Apex Legends players call on Respawn to nerf Gibraltar amid \u201cboring\u201d meta Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players are calling on the battle royale\u2019s developers at Respawn Entertainment to nerf Gibraltar, with the gentle giant sitting at 100% pick rate in the most recent rounds of the North American ALGS. One of the game\u2019s base legends, Gibraltar has been perpetually popular in Respawn\u2019s battle royale. His all-around abilities and defensive playstyle have made him a go-to for many players wanting a reliable legend in most scenarios. Nerfs in recent seasons have seen him drop in viability and popularity slightly, currently sitting twelfth with a pick rate of 3.3% in all Apex matches. However, it\u2019s at high-level Apex where the gentle giant really thrives, with his recent pick rate in the Apex Legends Global Series sitting at 100%, meaning he is picked in every match. That, for some players, represents the need for a change. One Redditor pointed this out in a frustrated post on April 2, commenting: \u201cGibraltar literally has a 100% pick rate at the highest level of play. Can he just please get a nerf already?\u201d Attached was an image breaking down which legends have been picked at the NA\u2019s ALGS Split 1, with Gibby well out in front on 100%, picked 140\/140 times. In second place \u2013 but some way behind Gibby \u2013 was Loba, whose pick rate sits at just over 29.3%. It does suggest that, among pros at least, picking Gibby is a no-brainer and he is essential in every match. While that\u2019s not the case in matches at lower levels, it still led to many players echoing the OP\u2019s sentiment and calling for a nerf or rework. One said: \u201cMore like a rework, literally the most boring character to play, and nerfing him will just make him unplayable depending on how they nerf him.\u201d Another suggested a nerf, commenting: \u201cJust give his shield a health pool, adjust HP as you see fit.\u201d Naturally, Respawn will have the final call on any Gibby changes but, with him being played 100% of the time in the NA ALGS, there does look to be a case for tweaking some his abilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
