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...

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.
- @Midnight9746 Are you suggesting that Lifeline has to buy her passive while Gibby gets gun shield for free and Octane gets unlimited health regen for free? Okay then.
- @CCbathwater Lifeline and Bloodhound are undeniably broken, Wattson only has a high win rate because shes being exploited in ranked with portable respawn beacons to farm RP/Badges and Gibralter is in a good spot imo although on the strong side... whats funny is Daniel Klein is planning on BUFFING Gibralter... its ridiculous
@CCbathwaterThe issue isn't that she's better or worse than anyone else, its that she's fully capable of turning around a fight without any real skill from the player. She just taps the res, and if they are far enough back, has the two up and going before the other team can readily push. Its not dependent on her player's skill, its just a simple button press. Granted up close she can be fairly easily stopped, but that takes away precious seconds where she is shooting at you without you shooting at her. (Grenades also take a second or two to deploy and re-equip weapons from)
She doesn't need a nerf, she needs her old kit back. The fast heals and shield were fair, because it took her out of the fight for a little bit.- @Arkuos16 Fast heals were the most op passive in the game. It was so good people played her despite her tactical, ult, and rez shield revives being garbage at the time. Imagine a lifeline fast heal batting red shields, or popping cells with gold shields pretty much immediately. She would pub stomp even more than she does already.
