A message for DEVELOPERS OF APEX LEGENDS about Lifeline

I want to start with this.
We still play this useless legend (Lifeline) only of nostalgia because...
We (Lifeline mains) have played her a long time now and we remember the time, oh yea the time when we healed in the storm, when we had the res shield every time we wanted, we could use it to cover ourselves because there was no other option since Lifeline escape chances are zero or even attack chances are now zero.


We remember that Lifeline was the heart of this game, Lifeline users do not (q) like Wraith or use grapple like Pathfinder or jump pad to escape from a fight, WE go straight in the middle of a fight and try to protect our teammates and we fight with everything we have to do that. But you took out everything we had, how we supose to protect our teammates now. Now you see some statistics and well, you know the rest. You going to nerf her again by making her hitbox even bigger because you say, has a 1on1 win rate high.


Yes, we have a 1on1 win rate high because we are OLD players, we were used to fighting in the middle of 2-3 teams while protecting our teammate and ourselves, we are used to combating, we do not (q) out of a battle, we fight till is over or end. We have real skills that make us win 1on1 battles. But what if a similar skill comes with Gibraltar or Wraith in my face now? I will luse it because 1 is a tank with real abilities and extras and the other one can run to live and fight another day while I have nothing to fight them back.


So, I have some simple questions for you developers.
Who asked you to nerf Lifeline to the point she will be useless, unpicked?
What will happen if I can't play a useless legend with all my time, money, and love that I invested in that Legend?
I tell you what, I'll play her for NOSTALGIA only until I get bored of this game.

    @Cheese9Man lifeline's life is hard ☹️
    playing lifeline is not a fun thing to do at all, everyone sees lifeline as a moving loot vault.
    most of the time I run out of shields and health because my teammates keep asking for it and when I need it they just turn their backs on me @Koochi-Q.
    when someone asks for ammo I drop 60 minimum but when I ask I get 20 XD
    playing her is stressful and very demanding, lifeline have to fight, defend,attack, keep an eye on teammate's health and status,rush for that revive or health drone, and all of this with no defense ability and nothing in return, no way to run when things go wrong, well.....she can run but she won't get too far when the only thing she can do is deploy the health drone to heal behind a rock or a wall standing still waiting to be killed ....that's only if her drone is ready and she didn't just use it to heal an octane who suddenly decided to Rambo a full squad without even notifying his teammates.
    another problem with lifeline revive is how vulnerable she becomes when hitting that revive button, similar problem existed with using the health drone but they fixed it by making the drone deployment much faster.
    but reviving a teammate in a CQC situation is not worthy.
    I've been playing lifeline since season 1 but recently I've started using mirage and actually am doing very well with him, his revive is even better than lifeline's.
    I can use his ultimate two times in a single fight ....yeah it's that quick, his tactical is not less effective than his ultimate.

    many times I revived my teammate with a golden backpack with enemies around, but with lifeline revive...everyone within a 100-meter radius will turn to that revive and the lifeline who did it and start shooting.
    so yeah lifeline needs a lot of improvement and she will not survive long without getting some changes to her kit.
    I posted an idea earlier that maybe they can reward lifeline players who rush for that revive with 2 cells of shield and one or two bars of health when she does a revive.
    just to make the risk of reviving a teammate in a tight situation worthy.
    or give her back the 25% faster healing and nerf the healing drone again

    The solution is to make Lifeline how it used to be in season 3. That's it. Was a very balanced legend, no need to change her into rubish.

    Wraith had  3 or 4 nerfs and Lifeline had 5-6. Lifeline in Season 1 was considered the Legendary Legend. She was the heart of the game, every team had a Lifeline in the team who was in the middle of every fight. Lifeline is the most nerfed legend in the history of this game. Check facts.

    @xttrust "Facts".  Laughs at you in Caustic.

    I have said it before I will do so again. My friend is the number 1 lifeline on pc in the world. This is a lifeline with over 45k matches played and over 115k kills. Most nerfs made he completely agreed with and said they did need a nerf. This is a die-hard day 1 lifeline all kills on his account are purely lifeline other than 1 legend where he has 500 kills on them. When you have a vet elder of the legend at hand even say things are broken or overpowered that should be considered IMO. The only major thing he ever complains about is the ultimate being useless after so many circles closes. This is not to say his input is correct in everyone's mind. His feedback for me though is very helpful to understand why he wants those changes or why he feels they should be made being a pro lifeline. Who does not have a huge following on twitch. He is just a guy who has a passion for the game and the love for his legend. So when he can admit that things are overpowered or need changed i look at things from his angle as to why he wishes for these changes. 

    This is also a lifeline who is overly aggressive and 9/10 times he wins those fights despite being a support legend. He easily sticks res on anyone down and protects them till they are up. He uses his aggressive game-play with his support game-play. Also want to state he had no influence on any changes made due to he is not well known but by the few pro players who do know him. So his voice while it does matter just is not heard. So I stand by his thought process on nerfs to this legend.

    Just because he only played Lifeline he didn't had to say he is overpowered. Tell your friend to play other legends at least 10% how much he played Lifeline and he will definitely will understand how weack and useless her abilities have become now. This is me. A lifeline main with 15k+ match's only with Lifeline from season 0. Not playing as a PRO, just as a casual gamer after work. But still i can make a point if i see that they made a big mistake changing lifeline in season 4. Then they try to fix it but failed. So my fix for her will be.

    Bring back lifeline from season 3. Thank you.
