Gibraltar needs a huge nerf

Tho Gibraltar being a defensive character I think that he has TOO much things to defend himself with making him a 100% chance of winning a 1v1 being him, I got suggestions on how to change him such as lowering the percentage of his fortified “passive” or removing his gun shield and give him a new passive (eg. inmune to being slowed by explosions or make his gun shield cover his head instead of his body) if that can’t be possible, lowering the gunshield health to 25 like before would be ok, I know that Gibraltar is suppose to be defensive but adding all the things of defence he has it adds up to around 300+ hp with red evo shield, and besides that he still has his dome and ultimate which can make him an offensive character VERY difficult to go up against, please reconsider this and nerf him as soon as possible since it is making my ranked games almost impossible to win.

  • Fr I hate wasting half my mag on his shield and then getting killed by him because he still has half his shield when I’m already lower than 50 hp, sure maybe some gods can one clip his head and kill him easily but that ain’t me or most of the general players. I hope they do at least something with him, as I see this as a very unfair advantage. And to everyone that says “why don’t you use him then” no that’s not the point, I don’t want to play him and when versing him it’s very unfair. I’m sure many other people think this as well. 

  • @lops3004 Well first of all his Gunshield was 50 HP with no bleed through when the game launched so you're proposing nerfing him to a worse state than when he was "trash." Secondly you have to consider what it's like playing with the big guy. 

    - He's an ability dependent character that's had all his cooldowns increased

    - Big body makes him top priority for any 3rd partying teams in a BR

    - His effectiveness depends heavily on the map and teammates willing to play to his strengths.

    If you want to weaken his 1v1 ability that's fine but you'd have to buff his support abilities or put the big man on a diet to keep him viable.

    @lops3004 Oh you're right about that. Even a low skilled player with a Gibby and a Rampage is annoyingly oppressive in open space so I don't want you to think I disagree with you. I just don't know how to address him when he's a major strength in a 1v1 but a liability to the survival of any team with poor communication so... the vast majority of apex teams.

  • @lops3004 he's fine how he is. Legends get nerfed far to much in this game and they end up being pointless to use.

    I win the majority of my 1v1s against him and the ones I don't I'm pretty sure I would of been killed regardless of what legend the other player was using.

    He has no movement and is huge, easy to hit all your shots and dive on his head with a movement legends once you've already put a few shots into him
