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

@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 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.

  @Slender-v1 I definitely don't think Caustic or Wattson are very effective on Olympus, Wattson more so. Caustic i feel dominates WE, and ill go back to him as my 2nd in ranked. The character i feel has risen the most is Bang, the new map along with her ult buff has really helped make her a more viable option in ranked.
