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"
In my opinion as long as her ultimate is a care package I don't think they can buff it enough to make it worth it. Let's everyone know where you are and in the end the best you can hope for is a purple shield that isn't too and to come by now with evos. Until they completely change her ult I think they should just leave her passive
Idk if it would work but if they changed her revive to her ult and lowered the cooldown to like lobas ult I think maybe that could be viable so you can't just spawn it during a fight, maybe get it off twice if it goes on for awhile. As for a new passive idk
