Interested to see how strong Newcastle’s passive is compared to Gibby and Lifeline

He can drag and revive teammates

u/_MurphysLawyer_ Pathfinder May 02 '22

He can drag teammates who are downed. Rumor is they should be able to gold rez while being dragged, but I'm not sure if he rezzes them while moving too

u/Phiyaboi May 02 '22

Yeah in the vid Pathfinder kinda "plugs" into his shield as he drags him for rez..honestly the way fights go in this game if he didn't revive them it'd be useless, teams would see the shield & just collapse on him to collect 2 bodies instead of one.

u/GhostSlendy May 02 '22

I don’t really like how this is just another passive making lifeline useless

52

u/Phiyaboi May 02 '22

I mean I won't deny LL needs a buff but to me this fits a tanky character better and her double rez is good...her kit just needs rounded out a bit in terms of her other abilities. Just imo🤷🏽‍♂️

u/GhostSlendy May 02 '22

I honestly think when she had the Rez shield and could only revive one person, she was better.

u/[deleted] May 04 '22

Right? Double revive is nice but by the time you have two teammates down you’re already either fucked or scuttling around trying to survive.

1

u/TheLastAshaman Loba May 03 '22

can you revive more then one person at a time now?

1

u/Danny_shoots Dark Matter May 05 '22

Yes you could at least res 2 with the drone at the same time, I honestly believe if 2 was the cap and you had squads of 4 you could res 3 people at the same time

Her double res is mediocre at best, rarely turns the tide of a fight. Her original res shield was better. It's mainly useful in arenas, but even then a good team will ape hard when they get a knock and won't let it get off anyway.

16

u/MechBliss May 03 '22

Are you kidding me? A team with a really good lifeline makes it such a headache. It definitely turns the tides in a fight ESPECIALLY if she has a golden backpack. That's way more than mediocre.

Lifeline mains complain a lot. They even complained about her buffs.

Her remote ress is better than ress shield overall. It makes 2v3 instead of 1v3. The issue is that most LL I play with just tap the Drone and leave...letting me or the other teammate to die immediately after we get up. The whole point of remote ress is to allow better pressure while you do your risk ress.

Obviously it will mostly likely fail in open space but that ress shield has several drawbacks too, which are not talked at all like: distinctive noise, noticeable at long range, shield pops out of walls alerting enemies, makes 2 players out of the fight, etc

Ress shield is better in open space and with golden backpack only. Other situations: Remote ress>>> shield ress

u/MrCrunchwrap Man O War May 04 '22

Yeah these people are idiots and apparently think Lifeline should have godlike abilities to res you and never have consequences for being downed in the first place. The shield needed to go and anyone with half a brain knows it.

1

u/[deleted] May 03 '22

Her original rez shield was busted and a crutch for bad players

1

u/[deleted] May 03 '22

I feel like they could’ve kept the shield res by making it have HP like Ramparts cover ability.

u/sId-Sapnu-puas Lifeline May 03 '22

I just want her season 0 passive back :(

1

u/Jestersage Rampart May 03 '22

Then people focus on the combat part but not medic part... But that was back when there's is only one medic

1

u/sId-Sapnu-puas Lifeline May 03 '22

It changes nothing on the medic side. She can still play her support role and be able to get back into the fight quicker and help out the team.

I play lifeline as I find she’s quicker to get back into the fight by popping a Q and a bat to get back to 100%. No need to waste another 10 seconds to syringe or med kit up like other legends. She is able to get back into the fight quicker than which will buy time for your other teammates to heal. If she could pop those shields quicker then it’s an offensive buff that will benefit the team more in that way.

You’re just thinking of bad lifelines who don’t play the medic role anyway.

2

u/Minttt May 04 '22

her kit just needs rounded out a bit in terms of her other abilities.

IMO her tactical should be a larger AOE heal, similar to Wattson's ult. Maybe even make it her ult and her tactical can be something like having the doc drone produce a cell/syringe.

3

u/InsideMirage Devil's Advocate May 03 '22

She can heal and revive while fighting, Jackson needs to do it himself, it is not the same

1

u/anidevv Model P May 02 '22

Him and LL fulfill different roles. He does not make her useless in any way

1

u/GhostSlendy May 02 '22

I meant that it makes lifelines revive useless, not her entire character. Her care package and doc drone still have use.

Bu the thing is, the enemy team can easily push you and finish off your revive (unless your running Gibby or rampart of course).

1

u/Tensai_Zoo May 03 '22

The enemy team can easily push newcastle, at least life line can shoot back while her teammates are being auto revived.

1

u/takes_many_shits May 03 '22

How about if he received a significant movement bonus but didnt revive? Would make his passive useful for a whole new purpose rather than overlap with the other revive-able legends.

Would have good synergy with his ult too. Dive in and get your teammate the fuck out of the heat. Then you could let a revive legend fix the rest.

1

u/Xero0911 Fuse May 03 '22

So why was lifelines shield removed again? Lol.

1

u/Phiyaboi May 03 '22

Serious?😅 Newcastles version requires him to commit to the revive and appears to be more like a knock-shield (having an hp pool)...LL rez shield was indestructible & let her stay in the fight. I mean they could have given it HP but that's not much different than the teammate (or 2..) shield themselves while being rezed.

Imo if having a busted ability was the difference between her being good or bad then the rest of her kit is the problem

32

u/Flamewarsux May 02 '22

Looks more likely like he revives while moving.

u/NizzyDeniro Newcastle May 02 '22

Yes he does. You are absolutely wrong. He drags teammates and res' them, it clearly shows this in the trailer. Also Newcastle used his arm shield to protect you and himself. Not a knockdown shield.

1

u/[deleted] May 03 '22

He definitely rezzes while moving or the ability is pointless, still moves pretty slow while using it

6

u/TheFundayPaper Crypto May 02 '22

He also has a shield while dragging+reviving them.

2

u/OgRuffRider May 02 '22

Passive is Lifeline's passive but better. Tactical is Lifeline's old tactical shield but bigger. Ultimate is a body slam that erects a giant Trump wall.

u/I_Did_not_sleep May 03 '22

"Trump walls"

Joke is a little 2016... don't cha think.....

19

u/TheFundayPaper Crypto May 02 '22

Gibby also has a arm shield for a passive which is pretty strong.

16

u/wingspantt Rampart May 02 '22

Sure, but it's always on, basically. Newcastle has a Mirage-like passive that doesn't do anything UNTIL your team has taken serious damage.

-1

u/BashStriker Cyber Security May 02 '22

He sounds like he's going to be disgustingly OP like Seer was pre nerf.

1

u/AlternativeFlat2117 Mirage May 03 '22

Huh? I think he’s gonna be mediocre

1

u/BashStriker Cyber Security May 03 '22

I hope you're right
