Re: Lifeline 'buff'

@LordloshBang So I just played last night.

Her care package is still worthless. Always gives you * you don't need.

Her passive revive isn't that great. You still have to go to the teammate. I thought it would be more like Crypto's drone where you released the drone and either you flew it to the teammate, or it went automatically. Why does the shield still pop up? Can her drone be shot? If so, that is stupid. No protection for the downed teammate. I would sacrifice her fast heals for something better, my complaint is she is still in the same spot as before. It wasn't a buff, but a complete redesign that basically traded things and didn't add to her character.

The shield for reviving is pointless. You can easily get snipped from a third party when reviving. Something that would have made her unique is revive with a full dome - and give the downed player full health. Then I would have understood removing fast heals.

And as @StealthRelgal mentions. Her tactical is ALSO pointless. Takes FOREVER to heal you, and won't even heal your entire team if below 25 health. What a great medic. Can't even heal her team. This is where I (being lifeline) am like "I have fast heals, you guys take the drone", and welp now I don't have that.

This was no way a buff to lifeline. It completely ruined the ONLY good thing she had going for her. I would have been happier with seeing her get a dome for reviving, and giving her downed player full health when revived. Something that actually helps. If they can shoot the drone or teammate when getting revived, its pretty much useless, plus you still have to run over to them anyhow.


What do you even mean by "its just inside his dome"? That is BETTER than all the time. You know how many times I kill people from a distance while they are healing? Gibby is annoying af when I break almost everyone on the team and then I see his dome and everyone is back to full shields and health and I am not even halfway there - plus now I won't have full health and shields when I get there cause they took away my fast heals.

I agree that she needed a buff, but this wasn't a buff. It was a trade off. And I would rather have fast heals over all the "new" things they gave her, because they aren't that great.

    @SolitaryMassacre Her 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.

    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..

    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

    I am complaining because I literally just played a game yesterday where I started to revive my teammate, and the second I left, she got killed. So yeah, not that great. In that same game, if I had my fast heals, I would have one. Took FOREVER to pop off a shield battery.

    And really Meddler? ALL other legends are vulnerable when they revive a teammate? Let me help you:
    Bangalore: Can pop a very large dense smoke screen giving cover of 360 degrees. Can apply to any teammate doing the reviving too

    Caustic: Can lay traps (or ult) to cover the entire area in a toxic fog that not only gives you cover 360 degrees but ALSO hurts anyone coming close to you. Can apply to any other teammate doing the reviving

    Mirage: He's f*cking invisible

    Gibby: Gets a FULL DOME of protection and 25% revive speed


    Lifeline gets a whimpy little shield in front of her. It isn't even 180 degrees.

    Go do your homework man..

    Lordlosh, what you mean the "run heal come back" tactic ain't working anymore? Do you even play this game? That is the ONLY tactic EVERYONE does whether or not they are lifeline.

    I will admit being able to revive both players at once is a nice feature, but that won't always be the case. If both your teammates are down, 9/10 times they will get finished off anyhow. So this really isn't a plus.

    I am not also saying they were horrible, I am saying they weren't the trade off for 25% fast heals. There were seriously a million other BETTER options to give her a buff while keeping fast heals.




    Not to even mention. I would bait people with the revive with lifeline. They would see her shield and try to rush. I would quit reviving, and drop em instantly. I would do that purposely. Can't even do that anymore because they KNOW nobody is there reviving them.
