Buff Doomfist, devs

General Discussion

Geoff and team, do you honestly think Doomfist is in a good spot?

The majority of the Damage roster is kinda subpar. But it’s unavoidable considering how redundant they all are and how little they provide to team comps.

There’s a reason that it’s the lowest winrate role

To me doomfist’s hp gains was the only thing that needed a toning back. His prime fire adjustment and ultimate nerf was a tad to strong. Doomfist and junkrat need small reverts to their original primary fire.

Id long been curious how doomfist wouldve felt with his maximum shield capacity reduced.

I feel his shield gain itself is fine- and necessary due to how he operates, and in MOST circumstances not a problem. But I feel it going to 400 may have been an issue.

Id been curious how say 350 would feel.

Not with his current garbo kit of course.

xD this. He was unbalanced for way too long. It is nice to have him in a more toned down state.

The fact that any members here are happy with heroes in the dumpster is what i view to be a large problem with this community.

I dont want any heroes there- No hero deserves to be trash in most situations.

I agree, but at the same time when he was strong he was the most frustrating hero I’ve ever had to deal with for months. There has to be some kind of middle ground.

Revert BOTH slam nerfs and rework the ult, simple

Rework him, or if you don’t want to put in the effort, keep him in the trash. He is infuriating to play against.

Stop playing Ana if you are getting countered then

Want to me to play what? Moira? Sorry, but I feel like being of use.

Dont complain then (Moira is actually a good option alongside Lucio)

Yes I do. I didn’t have a minimum chance of fighting Doomfist and he had a “guarantee safe kill” with his ultimate. Because of that he’s in the garbage, thankfully.

This game shouldn’t be like that and the devs agree.

Moira sucks. She is just healing and nothing else. There is no depth, no nothing.

I feel some context may be necessary here.

Doomfist where 9/10 players exist on ladder- operated at a nearly 50% win rate (notably gold and plat, which themsleves house a combined 3/5s of the player base).

His win rate was a little high in the upper tiers- such as GM, which represents 1% of the player base

But, context. Doomfist was winning about 2~ games more out of 100, than the predominant meta picks at the time. Heroes who are picked basically every game, often on both sides at once.

At his best doomfist was picked about once every other game by one side.

As strategies changed, and more importantly counters got buffs- both of these rates went down a little.

To go with this doomfist was basically a non issue in the profession scene as well

Doomfist was not unbalanced. He was quite arguably at a balance level where most heroes should be. Under the 50% mark at lower tiers, at the 50% mark at mid tiers, and above the mark at the highest tiers. Where- while he was powerful in situations that were realistic to encounter, he wasnt so powerful and vital to the meta that he became a must pick.

I want MORE heroes like that. Not less.

He was kneecapped not because he wasnt balanced. But because players didnt like dying to him.

When you’re getting killed by Doomfist over and over again as Ana, you’re not going to switch right

So you don’t stay behind shields, walls, or pillars. And you don’t move in multiple directions?

A “little high” you mean 58%? That was the highest recorded win rate in Overbuff, if i’m not mistaken.

We don’t balance for those tiers.

Yeah. Floating through roofs, guarantee killing Zens and Anas, stun-locking people… Doomfist has a terrible design. Hard CC for the sake of it. Everyone else is glad he’s trash.

God no. Do you think being pressed E, SHIFT, and Left Clicked two times interesting, when you couldn’t do jack about it? Do you think being ulted and being basically helpless fun?

Thank god for his hit detection bugs. Also good how he could silently press E and then I couldn’t do jack.

GUARANTEED to kill Ana and Zen. Terrible design.

Not a main healer.

Good damn thing he caught me in the open and he has a huge damn radius.

As if that saved me before. You died no matter what you did. If you didn’t get killed instantly I would just be left clicked.

You just suck at landing Sleep dart on a massive target that moves on a straight line

Never was guaranteed

Again stop complaining if your counter keeps killing you
