@rockyboy1998 Maybe I've just had better luck with it. I also think the situations people use it in are typically less than ideal. A lot of people seem to think it's best used when your squad is all downed so you can pull a miraculous comeback, which is nice.... when it happens.
Where it performs much more reasonably is in 3 party battles where 1 or 2 of your squadmates are still up. If they can hold attention you can revive yourself amongst the chaos without distracting another teammate. That gives you the opportunity to level the playing field and get back in the fight. I get the feeling a lot of times that people try to "save" the self revive for when they "really need it". Even if your downed, have 2 squadmates still up, and the fight is over, picking yourself up gives your squad mates more time to heal and reload to prepare for another team approaching.
So yeah, while it's not the greatest, I think people would respect the gold knockdown a little more if they treated it like the tool it is and don't expect it to be a miraculous playmaker.

@blkarmphoenix That’s actually a great point, I’ve never really looked at it like that.
It just tends to be bad luck for me whenever I use it.
I still think it could do with a tweak, making it silent would be great at a minimum!

- @rockyboy1998 Or give it a cloak like mirage reviving. That'd be alright.
- @blkarmphoenix Again, another great point!
