@iammrpickles5That kind of prove my point of having Evo/Purple Shield, Shield Batteries & Med Kits dropping every time for consistency with a 180 Secs cool down. Currently the Care Packages are dropping a six syringes/cells combination, along with random attachments and knockdown shield.
The whole map is filled with recharge tower. You got plenty of room to spam his ultimate and fill your entire squads with purple gear, which is very useful.
Purple are not common shields, like everyone like to make them.
Landing on Capacitor with good Lifeline is equal to landing with 3 purple shields, because of the 3 recharge towers.
You can`t have both, auto revive with a shield and on top of that, you can actually revive both teammates, and a fast heals.
Lifeline was very solid legend. She was the 3rd most picked Legend, and it was by far. She was 3rd most picked in season 4, and 3rd most picked in season 5.
I don`t know why they spend so much time completely reworking her. She was okay as it was.
Also she was heavily picked in ranked and i mean heavily.
Maybe the only reason this rework come was because of her pick rate in competitive, which was like zero in season 4/5.
But before that she was picked in tournaments. But legends like Octane, Mirage, Crypto, Bangalore, Bloodhound, never was any pick rate in competitive.
No way in a hell they will give her fast revive + the new passive with auto-revive and second teammate revive.
I think the way she is now, its have higher chance to get picked in tournaments/competitive, and her ranked pick rate will kinda stay the same, or maybe drop a bit by the lesser skilled players, but in pub her drop rate will drop for sure.
Does she needs a buff - absolutely no. She already get a complete rework, so don`t expect anything more for her.
Yeah but you don`t always have fast heal and fast revive with Giby, right ? And he was crap for 3 straight seasons, while Lifeline was always strong.
And Giby has the biggest hitbox in the game and slow movement animation, which makes him very easy to shot, which is a big thing. Lifeline was totally different.
And their skill set was totally different. And still Lifeline has higher pick rate compare to Giby.
I don`t mind the rework, don`t get me wrong. But i just don`t like the revive thing. For me its too much. And people even want her fast heal back, which will be a complete joke to start with it.
Yeah Giby at one point was imba strong, but he deserved, because he was plain garbage for a lot of seasons. Every single one of his ability was very powerful, and still are.
Pushing him was a pain, cause he can just dome and ult, and his ultimate is fast as hell, nothing in common with Bangalore for example. :D
But still i can`t stand playing him, because of the slow animation movement, and his Gun Shield kinda throw my aim, when i ADS, probably because i`m not use to him and its different compare to other legends. :D
The rework is a fact, and we need a time to see if the Lifeline rework will be a good for her, and will bring it back at the competitive stage. I think Respawn is trying to change the usual suspects in there.
Until now, 2 legends was a must, and have like 100% pick rate, aka Wraith and Wattson. And the third pick was either Giby/Pathy or Caustic.
They need to fix this and give different strategy and different playstyle than the current one.
She is already unique enough. She got a fast heal before, but still people complain and wanted more.
No way she will got a "touch" and double revive, and a fast heal. This would be ridiculous.
Gibraltar fast heal was nerfed, and its just inside his dome, and his hitbox is ridiculous big.
I want to add that, her passive can’t be OP (Over Powered) if you can counter it. So a few examples; Revenant can push with his Ultimate, Crypto Ultimate, Caustic Ultimate, Bangalore Ultimate, Gibraltar Ultimate, & even Loba’s Tactical.
Side Note: Overpowered. Overpowered (often abbreviated to OP) is a common term referring to a perceived lack of game balance. It is often used when describing a specific class in an RPG, a specific faction in strategic games, or a specific tactic, ability, weapon or unit in various games..
Dictionary definitions of overpowered say it is only usable as a verb, meaning "to overwhelm, defeat, or overcome," but it's not used that way when referring to video games. Instead, OP is an adjective gamers use to describe a particular character, class, ability, or other element of a game as too powerful.
In other words, y’all saying Lifeline is too powerful and you can’t beat her. Hmm..

@SolitaryMassacreHer passive revive isn't that great?? Now I know you are trolling... Being able to revive your teammate, with a 180 degree protective shield frees you up to either continue engaging in a gunfight or give you extra time to heal yourself back up. And if you can hold off the enemies long enough, your teammate will be back in the fight. All other legends have to make themselves vulnerable whenever they revive a teammate.
Thats why i didn`t even make myself the work to respond. This is the most OP passive in the entire history of the game. And you can add on top of that, that you can revive your second teammate in that time.
Most people are complaining, simply because they don`t understand the game, and all they care is their own good, they are not understanding this is a team orientated game, and team abilities from a legends is so important.
Thats why they are complaining hard time for the fast heal, because they were having a edge in the combat with the fast heal, when hit, run, heal, come back tactic ain`t working anymore. :D
