He's certainly in a good place right now. If you were to make tweaks to bring him down a bit but without making him unviable, what would you do?

@EA_David I know your question isn't directed at me but I'm going to share my thoughts anyway. The main problem is his arm shield. It has a strong HP (75) and can be recharged quickly. If you want to make Gibraltar equal to other legends then you should decrease his arm shield HP to 50 and make it non rechargeable with shield cells. There should be also a bar that shows the arm shield HP and how much time left for it to recharge. If you don't want to nerf him then you need to buff other legends to be equal to him.

    @SERPENT_DESCENDI'm strongly against losing the ability to heal His gun shield but in favor of nerfing the hp. His kit is strong enough for a change like that but the end result would be a pure support character.  Very useful on a pre-made squad but worthless on a random team.

    Perhaps when I used him I just did so poorly so I'm wondering how you'd engage fights with your version of Gibraltar while on a random team.

      @Zamaha400I get what you are saying but he is better than most legends in the roster, They don't have to nerf him they can make other legends as good too, Right now a good Gibraltar with purple shield is a nightmare to go against, Even worse is when he has a golden shield because he can recharge his arm shield at a much faster speed.

      Edit: Just to be specific, I'm against the idea of nerfing him. I would prefer if they buff other legends so they can be as good as him. I just don't like the idea that some legends like Gibby are a lot useful while other legends like Mirage and Revenant are not nearly as good.

      @Leo_the_Lion25 I truly believe Gibraltar was meant to have an advantage in a straight up ADS fight. I dont know if the Gun Shield should have 75 health but he truly felt strong in his niche after it was buffed to that extent.

      Then they gave him strong support skills that didn't fit with his existing play style.

      Without those support skills he probably isn't worthwhile in higher levels of play but with them he's oppressive against any overly aggressive team.

      I like that you're actually trying to balance him but most other suggestions just ruin him.

        gibby doesnt need to be nerfed to oblivion like poor wraith, but that gun shield is ridiculous. I would hope to see something with the hp or the recharge rate,but not both. Because theen he'll just be meat bag to clap. But all in all his kit is overall good,just  lil overpowered.
