Fortified Perk is too low......

For Caustic that is,

Gibby is in a good spot with his arm shield and bubble. Caustic defense is a locked room behind a door, I think his should be 25% reduction because he has no other defense. 

Let's not kid ourselves guys, Gibby, Caustic, and Mirage are still some of the least played characters in the game. Don't lie to yourself and say you've seen an uptick in character selection just because there's 2-3 in match, versus the 20 Pathfinder and 20 Wraiths.

  • I dunno, i've seen tons of gibbies as of late, especially since Zeus, Daltoosh, etc have been running Gib in pro scrims.

    We have a saying in the netherlands, "one sheep over the dam" and the rest will follow.

    Nah, the 15% perk is good for them at the moment. There are times where you beam Caustic and he's still alive. Anyone but a Caustic and Gibby would have died. 

    Caustic's Fortify seems week only because Gibby has a Gun Shield that instantly pops up and prevents 75 damage. It takes 3 G7 shots to break a Gun Shield and the extra damage doesn't even go through at all. In this case, G7 did 102 damage towards the Gun Shield, then you can hit Gibby's body.

    @Wingmannedbro I've seen more Gibs and Caustics too. It still doesn't doesn't compare to the amount of Pathfinders and Wraiths and every other Legends other than Mirage seen. For every 10 Pathfinders you'll see 2 Caustics if that.

    @DankToliet Oh yeah its a great map for Gibby but a loss for Caustic. Wide open spaces so that my ultimate can be used and less enemies darting into and out of buildings so that I can maintain line of sight. Good times. I've never cared about the Fortified buff but it does save the bigger characters from being focused down in an ambushed. For direct fights it makes little difference and the abilities are key.

    Doesn't really matter the number of players who use Gibraltar or  Caustic; what matters is the fact that at the moment a Gibraltar or a Caustic win every face to face fight.

    Don't need to mention that after the increased damage for Wraith and Pathfinder when you use one of them two the only way to take down the two tanks is to do it in a sneaky way, hence camping!

    I believe that they are not in the position they are suppose to be, for me Gibraltar was op even before the buff, now it's just too much! 

  • As far as i'm concerned tank classes are supposed to be hard to kill. Y'all think gibby/caustic are bad? Go jump on overwatch and have a face to face with ol' Reinhardt. XD

    @AWOL_312 I expect Gibraltar to win any head to head fight where he doesn't have to move much but caustic? Gibraltar wins because of his gun shield and damage reduction isn't doing a lot for Caustic right now. Saying you need to camp to take one out is pure nonsense that I assume you're using to grab the support of players that hate camping.

    A Pathfinder should never lose against Gibraltar since the only way for Gibby to win is to stand still to trade shots. Highly mobile Legends are a pain to take on. If you choose to trade shots with a Legend whose primary strength is trading then you deserve to die.
