How has this happened?

Right, now I fully understand that Caustic was overpowered on Kings Canyon but how has he got a nerf when Gibby is literally running around like a tank? 

Olympus is around the corner and it is a categorically renowned fact that Caustic is no where near as effective on this map than Kings. So why nerf him now? 

I think, the only thing that need to be looked at with Gibby is his arm shield, I think the cool down timer needs to be fixed, @hayhor once made a great statement about Gibby saying that his arm shield gives you nearly triple the amount of shield more when popping a cell, compared to another character this just isn't right. 

Let me know what you think, or who you think is the most OP character at the moment.

  • @rockyboy1998 Gibby needs to be nerfed to the ground, the bleed-through is not enough.
    either reduce the arm shield to 25 HP or increase the cooldown timer or decrease the fortified perk to 5 % instead of 15.
    In my personal opinion, this Legend should not be in Ranked mode and I can not believe how stupid it is to keep him this much OP until now
  • Gibby was nerfed?

    - Damaging Gibraltar's Gun Shield now counts as damage towards Evo Shield and stats

    - Damage that exceeds the Gun Shield’s 50hp will now bleed through to damage Gibraltar

  • @rockyboy1998 DanielKlein actually said they are working on bigger nerfs for gibby and horizon. The changes were not ready for this update tho. Hopefully next time!
  • @hayhor They will nerf her insane strafe speed when on top of gravity lift, add sound effects for when you are mid-air(also works for Octane silent jumppad issue).
  • @hayhor yeah iirc they tried to use Caustic but I wonder why they decided to not use him anymore....

    @Daze623 Because he isnt as OP as they say. Caustics usage in pro events has dropped a ton the last 2 or 3 tournaments. The like to cry about nothing.

    @Daze623 I dont think the nerf will affect his usage that much in competitive. The wattson buff is much much bigger. I predict a bunch of wattsons in the next one.
