What I am saying is all correct:

1. Check image at link above and % numbers calculated from square cm per model. Pathfinder and Wattson have large profiles from some angles for some parts of their body, Gibraltar is huge over all.
2. Gibraltar is slow at peeking and hiding, this makes him slower at those movements although his physical movement speed is the same. I don't really care how you define speed. Reality is he needs to spend more time completing these tasks compared to other legends, and that is my main point.
3. Legends in Apex Legends does not impact your performance in game by much. When I say Gibraltar is a joke, I do not mean he makes a great player into a bad player. I'm saying there are basically no benefits to using him compared to the others. He will make a good player a bit worse than if that player spent his time getting good with a different legend, that's all.
4. His head is not THAT large compared to some of the other legends, but to get his shield out you HAVE to ADS for quite a while before it activates. This is what I meant with him being slow in ADS. With other legends you can go in and out of ADS at will with no comparable penalty.
5. 15% is only for base health, it does not work on body armor\shields. So with body armor level 3 that is 7.5%. Even 15% is nothing compared to his large hit box (twice the size of Lifeline!), which is why fixing his shield would balance him.
6. I already proposed how to fix him for high skilled games, but I agree with you it will be a problem if he is unbalanced for lower ranked players. I do however think that would be a temporary problem as the player base will improve with time.
7. I'm one of those who really like that the legends have different sizes. I think that's a cool game mechanic to make each of them unique, with other characteristics and abilities balancing out the differences in size. If they make Gibraltar's personal shield better, let Mirage stack up 2 decoys and increase Bloodhounds Eye of the Allfather duration to 2-3 seconds I think the game would be pretty perfectly balanced. 🙂
@ZeptikkHue Only got time for a quick reply mate, but cheers for the respectful response. - That graphic you posted doesn't seem to take into account the fact that a lot of what is on Gibraltar's model can't be shot. The huge things on his shoulders, part of his back and some other small areas can't actually take hits, they're present on the model but not accounted for in the hitbox.
Will reply in full a bit later but just wanted to say it's great to have a disagreement that doesn't end in a massive schlongwaving competition and personal attacks.

Cheers. =)
Well, the shoulder parts of Wattson and Pathfinder and other areas of their models are not part of their hit boxes either so your argument is thus canceled out.
Having my dome shield only cover the top half can be really useless when Im fighting on rooftops and edges, some upgrades for this would be awesome if we can use intake currency
This is a minor point but how is it hard getting a head shot on Gibraltar? I don't have the best eyes but his gun shield is like a neon sign that says "my head is up here." I primarily use him and when I see another Gibraltar I can't resist the urge to shoot him since he's such an easy target.
