I want the lifeline shield back.

@RockDokRockI didn't say they get out of jail for free, but that it takes zero skill to use when you're in trouble. Lifeline shielded auto-revive wasn't a get-out-of-jail card either, far from it.
Well, you play Caustic? How is clicking a button for a gas grenade a "skill", or popping a trap, when your teammate is down and you want to prevent a push/3rd? You might still get killed but the abilities doesn't take skill.
How does throwing a dome take skill when you're one hp or want to revive?
I just fail to see why Lifeline was/is the only "skillless" character that warrants so much complaining or whatever, when other legends have abilities that take no skill either, and can deny you a kill.
@CCbathwater I guess it depends how you define skill. Having the wisdom to know when and where to use it is "skill", pressing a button has nothing to do with it. That gas trap has to be in the right spot for it to work. That grenade has to hit spot on to be effective.
I don't buy for a second any of this is "skilless". No way.
Your statement above is probably the most telling:
"I just fail to see why Lifeline was/is the only "skillless" character that warrants so much complaining or whatever, when other legends have abilities that take no skill either, and can deny you a kill."
... and can deny you a kill. What I see isn't that it's "skillless", it's that somebody is playing their legend well and has denied you a kill. They've made it harder for you and you don't like it. I see it as good play and try again.
I don't know what would satisfy you then. If you want abilities removed (sounds like that is your issue) then maybe CoD is better? Not sure.
@RockDokRock Well, then you might as well say that Lifeline's auto-rez takes skill too, as you have to rez from the correct angle for the shield to be effective against incoming shots.
"They" don't like it - I'm a Lifeline main. And never had an issue fighting other Lifelines anyway. Can't even begin to count how many times I've just one-tapped the revived player the moment the shield dropped and thus insta-downed him.
I don't want abilities removed, far from it. I've always believed legends should be strong and annoying to play against. Not "Gibby strong/annoying" of course, as he can do too much and is unbalanced compared to all other legend kits in the game. And especially compared to Lifeline's kit, where the shielded drone-revive was basically all she had and balanced the rest of her underwhelming kit. Now she doesn't even have that. Gibby still has fast dome-revive however. Never read any complaints about him "denying my legitimate kill" though. 🤡

@CCbathwaterI always seen LL as a all skill player, she does nothing to cause damage or to reposition..but the res shield was kinda OP they should just bring back the original res still got the shield but LL herself had to perform it which took her outta the fight for a moment...revert LL to season 1 where she had fast heal an had to do the revive but give her the option to drop care package or replicater.
She should have a small sheild at least just annoying when randoms are in the open.
- @Deleventure98 So the game should reward randoms for dumb plays.
Randoms are dumb thats why I'm saying about the sheild - they could make it so its able to be damaged with gunfire like the rampart barriers.
Exactly! Or make it smaller, or slower res! Gibby can res super fast in is dome, and dome is unbreakable. At least uou could easily throw a nade or thermite to the side of LL’s shield
Sorry gonna go a bit off topic here but since there are a lot of lifeline mains/users here, what do you think about LL's ultimate? Some LL mains are voicing their concern in twitter because of the smart loot the wildlife gives to you compared to LL's ultimate. Ian Holstead is a gameplay programmer at Respawn.
- @Cheese9Man It's s***.
Her ultimate should have better loot on it yeah. And the lifeline sheild should be crackable like ramparts barriers.
- @Deleventure98 Gold loot in the lifeline crate would be cool and I don't ever play lifeline.
- @LetMeVsBots There already is gold loot in the lifeline package. The lifeline package always progresses based on your team's loot. If you all have purple or red it gives a gold shield.
- @hayhor I mean ALL the time, not just progression
