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 people one after another after another. And it's to over powered.

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.

@TheApexLegendNub Yeah. Putting an explicit cooldown (with a gauge) on Lifeline's rezbot is a great idea. It makes sense to cap her at two consecutive uses. I'd increase the price of the gold bag, too.For me, the strongest evidence is seeing my Lifeline teammates finish with zero kills and little damage. If a Lifeline can back off, and let her teammates 2v3 or 1v3, that single "Goldyline" play is worth more than a whole squadmate, and that's clearly OP.

@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!

@alexm120115 Lifeline can get annoying in arenas, but she is not broken. Arenas is a great environment to abuse her. I personally do not think the gold backpack should be available at all in Arenas, as this would entirely fix the issue. That way, there is still an immediate cost to lifeline reviving you in Arenas.

@papahandsoap I agree that Lifeline’s auto revive by itself isn’t too broken but with a gold bag its extremely broken... just remove the gold bag entirely from Arenas and I might start playing again but even then its just going to be a sweat fest without objectives

@TinyTim6991I do agree Lifeline was amazing during Solos with her fast heals, I just want Lifeline to have her manual revive back (with a shield but instead of it being invincible the strength could be based off of her teammate’s knockdown shield levels)

The auto revive mechanic is ok on a game like Rogue Company but on Apex Legends its too broken espeically in Arenas where there are only 3 players on each team.... if they had teams of 5-6 (or a game mode with limited/unlimited revives) it would be fine but when its just 1 player trying to clutch the fight or a 2 v 3 it’s incredibly broken... the gold backpack just needs completely removed from Arenas and then it wouldn’t be quite as bad

@TuxTart116 hitting the drone used to cancel the revive, now its a "no matter what you do, you cannot stop it unless the player dies" which Lifeline just puts a mag into your back.

@Midnight9746 Then move fast, coordinate with your team make strategic strikes, this is a game about strategy after all.

@TuxTart116 Its hard to work with your teammates when they're both knocked and dead and enemy Lifeline keeps mindlessly reviving over and over.

I was more annoyed when I found out her passive works in boxing arena XD now that's annoying. But yeah lifeline is the new meta for arenas. I'd maybe want it to be so that the revives would take longer, maybe as long as a self revive that way there's an adequate chance to fight back without it being an infinite 3 v 1

@Adendon I didn’t realize it worked in the boxing ring too... Auto Revive just needs completely removed from the game, give lifeline back her manual revive with a shield but make it based off her teammates equipped knockdown shields so it isn’t invincible like it used to be but to be 100% honest I never had an issue with her shield being invincible because the lifeline had to physically take the time to revive like it should be done instead of mindlessly tapping over and over and over... I refuse to play Arenas until either Auto Revive or the Gold Backpack are removed

@alexm120115 All legends have big or small counter strategies. For example lifeline must be either focused to get down first. If can't you can also try to isolate from team by poking. And the old time classic. The second you down someone you all rush to win the 3v2 before the time of the ress.

@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.

@Midnight9746 Bro I 100% agree with you I hate it when I play arenas and I know 2 and then go back to heal just to know that the full squad is alive again with full shields and health like it’s not really fair tbh she needs a limit of revives

@lops3004 Just removing the Gold Backpack would be enough in arenas.
