Lifeline is ruining the game

Isnt anybody going to say something about lifeline? getting a knock doesnt mean anything against a team with lifeline

It removes point of having midrange weapons like r-301 against lifeline because it is already pretty hard to knock down enemy player alone in medium distance, and it is impossible to reach them in time. dont really affect three stack teams but * on solo players forcing us to make bad plays to finish fight

while update itself was unique and nice, it just provokes overly agressive gameplay that average players hate to play against because they're not good enough to do it

    @tziiware Totally disagree here. If you knock someone mid-range, you have multiple options to choose from. Saying that knocking someone mid range with a lifeline in team is 'pointless' tells me you just try and rush them most times and die...

    A viable option for mid range elimination is knocking, not rushing forward, but have the 5-8 seconds of revive time to get closer and put pressure on the 1/2 others in the team until you finally reach them. This way you can assess the situation with more variables in your favor instead of rushing. Like for instance the position of all members, their aim, their health status, are there other teams nearby and so on

      You may disagree, but he is 100% right.

      First of all, in order to down someone, you will probably receive damage as well, so you need to heal, most of the time with bat, which takes the same time as auto-revive, which is 5-6 seconds.

      And if you wait, he will just cover on something(this game is full up with cover) and just heal and you obviously did nothing.

      Also when you push, this means you are moving forward without cover, and there is a big chance to get way more damage than you will inflict, because obviously they will be on the cover.

      In a such fast paced game you don`t have much time to think, even 1 seconds in this game is the difference between life and death.

      Auto-revive is all wrong for million reason we already stated.

        @LordloshBang  Who says you can't push having cover as well? If your full team pushes in the open in the face of the enemy that's your fault. Ever heard of flanking your opponents? You can counter the autorevive in so many ways. Gibby and Bang's ults, Caustic o Wraith's abilities, Loba's bracelet, Octane's jumpad. You have so many options to easily get rid of the team. Another one is to always have at least 2 grenades so you can throw them at the right time to knock again the guy that got revived or zone Lifeline to make her impossible to reach her teammate. I see plenty of possibilities so i don't understand all of this hate to lifeline.
