-20% difference in damage taken-gibbys arm shield adds an extra 50 health but is impervious to any 1 shot weapons that deal more than 50 damage.-short gun shield cool down allows him to tank as much damage as he wants without wasting heals.-dome allows for fast heals and protection if they do decent damage meaning you can't push him solo without being at a huge disadvantage-gibbys big hitbox makes him an easy target but his kit makes him way over powered to regular legends let alone low profile legends.The gunshield needs bleed through damage and a longer recharge timer. Try that first then maybe LP can be reduced to 10% if he is still too overwhelming

@chiefthunderball Bro your a lifeline main, how are you going to say her ability cool down is longer than lifeline's tactical or ult lol

I think you should start playing him, instead of complaining about him. Then maybe came again and do a feedback. :DHe is okay where he is. He is supposed to be a tank, you know?This is not 1v1 game, and its not balanced around 1v1 situation, you know?He was dead pretty much from the beginning, so they bring him back to alive, and you want to send him back at the dead?So why not send your precious Wraith in there? That would be better suggestion, having in mind she is number 1 pick, from the very beginning, and she was the most OP/Broken character from the very beginning .....I think this would be better suggestion.

@chiefthunderball There are currently members of the community that argue Caustic is overpowered so I'm not too keen on blindly trusting community opinion. Certainly consider everyone's opinion but I trust nobody's not even my own.Moving on to your points...-20% damage taken is misleading. In a team fight Gibby gets shot and shot at far more frequently than any other legend but in a straight up 1v1 it is true he has a notable advantage.-Completely disagree with bleed through damage. I'm not going to be a massive glowing target without gaining any advantage for it.-Agree with the gun shield cool down. It didn't used to be so short and doesn't need to be since he can recharge it with shield cells. Even if it takes a full minute to recharge I don't think Gibby would notice.-Yep its risky to push a dome Gibraltar. I'm not sure what the point is in mentioning how difficult it is to attack a defensive Legend but I guess you're just mentioning this point.As for your last point Gibby's kit has always been OP. The problem was that no teams played around what he can do. He's powerful now because teams use him properly not because of any buff. Well.... a dome revive + golden backpack does make him surprisingly difficult to plan around.

@chiefthunderball Wraith and Path have great mobility and high speed, wraith could use her tactical to remain totally unharmed and now add hit box size differences to that...

@Alphabets What game do you play? Because it's not Apex. All legends move at the same base speed. Wraith only moves faster in portal, her ability cool down is the longest of any legend. Pathfinder needs a longer cool down on his grapple, and there are other legends that need buffs but most people know Gibby is too powerful right now. That's fact. Go look at forums

Gibby vs Low Profile is so unbalanced

@heme725 I appreciate you taking the time to reply to each thing individually instead of corn flakes responses which most people do.

I don’t think the problem is with Gibraltar. He’s in a pretty good place rn I think that buffing him or doing a massive nerf won’t help. I think the issue is with them constantly nerfing low profile legends, especially wraith. I do think they should Tweak all low profile legends a bit, and BUFF lifeline. At least wraith and pathfinder can get away. Basically what I’m trying to say is that they remove the limb damage having the same damage as body damage. If not, then characters like wattson and lifeline that aren’t mobile to get a buff that can help at least.

@SpaceHamster1991 What are you even talking about? When did I ever mention lifeline? I'm not a lifeline main by the way. O don't main anyone I've played all legends except caustic pretty evenly.

@SpaceHamster1991Also I have more time played as wraith than lifeline. Been here since week one of launch so I've seen all the balance changes. I know what I'm talking about I'm not some new guy to the game lol
On top of the fact that this post is about Gibby being too strong vs Low profile characters so not sure what you are trying to make.

@chiefthunderball I got bamboozled by your profile pic, and my comment was in regards to "her ability cooldown is the longest for any legend" part of your post.
