I completely agree with this. Her shield was removed for being over powered now there are 2 legenda with significantly better revive shields. They removed fast heal as its and I quote "to selfish" yet octane has stim and health regeneration? Valkyre has a jet pack. Gibby has a gunshield. Wattson can regen shields. Lobas bracelet. Wraith can god damn phase and become invincible!! But fast heals is a step to far!!! Sure maybe back in the day tjat was the case but when you have legends like valkyrie gibby and bloodhound I dont think returning fast heal similar to gold body is that out the question. The revive shield I dont believe needs to return as the auto pair revive if done right can still clutch but at the moment she is a completely selfless charactor and I feel.every legend should have something selfish that allows them to do somthing unique. Its a team game I get that but that rule only seems to apply to specific legends lifeline almost feels like prejudice at this point XD

If people are throwing out ideas, does anyone mind if I through mine out?
First, we don't need to change the passive. The ability to gain extra healing items and equipment from the crates does well enough in both BR and Arenas.
I also don't think much needs to be done with her healing aspect Either. Sending out a drone to heal within a specific radius does well enough on it's own to warrant consistent use, and contributing within a support playstyle. I personally am really excited about the newest update with doubling the radius, but we'll see what that's like.
Now for the revives. I don't know how we feel about this as a community, but I like how the revive system is currently. Being able to pick up downed teammates while continuing to put pressure on surrounding enemies can be extremely effective when done properly, and preferably in conjunction with her drone. The slowness and vulnerability when attempting this is part of the risk it entails, which ads a level of depth within the importance of proper utilization of said pickup. Unfortunately we did lose the shield, but at this point it's not like they're going to give it back, so "it is, was it is."
* the ultimate, I hate it. It's lazy because it utilizes a mechanic already in the game, but at an inferior level. But what about this: so the drone that lifeline has is like, the healing version of the drones with guns. What if the ultimate gave the robot guns, but that could be used to heal. Basically what would happen is the bullet shot would have a specific-flat amount of healing, and would be used to shoot your own teammates with, allowing them to tank more shots and play more aggressively. The gun would either hold a specific amount of shots, or would last for a specific duration of time. In both cases testing would be needed to find the correct amount/duration needed.
What do you guys think?

Tbh I am a big fan of the ultimate rework with the extra healing items, respawn becaon and lower cool down (which is well deserved).
Also there being no blue light beacon on landing.
What I'd really like to see now is for lifeline to be more mobile.
The ability to send out DOC to heal or Res others would be the icing on the cake for her I don't like having to wait for allies to crawl behind cover before resing. It slows down the game for her.
I think we all know the Res shield won't be coming back.
This would be the next best thing for lifeline DOC to go mobile.
