teammates were killed, and I can't "thirst" anyone, when they pull out that knockdown shield and I'm getting hit in the back by one player, and another player is half way picked back up with a golden backpack.

I used to think the Dev's removing Lifeline's rev shield was uncalled for, however this no-skill-required revive is more "manageable" but interrupting a revive doesn't seem to be easy. I can shoot at the person, and they still get revived - even if I hit the drone.

You may be thinking, "why not kill Lifeline?" If I were to go directly for her, (and I tried), both Valk and Path would be back up and back in my face, keeping her safe.

It was an endless cycle of "haha, can't touch this" - and arenas shouldn't be about keeping a 3v1 constantly alive just because the team of 3 has a healer.

  Yeah, let's nerf Lifeline again. She's just marginally better than Wattson and Rampart. We shall not stop our hate campaign until she is worse than the two. Then we can go back to play the game with legends in perfect balance, like Gibby, Octane, and Bloodhound.
  Anyway, that there's an "issue" in Arenas is just tough, shouldn't get to effect abillities in BR mode.

    @CCbathwater I think it be better if she has to buy that ability and have a max of 3 auto revives.

@E9ine_AC Saying push a team because of a knockdown is suggesting you take no damage in that fight as well. If you have to back up and heal by the time youre done healing the downed player is probably all but up and healing as well. Your team can push but its still a 2v2 in that situation and pretty much puts you at no advantage if someone on your team needs to heal. Even if you dont take damage its a 2v3 which is a huge advantage but do i risk exposing to be knocked as well just to finish a downed player so lifeline cant revive them? Everything you said, I said, and everyones saying is situational and more times than not lifelines reviving can even make that teams situation favor them by the opposing team moving from cover to push the knockdown and get a knockdown themselves.
