They have given Gibby yet another buff. I was on board with the fast heal in dome, but now they've overdone it. Matter of fact, you should just call him Gibline, because they're giving Gibby everything that made Lifeline special. Soon, she will be the underused legend.Yes, Gibby had a rocky start... But after his fortifications and fast heal buff, they should have called it finished. Because now imo, Gibby is overpowered and this buff was completely unnecessary. Who even wanted this? I bet they only did this so they could add his pickup animation. What other legend has 3 passives?! Will they only stop once he has a pick rate higher than Pathfinders? If so, I'm calling QUITS on this game.Instead of focusing on Gibby, maybe Respawn should focus on legends who actually need buffs like Octane, Mirage and Crypto (yes, crypto finally got his buff but even that was underwhelming).My suggestion would be to revert the Gibby buff, and dare I say, the Wraith nerf as well, and focus more attention on Crypto, Mirage and Octane. Either that or give every Legend a 2nd passive ability. Because this Gibby obsession Respawn has is getting ridiculous.

guyz guyz the fat shaming needs to STOP 😃

@1xZephyrus I don't know but Lifeline offers free heals and she has a constant speed buff on heals.What they both have now is protection when reviving and fast revive.Gibby has his personal shieldHe has a dome that offers fast heal only when inside it.I do see this being an issue but I have yet to encounter Gibby using any of his new or past buffs. Not many people throw a dome down that is bright orange to enemies.They should buff lifeline to offer 75% health when revived by her. than I feel it would even the playing field

Whiners?Give me a good reason why you'd choose LIFELINE over GIBBY now?Don't worry, I'll wait.

@iBlockHead It's not really comparable.What lifeline has is 180° frontal coverage, which ends the moment she revives a legend.Gibraltar has a 360° coverage with protection from above during a revive, plus the now reduced revive time, leaving enough dome time to heal up also.Throw in his quicker dome heals and he basically is 2 legends rolled into one. Despite the OP's flare for the dramatic he's raised a perfectly good point.

No legend should have the same passive as another, let alone three damn passives. It's getting ridiculous and it's getting unbalanced. Why pick Lifeline if Gibby can do the same plus more? Makes no sense.

Should we call Gibby by a new name? Gibline?

Gibby has his personal shield
He has a dome that offers fast heal only when inside it.

@1xZephyrus Lifeline isn't the size of a small cargo truck? If we're going by your exaggerated reasoning, why would people pick Wraith when Pathfinder is clearly there?

@MandatoryIDtag I understand his point which is why I said I see it being an issue, but have yet to come across it.

I offered the last buff for Lifeline as a means to put her back as a desirable character to even things out. I mean she is a medic so giving a boost of health even if its temporary and it depleted after x seconds would be nice and still make sense.
