I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, I feel a lot of the complaints about it was because players did not know and did not want to learn how to counter it. Then on the other hand I look at it as ok yea it was a little strong due to allowing the LL a good one that is fully guarded and peaks over and over like a Gibby bubble. A thermite on the ground at the shield countered it but it still allowed the lifeline to strafe shoot through the shield.
Being friends with the number 1 lifeline in the game on pc at the moment he has even stated to me that the shield was def overpowered and the kit needed a rework. This comes from someone with 45 thousand matches played on Lifeline. While this is 1 person's belief I tend to listen to that seeing all the experience he has playing that legend alone. When he broke down how it was broken and why it should be changed I understood which some of the things he expressed I name above. It allowed a major advantage for the lifeline and the person being res. A lot of times allowing a knock to happen multiple times would save the team because the Lifeline had endless shields blocking her and she could act as if she was in a Gibby dome. His only complaints about that legend at this time is how useless her ultimate is.
personally, I prefer having faster healing passive over the shield or the heal after reviving a teammate.
or make the DOC have an area of effect same as the heat shield which will give lifeline the ability to revive faster and her animation becomes a little faster ( which should be the norm ) and heal faster.
this way it will not be OP because it can be used with DOC only which is every 23 seconds to heal only.
so in this case lifeline player must deploy the drone first then initiate the revive
- hayhor4 years agoHero@maximas1986 Exactly what I thought you'd say. Why doesn't lifeline have octanes passive and just auto regen health anyway? Wouldn't that make the most sense for her as a passive? She can also keep the ability to auto pickup teammates. Then just rework her ultimate.
