Format has been updated

Mobility

  1. Reduce all cool downs to 75% of their current value.
  1. Increase rising uppercut’s vertical range by 10% - 15%.
  1. Let Seismic Slam transport Doomfist onto ledges rather than just down.
  1. Rocket Punch can be used in 3 dimensions, similar to Genji’s Swift Strike.
  1. Reduce the time it takes to charge up Rocket Punch’s to it’s MAX.
  1. Increase Rocket Punch’s force release timer.
  1. Slightly increase Doomfist’s movement speed when charging Rocket Punch.

  1. On ability hit, reduce all other abilities cooldown by 1s for each target hit.

Durability

  1. Let Damage dealt by Doomfist’s HAND CANNON trigger THE BEST DEFENSE… :unicorn:
  1. Shields generated by THE BEST DEFENSE… heal the normal health pool as the shield fades away.
  1. Give Rocket Punch a damage reduction mechanism.
  1. Increase Meteor Strike’s knock back effect by X%.
  1. As Rocket Punch charges up Doomfist gains 25 shield per second.
  1. Increase the Max temporary shield generated by THE BEST DEFENSE… to 200, and increase the minimum shield gained to 40

Predictability

  1. Ability cooldown’s start 1 second after use instead of on completion.
  1. Rocket Punch knocks back all of the same targets that Reinhardt’s Charge does.

  1. Enemies that physically contact Doomfist while Seismic Slam is traveling to its destination, will be grabbed and dragged to the landing location.
  1. Enemies hit by uppercut should hover the same way Doomfist hovers when they hit the ceiling.
  1. :new: Using Meteor Strike resets all abilities.

here is 1
Mobility Improvement idea for Doomfist’s existing kit
Reduce the used ability’s cooldown by 1 second on miss.

This would conditionally relieve some of the pressure of managing Doomfist’s cooldowns.

Ooo I like a lot of these, I especially think the punch should have some degree of vertical range

Big fan of a lot of these. Wish we could do traditional polls on these forums.

more damage for ultimate (500 in the center, 100 minimun damage ) OR enemies affected by the ultimate get knocked down like if hit by reindhart’s ultimate

His left click needs improvement as well. As it is, a hacked Doomfist is depressingly useless.

Id also like the ability to cancel his slam. Too many times do i try to slam and find myself falling to death. No other ability locks a hero until they interact. Even reins charge has an end

IMO Doomfist should have an activated defense ability to contrast his offence. A defensive ability combined with his passive would make it feel Doomfist has more control over when he dies.

11

what about whenever his ability and/or Ult lands a hit, it reduces all other abilities currently on cooldown by 1 sec.

I am not the biggest fan of adding more positive feedback loops to Doomfist’s kit, but I’ll put it on the list.

Bumping this again, just ridiculous that he’s not gotten anything else yet.

I’m in the same boat with you, but we should keep in mind that Blizzard has a ton of things going on including the upcoming release of Brigitte. I’m sure Doomfist will get some more love one day. In the meantime I’m gonna post/link to as many meaningful ideas as I can think of or find.

i suggest rocket punch has the 7 second cool down and seismic slam has the 4 second cool down. combo- seismic slam>uppercut>rocket punch… this seems like the more natural combo. they can change the damage if need be

where as the rocket punch is used to close the combo i.e. attack a new enemy or get the heck out of dodge.

There’s zero reason to penalize any part of Doomfist’s kit in the process of buffing him. Seismic and Uppercut need reducing, period.

I’ve seen some insane Doomfists in gm. He’s extremely powerful in GOOD HANDS. Let’s not overtune him.

Probably already been said but I’d like to see doomfist’s ult center be 350 damage instead of 300 so I can specifically kill bastions.

Added to the list.

Thank you for the suggestion :).

There’s no reason it doesn’t do as much as Pulse Bomb in the epicenter. It’s GD Doomfist! Why does his ultimate do less damage than Tracer’s?

And every single one of those players would do better with another DPS with the same amount of practice and time invested. The character can be effective, but that doesn’t hide his obvious deficiencies.
