Defib is effectively broken now

[Tiny Lewt Griffon]

The current, very un-need changes to defib now makes players a sitting target. It's a all but useless tool thanks to the slight rework. It would make more sense to revert the changes, and just make it so a contestant respawns with 1/2 health instead of full.

Also waiting for those invisibility changes. My suggestion? You can't sprint in invisibility and you cant use weapons/tools until you've been out of invisibility for 1 second. People will scream about it but its already an over powered tool that needs much needed nerfs. Mediums and heavies have had their class abilities changes, its time for a light change.

What was done to defibs that makes them different and worse than before?

Wrong.

actually gives players who got defib'd a chance to actually get back up.

while I agree that it gives defib players a moment to take in what's going on around where they will respawn, since there's a 3 second wait, most people who use the defib will just defib and leave, so if an enemy sees you respawning, you're dead anyways. it takes 4 seconds to manually defib, it takes 3 seconds plus almost an entire second to charge the defib. There really is no reason to use the defib currently, I'd rather be combat revived into a party already shooting back (something I hate) instead of being defibbed and left to look at an enemy staring at my face for 3 seconds just to get insta-stunned/rpg'd/beamed to death the second I respawn (something I really hate)

Just put the statue behind cover THEN use the defib, my god do you people have the developmental capabilities of a newborn?

the defib already worked like that previously..
you already got up with only around half health.

the change is fine. the only thing i don't like about it, is how obvious the character "rebuilding" animation is. Maybe it shouldn't be NEON blue..

but It was to powerful to be able to instantly revive someone mid fight
now you need to actually think about going for a revive instead of just randomly running in.
it's still very useful but it's no longer an essential for M
