buff gibraltar

his dome is needing a buff, make it have a smaller cool down time.

when the fight starts gibraltar gets pummeled so he throws  down his dome, then before the cooldown stops his team needs the dome and screams for the dome. i dont enjoy this screaming for help so i ask u for a dome cool down buff.

  • @gg123xyz How many more buffs do you want, huh? He already had lot of buffs, not to mention the fast revive which ofc was not needed. NO MORE BUFFS!
  • @gg123xyz I don't think this is much needed. I began using Gib more often and find the cool down to be just right.

    If you feel the need to use it twice during one match vs another team than that's a clear sign the battle is taking way to long and you should pull out before getting 3rd partied.

    I time my dome use to when a teammate is down or they lost 100% of health/shield
    - So a full lvl3 armor break or lvl1 break with 50% health.

    If you want to use it a bit more constantly than ask for the lvl4 helmet so that you can protect your team more and drop more ults.

    @gg123xyz Unfortunately you'll have to develop a new playstyle with Gibraltar's abilities. I'd advise running/dodging to protect your dome or make a quick decision to run/fight. Unless you're playing with your own squad chances are you won't make good use of his abilities and will have to dive fights without them more often than you'd like.

    @iBlockHead The situation he's describing involves him being ambushed and forced to use his dome. At which point that ability is now out for the rest of the fight. If a teammate needs to be protected/healed/revived then they're screwed since Gibby was forced to protect himself. Given how much he's been buffed this is a fair weakness for him to have but it does make the character uncomfortable to play. its fair but not fun.

    The level 4 helmet also doesn't feel as useful on Gibraltar since his buff. The Ult charges fast enough that I feel like I don't need it and the cool down on his dome went from 20 seconds to 30 so the helmet won't allow him to use it more than once per fight. Its helpful buts its 'meh' for Gibraltar in season 3.

  • yeah ? do you really think that he need a buff ? 

    lets review his buffs and abilities that he have already 

    1.gun shield with 75 HP

    2.dome shield 

    3.10 % less damage 

    4.25 % faster healing under the dome 

    5.quick revive under the dome 

    6.air strike 

    so yes lets give him another buff ....lets make him able to fly any time he wants or shoot laser from his eyes

    dude come on.... this guy is already over ..over powered , actually you need two R99 mags to bring him down and that if he had lvl 3 shield so imagine if he is having lvl 4 shield with 50% faster healing and add to it the new super weapon G7 then u will have a full package with him

    Respawn been manipulating with legends since the community started complaining each one with the things that he individually want to satisfy his own needs  and not what its really needed.

    and if Respawn is seeing this and is going to answer these requests then i need life line to be buffed .....yeah i want her to be able to heal while running and remove the 5% extra damage also to have a 100 % chance of  legendary item in every care package  and reduce care package cool down time and increase the healing speed to 40%.

    the game was just perfect at the time of launch which i started playing it since first week , it just needed to fix some bugs and glitches but there was no need to start changing with legends health and damage receiving .

    if they keep on changing things they will reach a point where no one is happy at all about some specific thing and will stop playing this game because of that and will say this game sucks and company will start  losing player base and honestly it will not be the company fault , it will the community fault because they don't want to adapt to the game but they want the game to adapt to them .

    this is my opinion and if you see that am wrong then please ...we can discuss and in the end right is right and wrong is wrong 

  • @heme725 I still stand with my point. If you need to use it more than once, you're taking too long, even if you are being ambushed.

    Ambushed just means you pop the shield right away, take cover and heal up while peeking out and taking shots at the enemy to allow your team to heal and keeping them back so they can't all rush together.

    I've been in all kinds of fights with Gib and I now understand how big his dome is and the height which it covers in order to better position the shield for CQC to only protect me or to adjust my throw in order to reach a teammate and provide them with cover.

    Again you have 2 other teammates who should be using their tact/ult to also help the team and position everyone in a better spot.

    Gib is balanced enough right now and the speed heal/rez is a major part of it to allow you to revive those players who made a mistake and bring them back into the fight faster.
  • @gg123xyz No way, he's already OP as it is and he has multiple abilites. He has his arm shield, he has the dome, he has his airstrike, he has quick revive in the dome, your squad mates get quick heal in the dome.. It's ridiculous as it is.

    That is 5 abilities while every other legend only has 3. Now you want him to be buffed even more? Come on, Gibi is already a close combat god with that arm shield. You toss the dome shield into the mix and he's nearly impossible to beat. Plus your squad mates should be able to carry their weight w/o your legends abilities.

    If you're getting into pickles in close combat as Gibi that's on you... I'm frequently the first to shoot when I come across Gibis and they STILL down me despite me unloading half a clip into them before they even start shooting.

    @maximas1986 #1 You're right he doesn't need a buff

    #2 I hate 70% of the buffs he's received.

    #3 They changed his ult but didn't really buff it. Can be used more frequently and from a greater distance but less effective at zoning out enemies.

    #4 Why would you have a scenario where you fight Gibby with an R-99 instead of the G7? I laugh at R-99 users and run away from the G7 as Gibraltar. High damage per shot is ideal against him.

    @iBlockHead I agree with you on keeping fights as short as possible just that your answer didn't address his situation. As someone who used Gibraltar since season 1 your solution to an ambush is correct but not viable. Random team mates just dive fights regardless of situation which is why I mentioned needing your own squad if you want to use his abilities effectively.

    Again your solution isnt wrong @iBlockHead and its often what I try to do but it won't work with a random squad.

    I hated Kings Canyon since random team mates will always force a fight out of my control and into an area where I can't Ult/dome or make use of my gunshield due to how much hopping through buildings we're doing.

    @gg123xyz As Gibby be decisive in how you'll act. His cooldowns are long and his abilities necessitate you stand still to fight so make a quick choice to finish the fight or run.

  • @heme725 yeah you are right but i used the R99 example as its the most used weapon for me i even use R99 combo sometimes but recently i started using G7 and R99 combo .
    but R99 shreds any other legend with one mag if used correctly but with this guy its never possible to be accomplished due to his gun shield
