Appreciate the suggestions around his dome shield. The team is planning to make some changes around Gibraltar at the start of Season 1. 

Major balance changes:

  • Hit box size reductions and optimizations for Caustic, Pathfinder and Gibraltar

    • We’re better sizing hitboxes to character gear & model

    • Since these adjustments have a MAJOR impact on the game, we want to make sure there aren't any major bugs, so we didn’t want to rush them out

    • If these adjustments prove to be insufficient, we’ll consider additional adjustments during Season 1

There's more to read on addressing Legend balance and hitbox feedback if you want to check it out below.

I feel Gibraltar overall is a great character one of my favorites. His dome shield is clutch in the game the only thing that I would even consider to adjust would be for people to go in or out of it should take damage. After all it is a energy shield. I feel you guys are doing an awesome job overall I'm going down the right paths for all these legends.    

   On a side-note question I asked what can be done about people hiding from the Bangalore and Gibraltar's abilities in buildings.  Could or shouldn't some of these buildings be almost demolished .  you'll still have the protections of the buildings but just have to keep moving. Staying in them could be not a good idea.
