Why another buff to gibby and take more from wraith!!!
You might as well give her a hobo skin, and give gibby tank tracks and and a automatic lazer guided rocket system!!!

Yet Wraith is still the most popular legend
I myself don't play Gibby very often, but welcome the buffs if it increases the diversity in legend representation.
There still needs to be a lot more done though;
The two top candidates for me are obviously:
- Bloodhound; trash tier. Ability & ultimate that are more often than not actively detrimental to your combat ability.
- Mirage; bamboozles are fun, but rarely impactful. His ultimate is weak, and his passive useless.
Could do with a few small tweaks to improve their in-combat performance:
- Crypto; No escape. Without good coordination, utilizing the drone slows the whole squad's navigation of the map & in-combat often breaks cohesion.
- Caustic; Not durable enough, Traps are only situationally useful, and are often detrimental to squad cohesion. Ultimate could do with a slightly shorter cooldown.
- Wattson; No escape.
In light of the changes to Gibby, I think the purpose of these two needs reexamining.
- Lifeline;
- Bangalore; bombardment eclipses rolling thunder in usefulness. The interaction between smokes & digital optics can be as detrimental as it is advantageous, and in defensive situations shield is usually better than smokes.
Obviously in need of a nerf:
- Pathfinder; He's my most played legend, and I thoroughly enjoy playing him.... however his grapple flinging is simply too good. His zipline is also one of the best ultimates.
I wouldn't want to make him unfun to play, but his ability to navigate the map quicker than any other legend, combined with the ability to straddle buildings and reach otherwise unreachable positions needs to be offset by some significant disadvantage.
Sure he's got a big(ish) hitbox... but its unconventional shape and atypical height does a lot to offset its larger surface area.
Completely happy with:
- Octane. The very definition of "vanilla with unique, fun & useful abilities".

To be fair does it really matter if they're changing the Meta with these updates? In my opinion it's about time the Meta started changing. So what if there are more Gibby's on the playing field? I'd say Lifeline and Gibby are close to equal strength with their different abilities.

How does that make any sense? Gibby basically has three overpowered abilities. Lifeline cannot take a crab shot and still have 100 percent health.

@Th3_VikiNG_WaYCheck out this thread where @blkarmphoenix and @pastaclown point out how both legends have advantages and disadvantages over each other:
