Uhhhhh...

  I don't wanna say Gibby takes no skill to use, but I also don't wanna lie! I'm torn. Anyway, a nerf to Gibby would be in literally everyone's best interest! Even the noobs who still use Gibby! T...

    Gibralter has always been one of my favorite legends, but I can agree that he is way more powerful than the other legends in the game... i do pretty well with other characters but the moment I get on Gibralter I do 5 times better XD and theres been times I was losing a fight and being third partied alone so just threw down his ult and got like 5-6 kills for doing nothing and my teammates were like what the hell was that lmao... don’t get me started on his gunshield... i believe his dome is fine and i like the addition for faster revives/fast heals but his gunshield needs nerfed because of the fact that he now has fast heals in his dome and between the 2 hes much stronger than every other legend in the game... either nerf him or buff other legends to make everyone on a equal playing field

Ah hello I'm a Gibraltar main. He's always had more potential health than other characters and was considered a bigger joke than the Mozambique but now it's a problem?

He is the least "noob" friendly character in the game. No mobility and always shot first. His only advantage in a fight is when players stand still and trade shots because they foolishly think they had an advantage.

I'm fairly sure you're another player that got the first shot on Gibby and foolishly tried to trade with him.

@Zamaha400 please consider the game at the moment and don't compare it with first season. Please check this comparison:

Gibraltar:

1. Has an input personal shield as passive

2. Has an external shield tactical ability

3. Can heal faster in the bubble shield

4. Can recover teammates faster in bubble shield

5. Take less damage and do not slow down by bullets

6. Can call a heavy air strike over a wide range

Octane:

1. Can heal slowly when he is not fighting as passive (1 health per 2 seconds)

2. Can run faster for 6 seconds (cost health)

3. Can through a jump pad to jump higher

I don't ask for a nerf, but for a fair game, legends should be a bit more balanced I guess.

    @Alphabets Agreed that Gibraltar has too much to his kit and don't mind the tweaking or elimination of some of his abilities. Normally I reply on the account Heme725 and have not hidden my dislike for the Gibraltar buffs.

    That said I don't like how dishonest players are when discussing balancing issues. Rebalance him and weaken/eliminate the gun shield as necessary but don't lie about his capabilities.

      @Zamaha400 Oh, I'm not lying, he can take a full mag from the Havoc with nothing but blue shields from the back and still have enough health to deal with an opponent. Seriously, I've been there, managed to sneak behind an enemy Gibby and unload a full Havoc mag into his back earlier, and I still had to do something like sixty more damage (not including ADS shield, I'm pretty sure his was broken) to kill him. I guess a Gibby main wouldn't call that OP, but then again, a Gibby main isn't using one of the balanced legends. All I'm saying is, he takes too much damage! With a purple shield, he has thirty extra health not including the extra 50 (or 75) his passive gives him (for the record, with his passive-active, he can potentially have blue armor stacked on his purple armor), so if you really think he's balanced...
      One thing that'd really help, tho, is to remove the slow down effect when being shot from all legends. Also, a one V. one should definitely be more balanced against Gibby than it is, Gibby shouldn't be carrying you through one V. ones

        @Robo_The_Man-Bot I distinctly remember downing a purple armored Gibby with one clip from the havoc so this comment confused me. I had to double check and the havoc does 18 damage per shot so that's 630 damage. Even if damage reduction knocked that down to 16 per shot that's still well over 500 damage he survived. Even if it only did 10 damage per shot a blue shielded Gibby wouldn't survive gun shield or not.

        Gibby does give me an advantage in a straight up 1v1 if my opponent has no cover but only if they choose to fight by my rules. His strength in that scenario is undeniable but you are overstating how effective he is.
