Lydia's deathhold skill needs a look?

So years ago when Lydia was released she was and remains the only champion who can block revive without doing a single thing. This notably powerful ability was put on a 9(7)(6) turn cooldown for obvious reasons. Compared against similar revivers at the time who could do full team revives (Arbiter 5/(4)T, Dutchess 4T, etc) on a 4-5 turn cooldowns, this effectively meant Lydia could block every second revive attempt after the initial.

However, now we have champions (Wukong and Marichka) that either self revive or can team revive on a 3 turn cooldown allowing them to loop Lydia twice after the initial block. In short one of Lydia's strongest abilities seems to have been powercrept by the aforementioned two champions where as she's still a good option for blocking conventional revivers.

Seems like the skill could use a look at to bring it back to parity vs standard revive skills so that it can block every other revive vs every third revive as it currently stands?

I'll send the feedback along.  I do agree it's underwhelming these days.

I wanted to come down on this like "Lydia is strong enough! What are you even talking about?

But you know, you do have a point that she was super oppressive a couple years ago. So I'll ask the team if it's their intention for her to be less oppressive now, or if they want to look at buffing her passive.

Thanks for the feedback. :)

She is totally a Hydra Toon.  Tell the folks at Plarium that we desperately need another toon that replicates Lydia's A2 to use in our other Hydra Teams!

Well, while we are spit-balling, let's throw in an AoE Hex just to make sure she doesn't get powercrept for Hydra.

Lydia's passive does more than block revive. I disagree that it should be buffed much. Maybe decrease the cooldown by 1. It isn't like she isn't powerful in other areas and can't be used in PvE.
