avg players can suck with any character if they arent a good player so u aint saying nothing...anywho gibralter's fat ass is top tier now if u didnt know
Apex Legends’ Gibraltar received a surprise buff in the latest update. The character now revives allies faster within his dome shield. Many in the community were shocked at the buff. Some considered Gibraltar to be overtuned and occupying the role of a tankier Lifeline, who plays the healer and support role.
In spite of the humor, fans showed legitimate concern regarding Gibraltar’s state. The legend began season three
with a buff that increased the speed at which players used healing items within the dome shield, but also increased its cooldown. Now, he’s able to revive teammates faster inside his protective dome.
Users are concerned about his apparent hypertrophy and that he may occupy a space that was previously Lifeline’s. He has a dome of protection that closes off an area from enemy fire and ordnances, and creates a safe space for healing, reviving, or just regrouping. Lifeline’s shield is considerably smaller, but can be deployed whenever a teammate is downed.
At the same time, Gibraltar is loaded with the sturdiness inherent to his design as a Shielded Fortress. To counteract his large hitbox, the legend takes 15 percent less damage and isn’t slowed down by bullets. He carries an arm-mounted gun shield that can absorb bullets and grenades. Lifeline, on the other hand, has the Low Profile passive skill to offset her smaller hitbox, which increases incoming damage by five percent.
Parts of the community also disagreed with Respawn’s decision to buff Gibraltar and overlook legends such as Mirage, Bloodhound, and Octane.
A fanmade survey revealed that 91 percent of players think the holographic trickster could use some balancing, followed by Bloodhound, Crypto, and Octane. The latter received a few buffs to his drone with the latest update, but the rest of the characters are still untouched.
