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

@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.
so if its right off the drop and i have one of the best starting early guns in a devotion, im just supposed to run away when hes right outside my building? he didnt see me. i got the jump on him and hit him for 80 before he even did any damage to me yet i still lose. and no it wasnt my aim that was the issue, its his broken arm shield
- @Slender-v1 No doubt he is frustrating to fight and I have noticed that his usage seems to be going up. He is my 2nd in ranked next to path and he feels great when I play him. I also feel wraith is finally starting to decline a little, but I think on Olympus Gibby is the best character to run. He has so much value, his dome is so great on this map with all the ppl snipping constantly he throws it down and it so nice to be able to breath for a few seconds and loot. His ultimate is extremely useful as well and there is a lot you can do with it. And we already mentioned the gun shield lol.
@Ironflower196 Yeah i think certain maps cater a lot to different legends. For instance the building design in kings canyon allows wattson to be a great pick, able to cordon off entire buildings, in a map like olympus not so much.
I think its an issue for the meta to cater greatly towards specific legends on specific maps. Although id argue that players should be flexible with who they can utilize effectively.
Not true he can fight just as evasively
Can we nerf him already? Theres no reason he needs an arm shield and take less damage. Hes not possible to 1v1 in a fair fight, its broken. Get rid of his arm shield. 75hp is unbelievably broken
- @Tperodactyl No we can't he is in a good place. Stop trippin.
