Lifeline nerf sucks. Respawn is killing the game nerfing to many legends.

I don’t think that this nerf was really all that drastic. I’ve played a few games with lifeline recently and the buffs to her tactical and ultimate do compensate for the passive nerf fairly well. And you’ve got to admit, the res shield was pretty overpowered and frustrating to those who could do nothing against it.

I can't understand why they nerfed lifeline, I'm so happy that I play a trash character like Rampart so we just get ignored by the dev team, everytime I go up against lifelines with rez shield last season I just peaked my cover and shot the drone once, it cancels the rez I don't under stand, after the rez is canceled its just a straight gibby bubble lite, except she has to lose a teammate to do it.

We learned to fight against gibby bubble right its a shotgun off, who has better reaction time/ping/juking in and out the shield wins. I just don't get why lifeline needed to get that nerf, but I guess once the devs caved to the screaming people who just want killing and rushing in the game all the dominoes fell. You saw it in the Wattson nerf, then Gibby rez fell, Caustic now Lifeline. Anything that required thoughts outside of "Kill em', kill em', kill em'," is just gonna get nerfed cause of the complainers. Walk around the caustic trap? Avoid the fence? Use the fact that the Gibby is stuck in place and get better position for a re-engage? Nah.

LOL at whoever think Lifeline was nerfed. She is actually getting a huge buff with tactical/ultimate buff, as well as no LP.

Her passive was garbage unfair, and to the guy above me that say, learn how to counter i will tell you, learn how to revive, not mindlessly push a Q, and get a free cover and take someone deserved kill. Instead revive tactically, and you are still able to be in the fight, which is a HUGE DPS boost. You can read, go check the stats about it.

Lifeline user should be happy they get such buffs, and they still let you have the auto-revive, even if its without the shield.

You either have shield and respawn manually, or you have auto and respawn without it, its that simple.

If you wanna talk big hit that @ button big boy.

You might just be someone who might want to look at COD or Counter-Strike, there aren't abilities in that game for you to be mad about. Again it's just a clash of people who want no abilities and people who want defined abilities. Everything is a potential DPS boost, ramparts passive, repositioning to high ground with loba/wraith/horizon/octane/pathfinder, wallhacks from bloodhound/crypto, slows/damage/stun from Caustic/Bang/Gibby/Crypto/Wattson.

If you allow a lifeline to full rez her teammate then it's your fault, if octane pads over your head and gets high ground on you then win the fight it's your fault, so on and so forth. You have to adapt to the game. What do you do when Gibby throws down his shield, what do you do when wraith q's out, how do you react to a wraith running at you in q, do you expect that she is trying to kidnap. How do you counter that?

Do I deserve to win a kill if another character's ability saves them? If you think so then try warzone. Balancing abilities is important but being mad that a medic character can auto rez is kinda crazy when we got people flying out here, people with drones and hand mounted nade launchers.

@LordloshBangHer abilities have been improved, sure. I just don't see why the shield had to go.

You also forget that everyone plays how they want and most of them rush others solo, so as a Lifeline with the shield, it was legit one of the few things that clutched fights.

Now with Valk in the picture, it's easier to counter her. So her losing the shield wasn't needed. Her losing it was so noobs would stop complaining and pour more money into the game.

At this point, my point is that Respawn/EA needs to stop nerfing the skill ceiling just to fit the skill level of a few players who refuse to get better at the game.

Also you tag someone by hitting "quick reply", or @<Their name>, like countering Lifeline, it isn't hard.

You also say do things tactical... Eh?

What happens when you or someone else knocks a player? You or they t h i r s t, usually. What does that mean? Well... This:

Player1 knocked Player2
Player1 killed Player2

You don't get mercy most of the time. Being able to crawl away is luck these days. Either the person killing you got distracted or was 3rd partied. Lifeline's revive shield comes into play here. This is where she can bring you back into the fight, and prevent the loss of you or another teammate. Without the shield, she needs map cover, which most of it is open space. You'll spend more time in a deathbox, than you would of if they left her revive alone. Even if you defend as a Lifeline, your teammates can't defend themselves while being revived. It's either get revived or use the knockdown shield. It's super easy to target the knocked player, and then get Lifeline, or kill the knocked before Lifeline even gets to them.

Have you seen teams without a Lifeline? They lose their teammates all the time, but they use abilities like jumppads, smoke, bubbles, portals to help keep the knocked alive. Those who can't relocate the teammate try their best to defend them. Lifeline's a combat medic, her shield makes sense, and makes losing one easier to manage.

You probably like her shield being gone because you couldn't counter Lifeline teams. Be honest.
