Doomfist does not need a buff, at least not a major one

He is now being played more than the recently “balanced” Zarya and many other tanks. He is the most obnoxious tank to deal with after you stripped most heroes of CC but not him because who the **** knows why you give him one on a THREE SECOND COOLDOWN.

This season will be awful.

Not every complaint is a result of getting stomped, this is purely due to the hero being obnoxious to play against. His CC happens too frequently.

But hey keep this attitude and you will be crying here in mid season patch about how evil blizz is at fault for over buffing and now the community have turned against you you will get nerfed worse than you currently are and forgotten for a year.

I tried and one of my so called teammates tried to get the rest of the team to report me :rofl: so even though I hate the character with a passion buffs are needed but should be handled carefully.

I was asking One because he doesn’t seem to understand Doom’s playstyle, which is a hint he hasn’t actually tried to play him to understand. However, getting reported just for playing Doom is dumb as s***. The new player base is more salty than the last one.

It seems like your complaint is a result of getting stomped.
Pretty much every single character in the game can dodge him, melt him or simply stop him dead. His CC is useless half the time because he only gets emp punch on the condition his enemy is stupid enough to keep shooting him.

It’ll probably put him over the top. The issue was never that Doomfist or JQ or WB were undertuned, just that a lot of other tanks were operating way above where they should be.

Then you dont know how to play him, there are more top 500 doomfist main players than orisa or JQ last I checked. By main I mean Doom is their primary (first) tank.

This is the case in both NA and EU. So wtf are you talking about?

Edit: actually there are more doom mains in t500 than sigma and ball too, sigma only being picked on one or two maps only. So no he is not bad, you just are not good with him.

Top 1 person in asia is a doom main too.

I’m a Masters Doom player.
I think I know how to play him lol.
Those who are Top 500 with him absolutely have the right to dominate because he is the only character with an average death rate in the double digits, unless JQ has joined him and to which I say why even bring her up? Or even Ball? It’s very well known that Junker Queen, Ball and Doom are at the bottom when it comes to the tanks. The likes of Zarya, Rein and Winston outclass them completely.
There are only two types of Doom players, trash or God. There is no such thing as an average Doom player. Those who are trash will get trashed, and the top level players will dominate and deserve to dominate those such as yourself.

He did need a buff. Hopefully they made it so you can’t CC him out of powerblock because it makes it too easy to counter for an ability that relies on getting the entire enemy team’s attention and getting them to shoot you. That, or just give him his god damn slow back.

I’m not a fan of the character, but it’s clear he needed help.

Problem is he is inherently unfun to play against. No one likes it when he is meta that I’ve ever seen.

He just feels weird.

I’m not a top-tier player, but when a character like Doom is enjoyed because of “techs”, which just seem to be weird ways to use map geometry with abilities to make him successful, that’s just bizarre to someone like me.

Reminds me of watching high-level Doom players zip along(inaccessible by any other character, really) rooftops or other nonsense for absurd dives or escapes.

It’s like the devs had no idea how to make him function effectively, so players made stuff happen themselves through exploitation.

I don’t know. If he’s insufferable, Support is gonna be in the gutter and this game already has enough strife.

This is the kind of takes people like you make to excuse their lack of performance.

“The hero is not good and when someone does well with it he must have beaten all odds and required exceptional skill, but those other people that play those other heroes and rise up are relying on their op heroes.”

By your own definition, you are trash, since you are not even GM.

Dont worry, he will be nerfed and you will eat your own words. Go memorise your roll outs though they won’t be useful for long :rofl:

In fairness

No ones ever like any “meta tank”.

The moment a tank (or any hero), becomes meta- Omg, theyre so op, so unfun, terribly designed!

Every. Single. Time.

No matter the role I queue, I’d rather play vs hog than doom or Zarya than doom, or rien than doom or orisa than doom or any tank than doom. Doom is not even meta yet and I still know it will suck way more, simply based on CC.

The main premise of this OW2 being better is less CC they advertised it as such, and so to give a short CD CC to a tank is a betrayal of those promises. No other tank has this much CC and so easy to land too.

This is not just me, this is the vast majority of the playerbase, you will see frustration at the game to no end if he actually becomes meta. It was the case when he was DPS and it is still the case today. He is badly designed, and they removed all the effective CCs to ground him.

Saying cringy lines like these with a cringy laughing emoji is the same as those tik tok videos where people dance with the stupid topic over their heads pretending they’re right when they’re clearing wrong.

And this just goes to show you lack any true understanding of Doom at all.
And also shows that you just don’t know how to counter him lol
If Doom dominates, especially in his very weak state now, he deserves to dominate and all you can do is cry about it. People have been crying about Doom for years and the nerfs they have given him have been minimal such the removal of stun on uppercut or the slightly longer to charge punch.

Maybe if he replied respectfully to the topic rather than making it personal, I’d have kept it to the topic at hand. Dont blame me he started it.

Dude, do you not know what you are replying to? I am saying in this post that doomfist does not need major buffs and that he is already gaining momentum and has been ever since the past patch.

I am not saying Doom is currently op, and I am not saying that he needs nerfing. I am saying that the rumored buffs even according to Doom onetricks who ACTUALLY played him in PTR are too much.

He will get nerfed, if all of those changes go live.

They wanted less CC outside the tank class. No “promises” were broken.

Doomfist has a 3 second lucio boop that in most situations does less than 70 damage. He hardly has the most overall CC, nor the most impactful CC, nor is his “the easiest” to land on top of that.

I dont disagree- But I feel so for wildly different reasons than you do.

Lol ya, No. There is still plenty of CC that makes him a nightmare to actually play- Especially with the implications of how his gameplay loop actually tends to work within the context of overwatch 2.
