Punch, Slam, Block, Punch.
He virtually has his punch at the end of every cd cycle, its kind of insane how basic hes become.

I wouldn’t say he’s low skill.
He’s just profoundly annoying and unparalleled with how disgusting and obnoxious he is to play against. I wouldn’t mind a good ol’ nerf to him so I can see less of him.

Doom is a ball of CC spam. Very unfun to play against. Just get rid of Empowered Punch and Block, honestly.
I see him banned (and I contribute my own vote) much more than Sombra, actually.
Also, anyone notice that the bug where his Seismic interrupts mobility abilities is still in the game?

Oh, yeah? If he is so low skill, show us you climbing to Grand Master as Doomfist, buddy!

Saying Doomfist is low skill exposes you as a noob. A noob who looks down on Plat players, no less.

Go watch some of Isaac’s videos and see how skillful doom can be.
The ceiling is enormous.

i always thought he was one of the harder heroes to master. hammond, ball, tracer, genji and widow always seemd to be heroes that you cant lazily play. still playing tracer i dont think she is harder than doomfist since kind of basic but yea having low health is that you have to be super focused since a mistake can cost you your life
while doomfist is the same way he is a hero that needs techs to do well with or if you know some then yea you are better… so way more complicated than tracer. i would think hammond is the same way where you basically need map knowledge on where to hook/roll too and it probably takes 100 hours or more practice with that hero
now is he annoying to go against if very good… definitely so. he is a BIG REASON i decided to main sombra. sombra use to basically have him under her foot and still can if played right. sombra is dooms dominatrix lol

Hardly see a Doom Fist as low skill, annoying maybe (For both sides), but a low skill Doom usually feeds amd a high skilled one is by far the most annoying thing you’ll be dealing with. (Aside from Sombra and Ball.)

Worse, a flying ball of CC spam
Pretty sure it’s intended. It’s got this brief window where it completely disrupts your momentum for a bit. Very annoying for how generous its hitbox is.
lol doom is everything but low skill

I would say Doom need skill as the skill Doom will know when jump out to punch to support team while majority of Doom player are like jump out to die alone in the ring of 6 against 1 > die alone within less than 3 secs > yell for heal > repeat process till match end > match chat “trash team”

Doomfist has never been an easy character to play, neither as a DPS nor as a Tank. I admit that as a Tank, he plays more comfortably and safely compared to his DPS form because he’s more durable. However, calling that character low skill honestly shows that you don’t really have any knowledge or understanding of this game sorry, but it’s true.

Low skill? Ok. Get on QP and let me see you win easily against Orisa, Mauga, Zarya or Junkerqueen paired with a Sombra and Bastion in each match without switching. Since he’s low skill it should EASY right? Just punch, slam, block, punch right?

truthfully, there is no hero in overwatch that is low skill
some less than others, yes, but regardless of your issues with doom in particular saying any hero is low skill is just ragebait to me
i mean it isnt hard to land doom’s abilities, so if your argument is he has low mechanical skill then i could agree with that
yeah as a former doom main, i dont have to know what he used to look like.
i just told you what im talking about, and its nowhere near what isaac does.
you dont need techs to do well with him, do you play the game currently?
doom has always been strong since season 1.
im have 100 hours in workshop, wtf are you talking about
how do they make doom balanced in todays game? the answert is they make it easier for casuals to play him.
why dont you go make a complaint post about sojourn, venture, hog, sombra or hazard with no constructive criticism or specifics into why they are problems. just rain from the eyes.
Doomfist is not low skill, but his mobility is annoying for the amount of HP he’s got. He always has either leap or punch off CD, unless player is pressing random buttons.
Or…
The smarter idea instead of the dumb “blizzard way of balancing” which is just nerfing a character for no reason instead of fixing the problem.
Powershift him. Like people have been telling them to do for 5 years now.
There is no reason that in the big 2025, rocket punch is still the main focus for this hero when EVERYONE and their mother has said how garbage and unengaging rocket punch is. Both to play as and against.
It’s beyond ignorance, it’s now just flat out stupid.
They saw Widow’s ban rate on certain maps and decided to buff her so she’s stronger in other maps…because we clearly wanted to see her.
They’re not going to do smart things. So I’m not going to wait for something that’s never going to come.
Doom is easy to punish if your team knows what they are doing. So many people just shoot his block and then as soon as he is empowered, they decide to just ignore him for no reason. It’s like those players that shoot both of Zarya’s bubbles and then as soon as she has no cool downs, get scared to shoot her.
yeah i think doom needs more cc then ball, hell even just 1 cassidy can deal with ball on some maps like illios.
even hazard is getting into that tier of needing 2 cc.
ive felt really proud lately as orisas and rams have figured out just to chase me when i back out from choke.
seems like reins have forgotten though, i think they rely on pin too much and not doing damage with hammer.
