@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.
@pastaclownActually a lot of people complained that "she is too weak" (even though she was balanced) and "she isn't unique enough since Gibby got fast heal/revive under dome".
Then when she was changed people cried "she will be too weak without fast heal".
Now people are complaining that she is too good...
So... yeah.
@budzai I saw the complaints that she lacked character since they gave fast-heal to Gibby, but too weak? I didn't see those complaints. Proper usage of fast-heals saved games for me, it was a pretty strong utility. I'm surprised anyone was saying it was too weak.
Even then though, the point still stands, very minor complaints as opposed to say, Pathfinder or Wraith. What was a real kicker was that after giving fast-heals to Gibby, she did need something new to cement her identity as a combat medic, and Respawn even said, "Hey we're looking into side-grade options for her, no buffs or nerfs yet!" Then they went and removed fast-heals altogether and gave her this crappy passive. If you ask me, the devs went from, "Hey we're not nerfing anything!" into shattering both of Lifelines femurs with one hammer swing, and replacing them with pogo sticks.
@DarthValtrex There were SO MANY good ways to give her a healthy buff, and instead they just gave her this crappy passive. It's lazy in design, poor in implementation, and clunky in usage. IMO, those are all pretty much synonyms for Respawn's development of Apex.
@pastaclownI was actually one of the ones who wanted to see her buffed. But I wanted a different ult. When the revive system first came out I liked it. Now I think it's highly dependent on who is using her, but it can be really OP in certain situations. Like what I had happened, it was insanely frustrating because I was a better player then the enemy team including the LL. But she kept popping off revives one after another and I eventually got over whelmed by it. For me that's no different then when the PK was OP. It might not be as bad as the PK when it was OP.
I'm okay with the revive drone but there need to be some limits on it. Popping off 5-6 revives one after another at absolutely no cost to the team is just insane. It actually was benefiting the team because the shield was getting in the way of everything.
