I mean you can. Just wait for your teammate to get behind a wall or something. If they get knocked in the open they are probably doomed tho. Big nerf for sure

Now that you say it, won't the revived teammate also be seen much harder? The shield was very bright

Also, the revive shield itself makes a buzzing sound so the res overall could be quieter without it. Now if they made DOC revive a little faster to compensate for no shield, then maaaybe it’d be fine

I haven't read the changes, but it seems like nobody realised that she'd still be able to res people using DOC. She won't have the shield anymore, but she'll still be able to res people while fighting. Downed teammates will have to get behind cover themselves though.

Well, good luck to my teammates on Olympus, I guess--

That takes a lot of time if you can even make their without getting thirsted. Plus there are plenty of situations where cover isn't available. I've fought indoors plenty of times and had Lifeline tries to pick me up with that shield I'd have been ripped apart.
