Should we call Gibby by a new name? Gibline?

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.

    Gibby voice line is filled by movie actor, he's the most expensive legends to operate.

    Respawn make mistake on the design but they still has to pay a lot of money.

    CEO to Accountant: Why our profit so small ??

    Accountant             : We have huge bill to Gibby voice actor.

    CEO                       : Why we have so much bill but get most least revenue from him ??

    Accountant             : Don't ask me, ask the design team.

    CEO to design : Can you make Gibby favorite/meta in the game ?

    Design team    : That is impossible boss, he's too fat and big, no body like him.

    CEO                : Do WHATEVER IT TAKES to make him the most favorite legends in the game, or all of you will get fired !

    Design team    : We will try our best boss.

    @GucciiWallet pretty sure he's not overweight, 265 pounds can't really be considered overweight considering the amount of armor he's wearing. You have to be pretty muscular to be carrying around all that gear all the time.

    Take a look at Sarah Robles, she's about the same weight as Gibralter, yet able to lift 352 pounds. It's pretty impressive. If you take a look at other Olympic weightlifters (not bodybuilders those are actually different.) they all roughly have the same body type as Gibralter.

    Couple of weeks from now you're gonna whine about Gibby.

    @Wingmannedbro I still have no issue in gunfights against this guy. He's strong off the drop, but he's still an easy target.
