Lifeline mythic skin needs the Newcastle treatment
I really hope someone on the dev team sees this, because this feels like one of the biggest cosmetic issues with Lifeline right now.
My main issue is that Lifeline’s D.O.C. drone does not change appearance when her mythic skin is equipped, even though the mythic skin already has a unique D.O.C. design. Right now, the only time players really get to see that version of the drone is during her finisher. That feels like a huge missed opportunity, especially since D.O.C. is such a big part of Lifeline’s identity.
What makes this more frustrating is that it seems like this is already possible in the game. Newcastle’s small shield changes visually with certain skins, so there is already an example of skin-specific equipment visuals being supported. Because of that, Lifeline’s mythic skin feels like an oversight rather than something impossible to do.
I’m attaching images showing what I mean, including the base version and the version with the mythic skin equipped. The difference is clear, and the custom D.O.C. model honestly looks great. That is exactly why it is disappointing that it is almost never visible during normal gameplay.
I would make a similar argument for Crypto mains and his drone as well, but Lifeline stands out more to me because the custom D.O.C. look already exists and seems like it should be tied to the skin being worn.
Consider updating Lifeline’s mythic skin so that her D.O.C. drone matches it in normal gameplay. It would add a lot more value to the skin, make it feel more complete, and give it a unique gimmick. In my opinion, the finisher and the custom D.O.C. design are some of the strongest parts of the skin already, so letting that show up more often would make a big difference.
