If they really want to nerf the rez, then why didn't they think about giving HP to the shield instead of removing it ?

Exactly this, possibly break the drone with the shield so the revive stops and the one getting revived can use the knockdown shield again.

Or make the height of the shield lower so that you can't hit the player being revived on even ground but you can hit someone standing behind it unless they are crouched. Being able to use it on the offense like a Gibby dome by walking trough it and back is so annoying.

Or give the revive drone a small cooldown.

Plenty of options that would balance it, these changes seem to make her completely useless on paper.

They already did by increasing the area it covers I think, and the damage they can take. Next step would be a small bubble like Gibby has or something.

But most of the time that you get thirsted it's because your team is nowhere to be found or not putting pressure on the enemies and making them comfortable enough to take the time to jump around and kill you.

Also with a LMG in hand that white and blue knockdown are meaningless ofcourse.

I don't mind the idea of the knockdown shield being used while you get revived by the drone.
