Gibraltar is almost perfect: A-Wall
First off, thank you for making a great game.
To the other posters saying Gibby is OP on console (xbox)... No. Zero issues on spraying gibbys down. This is coming from a diamond path player tired of waiting in 30min ques. He is a low tier legend.
Straight to the point on discussions:
1. Rotate Gibbys shield so it covers his head and most of his body. No love for those love handles. Keep shield health the same. I'll still mozie his feet for dubs.
2. Complete the dome. Throwing one down on a hill to get a revive only to be shot through the bottom really stinks. Please add in the other half of it. You could say the same for lifeline.
3. Faster ADS gun shield. Nothing like being stuck behind rock trying to poke back at a bear and the shield comes up slow. Or close quarters in skull town, that too.
4. Gun shield health bar, or regen bar would be really nice. After getting my arm blown off it would be really nice to know when I can use it again.
Main Discussion:
5. The game changer: Turn gibbys dome into a full on Titanfall 2 A-Wall. Honestly, if you do this, I would recommend increasing cooldown.
Gibbys big boy dome would finally serve its purpose as a safe space for offensive and defensive moments. This would really give purpose of moving him to a mid tier legend from low tier.
When you see the dome, you're not gonna be thinking, "It's time to get on this third party." You're gonna be thinking, "let's just wait a minute till we see the squad number drop." You're not gonna hear that revive and think let's go right now; it's a hard reset. You might get ... amped... out?
Why is he currently low tier? Cause he has the hitbox of the actual country Gibraltar. When you carry the largest hitbox in the game and will see zero play at pro tournaments, you need abilities to make up for it.
Everything needs a counter, how do you stop it? Easy... Bangalore. If you're not smoking snipers taking pot shots at your shields then you should just rolling thunder yourself. Do the same against the dome. What's worse than smoke? Caustics gas ulti after eating taco bell.
Other arguments I've read on here:
1. Have domes do damage to enemies inside: No. Imagine doing this on the final circles. That's just cruel to those final 5 solo teams trying to get out of gold.
2. Adjust hitbox size, everyone is equal: No. Hitbox sizes are what make these characters unique.
3. Balance differently for each platform: No. That sounds overly complicated to keep up with. We want bug fixes and content. Not meta adjustments for platforms.
My argument against this:
1. He might replace lifeline in meta with dome revivals. He already has for my squad in non ranked for the ultimate. But the increased healing rate and hitbox for her is still really good
