The same Classic over and over? This is the 3rd Doom Classic. Can we please get something else?

I’m not a fan of DPS Doom at all.
But, that’s part of classic. He was in the state that he was in, in those modes. Like, that was a thing back then.
It will likely happen any time they bring back a classic mode.

I love the current and finally playable owc!
we finally get 6v6 role q how the game should be played.
i honestly don’t care what other think this is absolutely PEAK OVERWATCH! 
Haven’t had such a addiction to the game since 2020.
why are people so hyper focused on a single hero?

He’s profoundly unfun to play against, for all roles. Especially on tank - he knocks you around constantly and he does high burst damage.

Sadly in those times he wasnt as popular as he is now , so now we are bound to have a dps doom EVERY DAMN GAME

I take it as an opportunity for Doomfist players to remember how hated their character is, too.

Haha same, i’ll be like, damnn im glad they gutted doom for ow 2 :3
I agree he is dangerous, but it shows how great ow used to be.
don’t peel for doom, he wipes your team.
peel for doom and he pops faster than a water baloon.
ow2 I just ignore him and let my supports deal with him themselves, they can do it.
not in ow1, as it should.
Yes and no. Like technically Doom is in the same balance state. But as Andough already pointed out, almost nobody played him back then. He had a very low pick rate. Now he’s in every game. This means the experience is very different because what is being played is very different. And it’s not a good different. It just reminds me how much I never ever want that version of Doomfist to ever come back.

Peeling for him when he can CC you, and has one-shot potential, is not…great.
There are a lot more Doomfist players in this mode because he doesn’t exist as a DPS anymore. People are playing him a lot because of it. He was more universally hated than Sombra in OW1. Doesn’t matter if he’s weak or strong - he is profoundly unfun to play against because he burst damages and constantly CC’s with 3 different abilities.
Back then in my plebian rank of gold (ow2 plat), dooms sucked. They missed their punches and fumbled a lot. Doom had the Widow effect in spawn from start of round one… “swap off, youre gonna do air”…
Because 9.9 times out of 10, they would in fact, do air.
Ftp brought in all the fps junkies to the lower ranks that lacked the positioning and non mechanical skills but made up for it with mechanical skills. Thats my headcanon for why everyone can play well with these heroes that historically megasucked at my rank and therefore were not annoying to play into in the low ranks.
Seriously i would duel dooms and widows with support easily.
Also… back in ow1 people communicated more and focused targets more. Not like the high ranks, just… more than now. Doom would get deleted. The mindset in ow2 skews more to the ‘not my problem you deal with it’ in many games.

People also kind of learned how to play Doom without turbo feeding and are significantly better at him than they were before

What’s the point of these events tbh ? you don’t see that often in other games playing some old version of the game from 5 years ago, half of the characters didn’t exist yet, some are completely reworked so it’s bad for muscle memory… that’s weird I hate this nostalgia milking
For me as a dive player thats great, I do love having mobile heroes on my team diving in with me. So its actually great to me not relying on tanks to play mobile heroes and having a dps Partner that likes to go in.
I can see the Frustration from non cc players, but theres enough to deal with doom imho with brig, bap, sombra with her 2min hack, 6dmg tracer etc.
And I know how dangerous doom can be, I am a ohk to basically all of his abilities and I do enjoy it a lot.
It does feel a lot more strategic than current ow to me.
but I understand that people hate him, people also hate tracer and ball and sombra. basically everything that moves a bit to fast and is lethal.
for me, this is absolutely peak overwatch. 
if it was to me, it would be permanent. I don’t wanna play ow2 anymore after enjoying this absolut blast of old overwatch.
yeah the other owc where not so great (mostly because of missing role q. Now with role q, I am absolutely in love.)
I do miss kiriko and have 0 interesst in the support role because the heroes are terrible there. But tank and dps? oh baby did I miss those awesome times for tank and dps.
so for me all ow2 did was add enjoyable support heroes but also completely ruin the game with s9, s12, perks, etc.
I would just add kiriko and maybe juno into 2020 patch and it would be the best Version ever. Then I could alos enjoy support But what I can say is, OG ow1 support players have my respect, ow2 support player? nope they play the game on ez mode.
ow1 supports where actually great at the game with dps doom, 6dmg tracer around and they still get big value on zen as example. Hats off to those chads.
now a days in ow2, I play support to calm down and relax.
well classic is a limited mode, whereas 5v5 role queue is the main mode and is never going away
while you will eventually escape the dps doom torment, i will forever be suffering at the hands of ow2 sombra for all eternity (unless i play comp)
That’s probably because most games don’t live for around a decade. They either die before then or they’re replaced by a sequel, and only the most diehard fans stick around.
I don’t mind as long as these things are in their own mode. I’d be really annoyed if OWC had replaced Max 2 Tanks but as it is? Eh, whatever.
