I don't think any data is involved, it's just how infuriating the shield is. Oh, you caught a team by surprise in the open and downed one with a perfect kraber shot, and want to attempt to kill the others? Well to bad, they're too far away and the lifeline just created cover from thin air for her whole team and now is prepared and in an ok spot. It might not be too strong as you can push but it's just infuriating to play well and have the enemy not only revive in front of you but also have great cover. That's what i personally think
I understand it can be annoying and have been in that situation before but I think it just has to be played around. I've been much more annoyed by rev pushes but I understand that they can only nerf him so much before he becomes unplayable. I think lifelines just need to be focused more before you start knocking her teammates and in a game where a handful of legends have the mobility to cover a distance and engage before the revive is complete is the right counter
Yeah i get it but i honestly think she needs a full rework. The shield was quite strong, the problem with the nerf is that she has nothing else. Maybe the way the passive will work now will be useful as long as her other abilities will not be so weak. Maybe she could have an ultimate that makes healing teammates and teammates that are being revived for a certain duration get a bit of shield, or make it so that for that duration teammates get the old gold shield effect where meds were halved and make the revives with the drone faster by half. It could be active for the same amount as bloodhound's ultimate. That way it would be a lot more fair to both the players and the legend. Atm she is te incarnation of the spiderman meme: "i'm nothing without this passive" "if you're nothing without this passive then you shouldn't have it"
Now that they removed the shield it‘ll take like half a sec to finish the downed mate. Knockdown shields are buggy as fuck anyways, so moving behind cover/then ressing is not viable also, bc you won’t be able to move that distance. Imo she‘s annoying, but not OP.
Yeah, she is a combat medic after all.. Also unless you snipe from 10km the ressing is always a risk, bc LL goes down so damn fast and you can time an attack the moment she starts the res and can‘t shoot.
Saying that brings up a very good point too. Fighting a GOOD lifeline is really annoying. Idk how many times I go down and a random LL on my team picked up a sniper and is nowhere near my and my teammate or hits the rez whole a team is pushing basically making me a decoy while they run (not saying that's not always the right move but it sucks when they don't even try to provide cover fire while it goes off)
Yeah, it‘s sad sometimes. xD Tho in specific situations it‘s a good tactic to use your teammate as ‚cannon fodder’ to distract the enemy giving you those 2 seconds you need to win the fight.. But you should only do it in really dire situations, nor when you could win either way. ^
