Re: Tanks need more HP

Respawn stated they tweaked the hitbox sizes for Gibraltar, Caustic, and Pathfinder for Season 1.  Pathfinder is way better now (maybe too good).  Caustic & Gibraltar can't be fixed by tweaking the hitbox sizes unless they redesign the character models (which would be A Okay with me).  Respawn also stated that if Gibraltar & Caustic still have issues they plan on giving them damage reduction, or something along those lines, to make up for it.

It's obvious there is a problem with these two characters hitbox sizes.  "Play more defensively" meaning: 'hide in a corner' isn't a solution.  Maybe damage reduction will help, idk.  Maybe increasing the hitbox sizes of the smaller characters would help balance the game as well.  Ooooor maybe play testing the original Legends and noticing varied hitbox sizes for different legends was a bad idea from the start and they should've stream lined it more to make balancing easier throughout the life of the game.  Personally I don't think Respawn thought to much about it before launch and now they are stuck with some icky foundational issues between their legends.  Hence why you see the same 5 legends used in almost every match.  Heck, I just watched the Code Red tourny and half the legends aren't even used, because they are obviously worse then the rest.  Go figure.
