the weapon shield of gibraltar aims to protect him from any damage, even giving him 150 damage, you will only break his weapon shield.
I posted the following as part of another thread but will put it here also.
gibby is by far the most op character ingame.. if wraith is hard to hit and takes 5% increased damage vs gibby who is easier to hit who takes 15% less damage (3 times more reduction than wraiths additional damage).. on top of this he gets an extra 50 arm shield points he also gets a dome shield to protect him and team aswell as increase the speed of healing and shield repairs and make him revive faster. he can also call in bombardments and is not effected by slow down like other characters when shot. this not only makes him a tank but a good healer support and offensive character, there is no other legend who is so multi role able.
- 6 years ago@lordalmighty1 Revenant can do a lot of things with his totem.
also, I responded to your post, Gibby isn't op.
Wattson is a good defensive character who can heal teammate shields.- 6 years ago@Sir_Named I disagree, rev is actually more limited now than before the patch in some ways. the totem for example before you was able to activate it and fight until 1 hit point was left then transported back to totem to heal. now you only have 50% health to fight with before being removed from combat. that's a huge nerf imo of the rev totem. I mean think you and 2 team mates use the rev totem and go and fight a team of 3, they have armour to break and 100 health maybe the armour is only white with 50 points but across all 3 that's 450 points of damage to deal while only having 150 points for your team to do it with. now given the range of the totem you might be able to heal that 50 points of health before going back to fight but how much actual damage can you do to the enemy team in return with such a small pool of health? and whats stopping the enemy team healing while you do and go back to them. the totem seems redundant now tbh. it would only take a few hits to be returned to totem, 2 wingman shots, 4 r301 shots, 5 r99 shots, 3 flatline shots, 1 peacekeeper or eva 8 shot..
as for wattson yes the machine thing she has does heal shields but only shields and its slow very slow although it does stop grenades and bombs it can be shot and destroyed easily as can the team inside the effect of its shield repair.
gibby shield dome stops all bullets grenades bombs makes gibby revive as fast as lifeline heal health and shields as fast as lifeline and gives the healing shields and health as fast as lifeline to his 2 team mates, there is nothing else ingame that even comes close to gibby dome shield effects on a across the whole squad basis or multifunctionality. gibby has abilities that not only apply to his whole team but are equal or better than multiple characters all in 1 character. his bombs are better than bangalore his dome shield is better than wattsons machine for defence his dome shield is as good as lifeline healing but effects the whole team, anyone who says gibby is not op is either using gibby or just plain does not understand that he has far more benefitting him and squad than any other team not using gibby. im not saying he is invincible but that does not mean he is not op.- 6 years ago
@lordalmighty1 The changes to Revenant's Ult looks like an improvement. It always seemed best for ambushes anyway so I don't care about the total health points he has before going back. I'd prefer risking just 20 health and gambling on breaking an enemy's shields or downing one before I'm noticed. The biggest drawback of his Ult to me was always coming back with 1 hp and being terrified of running into a Caustic.
As for Gibraltar.... yeah kind of? I don't like his recent buffs and he can be OP if he's part of an organized squad but your points seem kind of weak. He's always had a bullet proof dome and an Ult that can down multiple squads but was considered a joke character. The healing boost inside the dome is a nice buff but the revive is kind of "meh" without the changes to the gold back pack.
Whether you prefer his Dome of Protection or Wattson's Ult also depends on the situation.
In a building? Wattson Ult.
In the open? Gibraltar dome.

But Gibby is 3x the size of Wraith, you get that? And can you do a f**** math for god sake? 5% damage of 200 is just 10 damage, which is nothing in what you get in return, dodging like more than 50% of the bullet, just because your hitbox are broken.
Gibby is fat and his hitbox is the worst in the whole game, so his shield that are on only on ADS and his perk are absolutely nothing and can`t compensate for how ridiculously big and fat he is.
He is bad at retreating, he is bad at strafing, he is bad at almost anything.
He is and never was OP, except at low tier scrub eyes.
No one at top level even dare to pick him, that bad he is.
- 6 years ago@LordloshBang He's actually a reasonable pick at high tier. Gun shield gives frontal advantage in fights, dome shield is not only cover but fast res / heal inside, or even just deny enemy shots while retreating. Reduced damage in fights. Orbital destruction on a third party fight outdoors (or to chase enemies outa hiding).
Everyone please remember that just because you have an opinion about a champion doesn't make it EVERYONE'S opinion. There are statistic numbers on usage. And "no one at top level even dare to pick him" is not what the numbers show at all. Anyone with access to youtube can see thats untrue....
Now is the gunshield taking a full PK hit broken? Eh maybe. But if a bunch of pellets hit a shield at the same time should half spontaneously act as if they didn't hit the shield and smack gibby because the damage threshold went over? Not sure TBH.
