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 ...

I don't get why people keep thinking NC was supposed to surpass Gibby, the reason he came before Vantage was cause devs realize was Gibby was being used alot in high play, so in hopes of weening some people off Gibby they pushed out NC. That aside, NC ult has better synergy with the set up defenses "Wattson, Rampart, Caustic" then Gibby can ever achieve when paired with them, so purpose wise they aren't meant to played in same fashion as "plug in this movement over that one."

You are missing a point, yes New Castle might be a good match with Caustic, Rampart and Watson, but who will take 3 defence legends? Teams need a mobility + a recon + a defence to work.

The reason people wanted NC to be better than Gibby is to see a change in meta, when Blood hound is better than Seer, When Gibby is better than NC, When Kings Canyon is a Ranked map after 2 years, people get board of the game… we need some change, we hope new legends bring a change to the meta, a new team combination… but it hasn’t happened in a long long time. Wraith, Pathfinder, Gibby, Caustic, etc we’re on top almost since 2019; Seer, Loba, Revenant, Rampart, Fuse, etc didn’t really change the meta or team combinations that much, specifically in Ranked
