He is designed to counter supports He isn’t countering or wrecking everyone who he comes across. As the OP said, he DOES get wrecked in GM and these are players that know how to play him.

He had several buffs. His spread was lowered a lot (hes as easy to aim with as brig now). Seismic slams min damaged was buffed. They also fixed his bugs.

If a hero puts all most other heros in f tier, isnt that the definition of overpowered? If a lot of heros are bad compaired to one, isnt that defenition of being overpowered?

So the problem is that he’s almost caught up to Genji? Shouldn’t you be complaining about Genji then?

I think you might want to reread and look for hints of sarcasm.
Yes but genji actually has to aim and gold players are not hitting diamond and masters with him. He does not have skills with ludicrous damage and low cool downs. Genji does not gain shields for landing abilities.

Who has done that then because I’ve never heard about it unlike with Brig.

His spread wasn’t lowered they changed it from 6 shots at 11 damage each to 11 shots at 6 damage each.

They just nerfed his hand cannon giving it falloff damage.
Stop crying.
And when they changed the damage on his hand cannon and the spread that was literally a huge nerf vs armored enemies. His hand cannon can’t do shiz for damage against armor because the shells only do 6 damage a piece. His melee does more damage to armored targets. When orisa is at full health and has her fortify up he can’t do much to her.
Honestly now that his hand cannon has falloff they should just change it from projectile to hitscan.
The forums has this strange need to have a revolving set of heroes they want to be weak and unviable.
It’s Doomfist’s turn, apparently.

Disagree. The handcannon is a projectile in the first place to ensure it only does reliable damage when combined with abilities that slow the enemy down. It has a fixed spread unlike all other shotguns, so making it hitscan would be rather scary. Giving him reliable damage upclose without the need for abilities would lower counterplay.
It’s not because of the lack of counters, it’s because of the inherent lack of counter play in his kit.
He is too hard to avoid, and his abilities are too strong to be consistent.
He needs nerfs on his own right, but the ideal option would be a total redesign from the ground up.

Yes but tracer and genji take mountans more to learn. They take oceans of more skill as well.
Add chipsa to your friends list, and queue with him lmao
Exactly my thoughts!

tbh Tracer and Genji don’t stun you and combo one-shot you at the same time.
Pharah has the best chance against doomfist, but she will never ever be a highly viable option in gm with all these hitscan buff.

I see him in almost every game I play. Every passing day more and more people realise how op he is at high level with his high mobility, bs combos, high survivability, ridiculous ult. A fun hero to play against, truly. Great job Blizzard.

Because Genji isn’t seven feet tall and wider than Zarya. Instead, he’s difficult to hit and nimble, with defensive abilities.
Doomfist takes just as much skill as Tracer.

No, tracer actualy has to aim. Doom and brig are same skill level.
