>>7148679>>7163622Gib is only mandatory because he fixes bad positions and forces close range fights, also prevents easy third partying without zip/pad. His kit is just really good and allows him to be very flexible. Ideally a team doesn't need Gib if they traverse carefully(Crypto can help with this) or are capable of dealing with a fight fast enough that the threat of a third party is no longer a problem. Then again, why take that risk? Every team will just pad in to third party.
I feel that any change to the meta will be temporary without nerfing Gibraltar.
>>7148515Gib kit is very flexible and the only holes are his cooldowns. You have
>Watt = can wall jump, pad, grapple over fence unless you lock down a house or room, >Rampart = gets flanked or in the most shameful display, rotated out of her amp cover and enemy team uses amp cover against her. Also issues where blocking doors with cover caused more problems than actually keeping enemies out.
>Caustic = gas nerfed, buffed, nerfed every other season. Easiest to bully but at least he can play actively and aggressively needing the least amount of set up time.Gib is actually "fun" to play. Beni has had more success with Gib than using other characters. Big stats, strong ult and tactical saves her skin a lot of times because she's always out of cover and easily ambushed. Really would prefer if his ult and Bangalore's were switched.
