Doomfist Continues To Remain Broken

When’s the guy going to receive the nerf he deserves?

Yeah, he is broken. He has way too many bugs.

Wow, this one has even less work than many of the others, and that’s a difficult task to achieve. Let’s start things off with a couple questions. Why do you think he’s broken? How would you nerf him without making him useless? If you answer that second question with anything involving “I do want him to be useless” then just don’t post anymore about balance changes because that attitude is not needed in the game or this community.

He already did, and it arguably made him worse/more OP because instead of giving him the range on his seismic slam, his cooldowns now have been lowered in compensation.

Its complaints like this that lead to problems like this.

Also, play Sombra/Torb blahblahblah

Doomfist doesn’t have anywhere near enough counter play. So until he gets the redesign he deserves, his abilities bugging out constantly is the only hope people playing against Doomfist have.

That already happened. Then they buffed him. lol!

We got the Forum Doomfist to thanks for that. :joy:

Not exactly what we were asking for but DPS power creep is something Blizz is into right now.

How many times do people have to tell you that he is counterable. Brig, hog, cree, dva, junk, widow. He certainly has enough counters, especially considering its a team game and you can have multiple counters on a team. Run brig, cree, orisa, hog and its over. he has more than enough counter play.

Don’t forget his main is someone who’s “mass variety of counterplay” is basically having a Rein with his shield up 24/7 otherwise you die.

  1. Most of those heroes you listed are actually hard countered by Doomfist.
  2. He doesn’t need counters, but counter play. Things that people can do to not die to Doomfist, without having to rely on abilities that first take away all of his abilities.

CC is a very problematic game element, and you basically expect us to counter CC with more CC… Except Doomfist is the hero with the most CC in the game.

Shields are definitely an option…
As far as Widow is concerned, positioning properly, moving in a hard to predict pattern, and shooting back is sufficient counter play.
Anybody can deal with Widow with no cooldown investment.
Because she is a proper well designed fps hero.

Well summarized.

@Ravencrest : You need to experiment a lot when you’re playing a character like Doomfist , so if you don’t have at least 10 hours on this character, you should abstain yourself.

And when I take a look at your profile, it looks like a grievance.

P.S. : PTR is a good spot where you can experiment Doomfist or Hammond gameplay, if you’re scared the first time :wink: . hf

The issue is the guy is somewhat unmanagable as a support (outside of maybe Brigette) and every game needs supports. You can’t just not play them because there is a doomfist.

I appreciate he has some counterplay in the form of heroes like Sombra but if doomfist simply avoids her he can still easily pick supports and they can’t really do a thing. You can’t even call for help, as soon as doomfist starts fighting you he wins and you’re dead or he leaves again.

Granted its stacked damage wise and mobility wise in favour of flankers, (which it should be) but any other flank I feel I can comfortably duel. To put it in perspective I think I duel reasonably well, I only play Ana and I still manage to get my arcade lootboxes in death match. I have a chance to beat genji, tracer, reaper, mccree ect ect or at least put up a good fight. I don’t stand a chance in hell against doomfist. Even a sleep dart does not guarentee my team can kill him (and certainly doesn’t let me kill him). If I run he can instantly catch back up. Thats my personal issue with the hero. Feeling like an underdog in a fight? fine. Feeling like you have no chance no matter how well you play? Feels bad.

Personally I’d nerf him by reducing his shield gain or overall health. That way if he messes up an ability at least its possible to punish the mistake.

Just my 2c Edited to fix my spelling

Widow and Hanzo are easy to kill heroes, that need headshots.
Doomfist is much harder to kill, and his ability hitboxes are gigantic, making them too easy to land.
Genji ult is pretry strong, all melee heroes are. At least that’s an ult, and not 4s 6s cooldowns.

Doomfist has the lowest elims/deaths ratio of every dps in the game. This is for every single rank in the game, you can check yourself on overbuff.
This extends back as far as the last 6 months, and is consistent among all consoles and pc. in any given rank he has the lowest elim/death ratio of all dps.
