Dive.
High Burst and 1hit kill attacks.
High damage ult that some characters can never avoid.
Survivability with shields on every ability hit.
Attacks have large hitboxes and are like an ultimate.
Can stand there and block damage.
High Mobility, he can disengage anytime.
High Health.
Its just way too much, if your team does not have multiple direct counters and coordination he can stay up forever by just running away.
He needs significant downsides if he’s going to have that many tools.

Dive in general is good right now but I would argue Monkey is better right now at supporting his team than doom. Doom is a hyper selfish pick in the current meta and is for people who have fragile egos.

If dive is good then so is Doom. I don’t think it’s Doom himself that is enabling it though, he isn’t the best option every time.
i audibly laughed out loud when i read this line
thank you for brightening my day in these dark times

Doom is statistically one of the worst preforming tanks right now.
And that is sad because he has the highest skill ceilings of the tanks.

Winston is statistically the worst dive tank to play on ladder. This has almost always been the case since ladder teams aren’t coordinated enough to facilitate his dives, and he’s easy to pressure out with poor timing. This isn’t the case in pro play, but that’s another story. Doom, despite his selfishness, is somewhere in the middle and Ball is the best.
Just say you got gapped man you dont need to lie

He’s too powerful? You won’t find any decent Doom players until probably Masters, and compared to OW1 Doom:
- Pretty sure his shotgun was nerfed, and it’s basically useless against anyone beyond 4 meters or anyone who didn’t get punched into a wall
- RP originally did 30+40 (60 empowered), the stun and knockback were reduced. Now do 100-125 total
- Uppercut replaced with a 2 second 80% mitigation Block with an 8 second CD that’s useless against hard CC and sticky bombs, and needs to block 100 in 1 go to empower his RP, which could very well have to be used as an escape
- Slam got better mobility, but capped at 50 as opposed to 125 and lost all its CC
- And his ult is almost useless.
And what did he get in return? Better mobility on Slam, RP can hit multiple targets, and an extra 200 hp (50 in OQ).
You say he’s too strong when he’s the only tank who for the most part can’t tank alone? He’s not weak, but I say he’s due for buffs that only make sense given how much he lost and to better compliment his kit. Besides, his passive only gives like 30 per enemy hit with his abilities. How many extra bullets can he survive with an extra 30 decaying hp?
He’s not too strong, you just suck against him.

There was a time when D VA (my main) and Winston used to be good dives , not anymore .
Doom may not be tanking alone , but he can disrupt and make enemy vulnerable to dps he is the best dive pick , believe it or not .
I guess being countered by almost everyone isn’t enough.
I play in Diamond-GM lobbies, can confirm. Good Doom players are very common and very very effective. Usually the most effective member on their team. Below that though I’ve noticed Doom is a borderline throw pick.
That’s because most Doomfists you see were once DPS Doomfist mains with hundreds of hours. So they never gave up when he became a tank and managed to find a way to play the Doomfist that is weak under the general person’s control and make him strong to say “IN YOUR FACE” to whoever tells them to switch because they think he’s weak. Imagine if he was still DPS… Just be grateful he’s weaker as a tank now than he was as DPS. Cos if he still was, you would be seeing plays like this from Doomfist mains regularly.

I only play him in FFA now because while I love playing him (I’m plat, I think I made Diamond once, OW2 comp bs demoted me to silver), I’m not comfortable with that kind of pressure. I don’t feel like getting falsely banned for it and dealing with Blizzard’s near nonexistent service.
If you are a good Doom player it’s not hard to oneshot combo. If you are bad then it probably seems impossible.

Don’t worry everyone. Our guy here is still using internet explorer- he’s obviously complaining about DPS fist.
