New castle Vs Gibby

So both are big and easy targets and both got Fortified. Both have shields: one covers all around you, won’t get destroyed and won’t move. The other one is an open half shield that can be destroyed ...

An advantage to Newcastle is that he’s better at holding down a building than Gibby. NC’s ult can close dow huge doors.

A lot of people also didn’t know is that you can’t just hop over NC’s wall like Rampart shields. It has a stun and slow effect if you touch/hop over the ult.

But as a Gibby main, I’m not switching over. I can see a lot of potential with this new legend since he’s not an easy legend to use.

Other NC details

- You can’t use the Octane jump pad while reviving

- Crypto’s drone won’t destroy the ult but will only disable the stun/slow effect as I’ve mentioned above.

- NC Ult distance (35m solo and 70 if you jump to a teammate). Technically NC’s ult can be used as an escape ability by ulting to your teammate if you’re alone or separated.

@Cheese9Man I think Caustic and Watson are much better at holding buildings, they can use their tactical to lock all building while New Castle uses ultimate ability once to block a single door for just a limited time.
Also in case of Gibby and if anyone entered the building bubble is much more effective than a half shield in my opinion.
They keep saying he is good with effective abilities, but I really can’t see any improvement comparing to the legends we already had in game
