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 get hit by such). Walking in and out of it will be less toxic too. I play Gibraltar solely because he's the only classic tank, but I am aware he's the worst character in game as of now, largely due to a giant hitbox and a shield that doesn't compensate that. I think shield dome update that I described would help him greatly.

    @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

    ok so i was thinking about caustic i think my ideas for gibralter would work it would just need to recharge kinda fast so gib can peek and you should have the option to turn it on and off and still give it a over charge shock when it breaks some thing that would balance it out as for caustic make his traps smaller make it so they can be placed on walls ceilings and doors give the trap a flash bang activation that blinds enemy players then poison them 3 damage a tick the blind would give you and your team a leg up in the fight and the slow on your team would be less of an issue plus the bang from your trap going off would alert your team mates to the enemy
