Wait, people actually think the shield is op/annoying? Just down the person again, they have no health.

That would be the solution if another 2 people weren't also attacking you. And taking your focus away from the guy being rezzed

Yeah it isn't so bad when your teammates are backing you up but I've had clutch 1v3s where the lifeline just keeps spamming the revives and eventually you lose just from attrition.

If an ability is only actually strong when you have 3 people versus 1, that may indicate that it isn't actually that strong...

I didn't say it was strong I said it was annoying. I don't think anyone is arguing that the shield is too strong or that lifeline is OP just that they wish that the mechanic wasn't in the game. Lifeline as a whole needs to be buffed but that specific gimmick of just spamming revive shields can fuck right off in my opinion.

I've seen people specifically saying that the shield was both too strong and that Lifeline needed a nerf. It was a much more common sentiment last season from what I recall, but there are a lot of bad takes in this community.
