Lifeline nerf sucks. Respawn is killing the game nerfing to many legends.
I think sometime Respawn have not idea they are killing the game. Stop nerfing so drastically the legends. Lifeline just need a cool down, not remove the res shield.

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.
@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.
