Lifeline needs a serious rework.

Lifeline is just not the Legend I fell in love with. In a 1v1 lifeline has nothing to give her an edge, or has anything that gives her the ability to hold her own in a one on one fire fight, other than just straight up skill. 

Like other legends, she relies merely on the users ability to aim, strafe, situational awareness (which you have made obsolete with your reveal meta), crouch and land shots. Unlike, Rev's silence, Valks tac bombs, mirage's decoys, gibs bombs and shield, BH's scan, Wraith's phase, Fuse's tac, Maggie's tac, her fast run with shotties and wallhack, yadda yadda, you get the point. She relies on nothing to fight other than the weapon in her hand. 

Yes, I know she is a support legend but so are others with some kind of ability to help in ways other than just firing a weapon. 

Now - LL's ultimate seems useless at this point. I used to get a purple shield out of her ultimate 85 % of the time if not higher. This season about 70% of the time I drop her Ult, I am receiving blue shield. I thought LL's ult was supposed to be "HIGH TIER" loot?? 

You have removed her shield during rezz, She can no longer move her tac drone, her Ult drops garbage over half the time and is now the only Ult that takes as long as hers does to be ready to use. Compared to Mirages broken Ult that is ready to go in less than a minute after drop. Some matches are over before I even have LL's ult ready. 

There is no incentive to use her anymore. Especially with all the bad teammates that back out immediately once knocked. Leaves a support player left to fend alone with abilities that do not assist her when solo. 

Please rework LL and make her great again. 

Or better yet - Seeing as how Respawn loves to give free wallhacks away like gum out of grandmas purse - as the last 5 legends created have all gotten a free wallhack of some sorts (why Maggie needed a second wallhack passive when running faster with shot guns seems a lot better than some of the other passives out there (poor pathfinder) was beyond me! 

Lets give LL a free wallhack too - why not, everyone else being created is getting them. How about every time LL uses her tac drone, she gets a free wallhack for the duration of her tac. What do you think Respawn. Too much? Doesn't seem fair?? You guys don't seem to know much else these days. So lets not stop with Fuse, Valk, Seer, Ash, Maggie....keep the free hacks going while you ban others for the using the same. 

Lifeline as been one of the originals since launch. Why do you guys keep abandoning the characters that we fell in love with. You only seem to stack up on abilities for new legends. MLGA!! 

P.S. Can we give reveal meta and wallhacks a break now. You have stretched it beyond BH in a way that should feel to your team - embarrassing.

    Its all too easy for a Mirage main to talk about how easy it should be for a lifeline to 1v1 because she has a heal drone. Umm, does Mirage know what a 1v1 is? This is a legend whos abilities are the exact opposite of that. I would love to 1v1 a mirage....but that rarely is an option, considering he pulls his Ult and 1v1 turns into a 1v8? 1v7? whichever it is. But yes, Lifelines Ult getting one a match of "high tier defense gear"  - blue shield, blue knock down shield and a phoenix kit is far superior to Mirages 1v7 ult which he receives every 45 seconds or so...maybe less?

    I agree, Bang could use some love. Her ult is useless considering the power of Gibs ult and how fast it rains down. Bangs ult is laughable to avoid. Just move a couple feet in-between bomb placements and wala....no damage taken. And I agree, with Respawns new forward fast moving reveal meta wallhack future of Apex - bangs smoke is rendered useless. 

    What happened to, I believe John L said - "in general, it showed the devs how scans killed "rat" plays, and make "game sense" obsolete."    / "While we can't solve the pain points of the reveal meta in a hotfix, I'm looking forward to jamming out linger-term solutions with the rest of the design team." 

    Now those comments were made after Seer. Yet even Maggie got some kind of real-time wallhack as well. And now I hear Seer may be getting a buff!? I took those comments as more of a "yeah, wallhacks are ruining the the way the BR should be played" - kinda thing.... "lets fix it."  But still the real-time wallhacks continue. Useless comments to make if you have no intention to follow through. 

    Just come out and admit it Devs - the future of Apex will be exactly that, real-time wallhacks, until every legend has some ability to see every body in real time. I guess game sense is not as important to respawn devs as I thought based on JL's words above.

    @XxColdFangxXi have 8K on my banga , i know about her abilities.
    The abilities, she has since day one ... not being touched by anyone ...
    cmon, a defensive airstrike for an attack player char ... gimme a break.
    i also have 1K on life, i guess it  would be not that much if the char wasnt playable for me.

    Oops, my bad!

    Was wanting to show the difference of how lifeline in a 1v1  is very different from others who have abilities to aid them...such as Mirage's Ult, Rev's tac, Seer's....well. 

    My apologies.
