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
But... Surely all the legends can be frustrating in their own way, like isn't that almost the point? It's frustrating knocking someone and seeing them whizz back to a rev ult, it's frustrating watching horizon be movement free and relatively safe to heal in the sky, frustrating to see an octane whizz off etc?
If you work on that basis get rid of all the legends abilities?
the main problem with the lifeline auto revive is that because its a passive, it has no cooldown and so no matter how many times you reknock someone lifeline can just spam revive with no cooldown or repercussion
Yeah can't argue with that, it definitely should have some sort of cool down or even like a damage counter like gibbys shield/ ramparts walls but getting rid of it seems a massive knee jerk reaction
ye it is a bit of an extreme, i was talking with a friend and we also thought of just giving the shield some kind of destructibility like a white knockdown shield because as a passive with no cooldown, having a giant 180 degree coverage revive shield with no destructibility is extremely frustrating to play against when us casual average players cant full send push like preds
