How to fix Gibraltar
His current shield bubble usually just screw over your own team. In order to fix it, replace it with a semi bent shield wall so your allies can throw grenades over it (but of course also be able to g...

Community AdminAppreciate 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.

@EA_Blueberry"We’re better sizing hitboxes to character gear & model"
Increasing Wraith's hitbox should be a change you guys make then. I understand she is "Interdimensional" and that you could make a case that due to her lore she is harder to hit by bullets or something along those lines, but game play matters most and there are already several dozen video clips out there that you can watch that showcase how ridiculously small her hitbox is. It's smaller then her gear/model and I personal suggest it should be increased.
You guys may have reduced Pathfinders hitbox to much, but it's still way more in line with his character model then before so good tweak as of now imo.
Caustic & Gibraltar's resizing of hitboxes leaves A LOT to be desired. They are still gigantic and can be hit disproportionately even at far ranges by weapons not specifically meant for long range combat. I know you guys mentioned something along the lines of damage reduction for these characters to help balance them out with the other legends. I hope you do testing sooner rather than later on this idea or any others that your team can come up with. The Season 1 patch changes for these characters did not help the imbalance they experience in my, any from what I see online, many others opinions.
He is a "Tank" but doesn't have extra health or shields, his gun shield is all but useless, I would love to play this guy more but it is just painful compared to the other legends. If you are going to make a giant target that is a tank they need to be more durable. Same with Caustic maybe if he had a slow heal while he is in his nox gas or a life drain, something or else everyone is only going to play the non tank legends and what is the point of having the in the game at that point.
make the inside of the bubble hold poison gas like caustic.
I think his shield should cause a arkstar like stun for anyone going in or out and make his auto activate upon being hit and make it a full body shield that coats his armor giving him a 100 extra shield but that would make him a little to op so upon that shield being broken maybe he can be hit with a arkstar stun as well to balance it out as for caustic i have no clue i have been trying to think of ways to over come the hit box bs with his tool kit but really he is what he is a camper so why not make him the best camper up the damage he does with his poison to like 5 a tick this would make it a lot harder to push in on him
