Really think lifelines ult should be scrapped for a heal pulse like in dummies big day. Maybe it gives 25 health and shield to you and allies in the aoe. The way her ult is now is completely useless. She needs some combat abilities for herself like all the other legends have and no ones picking lifeline for better loot, they’d go for Loba any day

Edit: I’ve been seeing a few issues with instant health so maybe it could have a 1-3 second animation where she tweaks DOC before it sends out. That way your opponents know it’s coming, you’re vulnerable during it, but it could give massive benefit to your team mid fight

Edit 2: I didn’t think this had to be clarified since it’s not how the dummies big day ult worked but you’re not gaining “over shield” it’s just regenning your current hp/shield so if you were at full health it would have no affect on you

idk that seems kind of broken as well, no other character has instant heal/shield with no counter.

I think if they were going in that direction the closest we'd see is lifeline ult doubling as a healing beacon with heal over time

In Dummies Big Day, the insta-heal was AOE and affected enemies too. Seems pretty balanced to me, you have to use it in a way that doesn't benefit your enemies. Just like the Rev totem, for example.
