This is so rare that it's irrelevant and it doesn't begin to touch lineline's issues.

Her strongest skill is her rez shield, but she has almost nothing to help you win the final circle.

1. Her drone is redundant with health all over the map. (especially dead enemies)

2. Her ult has massive RNG and is also redundant with loot on the map and on enemy bodies you kill. The only utility it has late is to maybe bait the last 3 squads to fight if you spawn it and run away.

Right now she is basically a noob trap... her strength is to support a stealthy playstyle where a team that doesn't fight can (maybe) get armored up before the final circle just to lose it because they can't win a fight.

Here are some ideas to make lifeline relevant in late game...

a. make her rez CLOAK instead of shield - this might actually be useful in the end circle and would certainly make her more viable

b. make her drops always contain one legendary (still doesn't help final circle combat directly, but this would make them somewhat useful)

c. make her drone tether increase med-item use speed by 50% (obv not stacking with yellow backpack)

It really is very rare for the heal bot to heal enemies, I see people only using it when they have 1) killed everyone and need to heal. 2) in a safe place away from enemies.
I wouldnt call her drone redundent as it definitly has its uses such as when youre healing health with the drine you can save time by shielding at the same time
Her ult is really useful when you havnt got good loot, guaranteed 1 purple item, and with how quickly she can get it with accelerants you can be fully geared before the final zone. And no to legendary items, they are so powerful it would totally in balance the game everyone would have gold gear rather than a rare few.
lifelines best quality is a shield when she revives. And even that isnt great as it instantly goes down once you pick your teammate up you are free to be shot again and most likely down the team mate you just picked up.
yeah, enemies are enemies, but thats what makes this game unforgiving.
And no to cloaking, that sounds awful. A shield is enough it should just persist a little after res to allow you and the teammate to back off

  But you can already get this.. play gibraltar. pop his shield, res your teammate, and enjoy a superior shield to regroup in. Plus, you get a big dmg ult to rain down death instead of an RNG loot crate that doesn't help you lategame .
  This is the problem with lifeline. Her drone is most useful in the first few minutes of the game, then falls off. her rez shield is inferior to gibraltar's shield. her ult is decent early but becomes useless because you already get what you need from killing enemies and the drop RNG means the more loot you do get from enemies, the less likely the drop will contain something you actually need.

    Your problem man, is that you want legends to be strong no matter when, but that's not the idea behind the game, different legends have different utilities and consequently different peaks of usability, thats how the game is supposed to be, also that's why there is no solo/duo option, because it's simply impossible to make each character unique and with the same potential through the whole game, also that's mainly why your character's abilities are less important than you shooting and planning skills
