Just noticed that it auto heals health instead of shields in TDM. Wth even?!? So now she doesn't have a passive nor a tactical. There's just no way! Or am I missing something?
What an awful mode. Wish they'd make a mode where Valk and Seer have no passive and tactical.
It's btw the same on all three modes! What is going on with the Lifeline nerfing!?? She's useless on all Mixtape modes!
Also a gigantic Caustic nerf as this affect his ult too. Just got gassed, steps out of gas, starts auto healing. Wattson players on the other hand should be happy, huge buff on Control in particular.
@CCbathwaterI really hate this change. Another reason to buff Lifeline and Caustic!
@CCbathwaterThe auto shield healing was sooooo much better, with the health healing, this mode (or rather collection of modes) will die just like arenas. Also now Octane has no penalty for stimming the entire game.
Ya'll in this thread just making me glad I quit.
What dev thought this was a good idea? How did this get past playtesting?
@CCbathwaterI'm admittedly a LL hater but this change is bad for everyone. I realize they like to test things but this just doesn't make sense. And it's confusing. I've been cracked so many times and forget to shield heal.
The only positive is you can charge a sentinel now.
I don't know.. I kind of like the change. I'll have to play more to get a better feel for it, but from my matches last night, it was an improvement for me. They seem to have drastically reduced the delay for the regen, so my health was coming back almost as soon as I was done taking damage, and a battery only takes 5 seconds to pop, as opposed to the 8 seconds for a med kit, if memory serves me. I pretty much always pop a batt before I use med/syringe in BR, so I'm just more used to using shield items in combat. I was having fun with it last night. Even the Octane's that just want to stim all over the place now, are just hindering themselves with a reduced HP pool, and are easy kills, since the regen isn't quite fast enough to keep up. Had a couple of them trying that nonsense last night, and it didn't work out very well for them, Lol!
One thing I didn't think to test last night. I wonder if you use LL's health drone in tandem with the base regen, will you get boosted health regen speed? That could be pretty nifty, if so
@hayhorForget? How about having no time. In the old system you got rewarded for out damaging people, if you hit them for flesh and you only took shield damage, you were infront. Now you have to shield, they shield but also auto heal flesh. Why? No reward for out-hitting your opponent. And if you kill someone and they only do shield damage on you, now you have to run for 20 seconds because his teammate is chasing you across the map, and there is no time to shield up. They literally introduced 3rd partying to Mixtape 🤣 At least I play Wraith, so I void and stand a chance.
I spend half the game shielding now, where before I spend the game shooting.
