Lifeline is ruining the game
Isnt anybody going to say something about lifeline? getting a knock doesnt mean anything against a team with lifeline
Forum Discussion
@LordloshBang just stop whining and complaining they are not gonna change lifeline.
I don't like that AOD seems to be arguing this from the point of view of an overly aggressive solo player but he does have a point. The revive is a problem as it is. The revive in its current form has two many benefits and no drawbacks.
Strengths:
-Revives a teammate without Lifeline needing to abandon the fight
-Provides a shield for both the Lifeline and revived player
-Can be spammed.
Weaknesses:
-Lifeline is slowed when she starts the reviving animation.
I'd be in favor of two ideas.
1. Remove the shield from the revive so Lifeline can only pull it off behind cover.
2. Attach the revive to her drown which would put it on a cooldown while slowing her down less. Might allow the drone to heal the target to double the hp or even fully heal the target when the revive is completed. Might have to shorten the cooldown on the drone as well.
I feel either of these changes would allow her to stay strong while not being able to use her revive too recklessly.
@heme725Yes its spammable but at least you cant res 2 ppl at the same time with it, the second one you need to res like everybody else.
I've played a lot after the rework and i never had problems because of that passive. If i see that revive from a distance i know that 80% of the time its a free kill, shoot when the person gets ressed and thats it. Saying she's too strong with golden backpack, then why arent you saying that golden backpack + golden knockdown shield is too OP too? Right now her passive is the only great thing about her, drone heal is at most OK and ult is useless unless you cant find enemies as ult guarantees at least 1-2 squads will come after you.
@tommor1988 You simply can't compare a gold backpack/knockdown shield combo to lifelines revive/gold backpack lol.
Firstly the knockdown is a one off if you manage to do it successfully.
Secondly the odds of successfully pulling off a knockdown shield revive is extremely rare.
Meanwhile lifeline can keep reviving her teammates with a decent amount of hp/shields.
Yes you can "just rush" or "shoot at that them when the shield drops" but if you're being shot at by a player who's very much alive you're not going to just ignore them lol.
The smart play is simply to just kill lifeline first but if we're being honest plans rarely come together in apex due to the sheer number of threats/variables that come with a fight.
@MandatoryIDtagI know that, it was just an example. Another thing is, i know Lifeline can kind of spam it but the argument that the shield makes it immpossible to kill downed players is wierd. We have Gibby too, yes his shield has cooldown and he doesnt shoot but he has faster revive than Lifeline and after that, both him and ressed player are still behind the shield. Its just wierd that when Gibby does it, its OK. Keep in mind that Gibby has a good passive, good tactical and good ult but as i mentioned earlier, Lifeline has a great passive now, OKish tactical and semi useless ult.
