@Slender-v1 yep he's irritating at range since the fight won't end until you rush him. Inevitably I'm flanked by his team while Gibby distracts me.
@23dannyt23 Not sure if you're joking but slowing him down is a pointless change. It's just a nerf to say "we nerfed him" without addressing any of the current complaints.
@EryxApex Can't hide, can't trade, can't camp. Yeah that's a difficult combo to fight.

so if its right off the drop and i have one of the best starting early guns in a devotion, im just supposed to run away when hes right outside my building? he didnt see me. i got the jump on him and hit him for 80 before he even did any damage to me yet i still lose. and no it wasnt my aim that was the issue, its his broken arm shield

@Tperodactyl Honestly, i would've just tried to regroup if i could and tell my team, "Hey lets get this fat boi".
But if there was nowhere to go then you did all you could i guess.

@Tperodactyl Side step behind cover. If he panics you'll see Gibraltar try to run after you or away from you. Moving = no gun shield = dead Gibby. Worst case scenario would be if he dropped his dome but even that is barely a hindrance.
It also depends on what weapon Gibraltar is using. Reloading forces him to drop his gun shield so if you make him miss a few shots you can dive him with no worries.
Not that you can use it but his height can also be a negative for him. Back in S1 I remember a Lifeline sliding directly into my feet and disappearing under my fat gut. Couldn't find her until I jumped and slid away.
Also you mentioned having the Devotion? That does enough damage to shred through Gibraltar gun shield and all. If you shoot first and don't miss it should be impossible to lose with that gun.

@Ironflower196 Yeah i think certain maps cater a lot to different legends. For instance the building design in kings canyon allows wattson to be a great pick, able to cordon off entire buildings, in a map like olympus not so much.
I think its an issue for the meta to cater greatly towards specific legends on specific maps. Although id argue that players should be flexible with who they can utilize effectively.

He just needs nerf or a better counter. Gibby was one of the worst legends when the game dropped but now is one of the top. I would say they could nerf his gun shield to 50 and then buff some other legends. The only good counters I know of is Revenant and Grenades. I have been main hopping for awhile now and find it more fun to play the worst characters XD. Gibby is good but is too popular. I think they should just buff more characters to allow some of the newer characters to be in the top tiers. I don’t know a single new character that any top apex professional has claimed to be A or S tier.

#1.I believe they nerfed his gun shield down to 50 ages ago.
#2. Everyone wants to complain about damage reduction but it isn't doing much for Caustic.
I have no real stance on the rest of his kit being OP or not. I'm not a fan of any of his changes other than the greater distance he can use his abilities.
