LL needs a cool down timer on her revive drone

It's insane, I dropped 2 players from an enemy squad while my teammates posted goose eggs. I pull back to heal and instantly get pushed by a revived squad at full armor and health again.

I proceed to drop 2 from the same squad again only for the exact same thing to happen again... Just put a 30 second cool down on the drone revive, it's still hugely OP. Any other legend and I would have won the fight.

@DarthValtrex Agreed. Definatley needs a cooldown.

@DarthValtrex Bro, she'd be trash if she got nerfed again. It's strong if someone uses it correctly but catch her on her own she's not far off Cryptos solo usefulness xD Just bombard them with grenades? Use Bangalores ult? Rotate out to heal when your teammates push?

@GH0STEDbyME I tried to toss 2 nades as I pulled back they bounced off the shield that the drone puts up. Either get rid of the shield that the drone puts up or put a cool down timer on it.

If you can't have success with that, that's on you. When there is that large of skill gap in which a player can basically down an entire squad 4 times and still lose the fight simply because of the LL abilities then something is wrong.

Being able to revive teammates mid fight without being taken out of the fight is a huge advantage. Popping off 4 revives in the span of a minute or two is just insane.

@DarthValtrex You should've thrown them around it? Darth it's literally the only part of her kit that's good. Getting rid of her shield or putting a cool down timer on would literally nerf her into the ground. She wouldn't be viable anymore.

If you downed them 4 times and still lost why didn't you push the LL? I don't get how it happened 4 times. What were your teammates doing?

@hayhor You play as Caustic so you have even less of a problem! xD

@GH0STEDbyME Then nerf the revive and give her the fast heal again. better yet, get rid of the care packages and give her a viable ult?! Instead of an OP passive that allows bad players to be good.

@DarthValtrex The devs have said they will do something about it in a future patch. So hopefully soon.

Her ult is basically useless compared to a Loba and more useless if everyone's got purple shields during in the late game. I think having a lifeline as an opponent adds to the tactical part or depth the game that you have to kill the Lifeline of the opponent's squad first when you're mid-range/sniping. She's alright as of now. It would be cool to have her passive have a cooldown but her carep package has one slot for replicating or even as a respawn beacon but that would be too OP.

@DarthValtrex she shouldn't have been changed in the first place. No one complained about her for 5 seasons because fast-heal made her a skill based carry / medic. If you knew what you were doing, you could carry games and win fights.
Now people complain about her because they changed her from a high-skill carry into a character that a monkey could play. Thanks Respawn!
Ulti: Garbage, reveals your position, no way to influence loot / get a CP with what you need.
Tactical: Mediocre, slow to use, loud, 45 second cooldown isn't good mid-fight, reveals your position.
Passive: Garbage, requires teammates (lemme revive someone who left) shield direction is clunky and hard to control, slows you when pressed / makes you unable to shoot for a few seconds, no CD is its only saving grace.

No please no!
Keep lifeline as it is...only way I feel useful in a squad ☹️
I'm getting old, wear spectacles, sit 15cm from a PC monitor, amd FOV at 70. Can't keep up with lightning reflexes of other Apex players.
Yes she is so OP by far, but any squad can include her if they want. I main bloodhound but I purposely choose Lifeline in premade if I want to win.
