Sterak's Gage
Patch 7.2- The Lifeline items get a broad pass so their cooldowns line up with the pace of fights.
Lifeline
- Cooldown90s → 75s
Our take
Fifteen seconds off means Lifeline is far more often back up when fights come in quick succession. Burning the shield in a skirmish before an objective no longer costs you the shield for the fight that actually matters. Fighters running Sterak's Gage can commit early instead of holding it in reserve.
