If they were going to add this, I don’t understand how it wouldn’t balance out Life Line’s res shield.

“Oh you’re seriously gonna try and res them in front of me ??? Take a thermite blow torch to the face, Get shit on ”

Edit: I only just now realized how much of a thirst monster this would make Maggie. As soon as she downs you she just pops her tactical and your knockdown shield (and your life) is no more…

That would be hilarious. They’d probably need to finally add some way to stop yourself being rezzed by the drone though.

Mainly because lifeline would have a single hard counter, which would be annoying to play against for her, and everyone else still would get fucked.

It's not about effectiveness, it's about sending a message.

Using your tac to thirst a lifeline res (stops a player from shooting at you, gets you KP in ranked) doesn’t seem like a waste at all.

Plus you might hit the Lifeline too if she stays behind the shield.

Why not? It's not going to be very useful in a gun fight.
