@Kinesis862 So I have no problems with Newcastle, I can keep a lot of people safe. And the current buff makes things even better. For me he is definitely the better lifeline

@OkulteKeule97Interested in what level of play you are at? Because maybe its great in professional play where people actually keep a distance and don't just suicide charge constantly. But in the average player play Newcastle is not only incredibly rare to see (just like gibby) but also gets ran over constantly if they attempt a revive.
For me, he is objectively worse than lifeline, who can not only provide cover (making it a 2v3 rather than 1v3 for your teammate), and provide free health to the person being revived. I have yet to see a day where moving an ally to cover was something that the downed person could not just do on their own by walking with their knockdown up.
