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

@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

  @Tperodactyl Honestly, i would've just tried to regroup if i could and tell my team, "Hey lets get this fat boi".
  But if there was nowhere to go then you did all you could i guess.

  @Tperodactyl Side step behind cover. If he panics you'll see Gibraltar try to run after you or away from you. Moving = no gun shield = dead Gibby. Worst case scenario would be if he dropped his dome but even that is barely a hindrance.
  It also depends on what weapon Gibraltar is using. Reloading forces him to drop his gun shield so if you make him miss a few shots you can dive him with no worries.
  Not that you can use it but his height can also be a negative for him. Back in S1 I remember a Lifeline sliding directly into my feet and disappearing under my fat gut. Couldn't find her until I jumped and slid away.
  Also you mentioned having the Devotion? That does enough damage to shred through Gibraltar gun shield and all. If you shoot first and don't miss it should be impossible to lose with that gun.
