Gibraltar is SO op and NEEDS a nerf

Wasn’t doing very well, today. Mostly raging because of how unfair some things can be in this game. I main octane and have 4,000 kills with him but today I died to so many Gibraltars and I wanted to seek out the answer as to why. So this one guy took octane right before me and I decided I’d just play Gibraltar and see how OP he is. Sure enough I dropped 17 kills and 3.2k damage after playing one game with him. How did I go from dying instantly every game with octane to doing that with Gibraltar? Simple. His Gun shield. Too OP, man. You’re in a 1v1 situation where u guys are both shooting at each other with no cover... It’s an aim game at this point, right? Nope. Not with Gibraltar because all u gotta do is aim down sights and boom they gotta do 275 damage on u all u gotta do is spray ur mag at them.  Any noob can do it. Disagree with me? Play Gibraltar for one game and aim down sights instead of hip firing. As long as ur not total trash u instantly win.

Simple solution to this; put his gun shield back down to 50. The changes will be perfect. You already gave him 10% less damage intake which is already op, and if I’m not mistaken u also made him pop his gun shield quicker. 

So adding the 75 was just too much. 

Thanks for listening

  • Gibraltar is indeed OP af.. All these clowns saying otherwise cant even reach diamond rank.. He does not need a nerf though IMO instead other legends need buffs.

  • absolutly right!
    half of the community shows how toxic little salty boys can be...

    gibby in a 1v1 fight against every other champ is useless...

    his dome heals you faster, 15% dmg reduction, faster revival under dome, the way overpowered weaponshield.
    had a 1v1 against him as lifeline today and i hit him on distance with the kraber on his shield in the last second and did a whole magazine r301 on him (blue body) and still died cause as soon as the body was down he threw the dome healed quickly and back up was his weapon shield while i was still down to the same level...

    NERF hardly needed!

    @Sgt-Ezio1337 Are you saying that you didn't heal yourself as Lifeline? You couldn't backup and find cover to use the kraber? Change it out for a cqc weapon so that Gibraltar wouldn't have the time or space to heal?

    I don't like Gibraltar's buffs but I can't imagine you handled that fight well.

  • @Zamaha400 i‘m not the best yet not the worst player, had my 6kills at that moment. just as reference.
    i took a battery in while he chased me with his ult that did me dirty. healed back up but then it was a full life vs full life battle abd the kraber was a joke to him cause of the weapon shield
  • @AMJbr0 I agree. His shield is super annoying. Up close, yeah Gibby can be pretty easy to get rid of. But at range, he's highly annoying. What I really hate is how quickly his shield comes back after you've already spent half your mag removing it (with sniper or similar). So now you reload and he's just chilling there, you go to shoot him again and oh hey look, his shield is back!! Should have at very least 10 second cooldown. Now he has to throw his dome down and leave the area if its too much instead of just chill for a few seconds and repeat
