When is gibby getting nerfed?

Cant 1v1 this character at all. Having a 75hp shield is so damn broken combined that he has a 15% damage reduction. Pick one or the other

legends

@Tperodactyl Haha you're not supposed to 1v1 Gibbs, you gotta be crafty.

@Ironflower196 I agree that in most cases you shouldn't 1v1 gibby but in some cases you don't get that choice. Also a legend shouldn't get a free pass to loot early or be uncontested just because he's THICC.

@Slender-v1 I kind of want to fight these "good" Gibraltars I keep hearing about. Any loss I have against them is usually do to being stalled until his teammates drop me or a mistake on my part.
The only legend I fear less in a 1v1 is Caustic.
Use cover and burst him down gunshield or not. Don't have to worry about accuracy since he's a large target that won't bother moving much.
If you find yourself trading shots 1v1 against a Gibraltar then you already made a mistake. He can't fight evasively so his kit is built around trading. You're basically playing right into his only hand.

  @Zamaha400 Speaking of.. Me (Horizon) and random Lifeline (third guy quit) ran into a trio consisting of a Bloodhound (no point in hiding), a Gibraltar (no point in head to head combat) and a Caustic (just no) yesterday, and while they clearly anticipated a third guy flanking, our only saving grace was being third partied by Wraiths and Octanes en masse half a minute into the gunfight... Got a few of the Wraith players' teammates while the aforementioned trio were trying to fend off several rushing sweats, but the chaos soon swallowed me and my heroic teammate... Glorious.

  @Zamaha400 The most defensive offensive legend there is lol make him run slower then all run at 7 m per second make him run 5.5

  @Zamaha400 Speaking from experience I don't bother with long range engagements on a gibby, because hes only going to peek when he has his gun shield. So in most cases you either need to close the distance or just leave him alone. If its a 1v1 anyway.
  In my experience a hemlock will make quick work of him. I can usually knock him before he can drop his bubble.
  But i understand that most people get frustrated fighting him. And hes very popular on maps like W.E. and Olympus, so you run into him quite often.

    @Slender-v1 yep he's irritating at range since the fight won't end until you rush him. Inevitably I'm flanked by his team while Gibby distracts me.
    @23dannyt23 Not sure if you're joking but slowing him down is a pointless change. It's just a nerf to say "we nerfed him" without addressing any of the current complaints.
    @EryxApex Can't hide, can't trade, can't camp. Yeah that's a difficult combo to fight.
