Yeah that sucks to hear. At least with Sombra they managed to fix all the bugs with her.

Someone needs to make a megathread regarding all the bugs, along with video evidence showing all 50+ bugs in action.

We did that already and it didnā€™t help. We have a detailed bug list already on the google document with videos of every bug and how to repeat each bug

None of his techs except balancing (although I disagree that this is a bug) require bugs.

Yes. Thanks for posting this. Playing with these bugs really ruins the experience of overwatch. He is my favorite hero and its tough to play such a buggy one

takes 2 years to be meta and is only meta because he ignored a BS meta that only died by destroying shields.
all 3 of his abilities are then nerfed to the ground, making him not only less consistent but alot more buggy.
didnt even get a single ban during bans as far as iā€™m aware?
hasnā€™t been touched for nearly a year and Doom players just get ignored because the majority of the playerbase (being in the lower ranks btw) just hate him because they cant be bothered to switch to one of his many many counters.

Doomfist is in dire need of some love.

Any future balance changes with Doom should also be put on hold until his bugs can be fixed to be honest. Once the bigger problem is dealt with then we can look to balancing Doomfist if need be.

Only 10 seconds in a game I already got the invisible punch bug, this character is pure trash, every game u get like at least 10 bugs, specially the slam bug. The uppercut bug is one of the most annoying, specially when the enemy just disappears in your front or hits a floor. So sad a extremely fun character like doom is having tons of bugs since his launch, and people still complain about him but donā€™t play him and see how trash the heroe actually is. His ult is one of the worst (If I can say the worst) ults in the game, itā€™s weak, bugged, extremely hard to control specially in maps with a lot of roofs like Havana, 2nd point, or Dorado, his ult is only a ā€œget out of jailā€ hability when all other dps has damage ults. Itā€™s a shame that you administrators donā€™t fix his 50+ bugs or at least check the pdf. I donā€™t know if you are just ignoring the problem and forcing us to wait OW2 and see if the character will be fixed or you are just too lazy (or donā€™t care about the heroe, since heā€™s one of the most hated, if not the most hated, heroe by the community).

At least remove arch slams on indicator slams. Getting one is almost guaranteed death.

:thinking: yea, thatā€™s curiousā€¦ so delayed to finish the hero/game??? started ā€¦ 6-7 years ago (3 for df release?) ? What about this hero being decent and not a liability, as well as however niche/tricky? (Maybe since itā€™s however big a thread in the bug-forum and your fans have done a good bit, then pick up your end, and address (one of the biggest) issue?) Some words at least, yes, would be ameizing about an effort to fix him IS being applied/underway. Wait until the next game for him to be ok in this one?? :laughing: YOU MUST BE JOKING :fist_right: :facepunch: :man_technologist: :exploding_head: :brain:

As the creator of said bug report I can say that this post doesnā€™t exactly do justice to how bad the situation really is.

The document was last updated with new footage in early June, since then I have both stopped playing Overwatch and regularly updating the list because;

  • A: No new bugs have surfaced and all old footage (while outdated) is still relevant as all of these bugs still exist and providing new footage of them is pointless at this stage.

  • B: This list specifically has existed for over two years, been through several iterations and been in developer hands for the past year. It does not feel like enough has/is being done, in fact it almost feels like the developer that did reach out to me early on is quite literally the only person who works on Doomfist as Iā€™ve done some brainstorming with them, assisted some aspects of fixes and even directly influenced some of the changes made to Doomfist. Given this dev is often preoccupied with other work for the game I wish to give heavy praise to them for the fixes and QoL changes they have managed to churn out in between dealing with the other piles of work they have.

  • And C: Quite literally because these issues are still a thing in the game, it straight up makes Doomfist feel so thoroughly unenjoyable to play that I would literally rather go play the vs. Cheater Simulator game on extremely unstable servers that is COD: Modern Warfare. Doomfist has the highest enjoyment potential purely because of the way he is designed and how he is played, but unfortunately he has the lowest real enjoyment factor because we have to work around the fact that he just doesnā€™t work. Him working is literally a gamble.

Now I would love to come back to Overwatch, I would love to play Doomfist again and I would actually like to keep discovering and dissecting bugs and issues with the game, I actually enjoy that.
I am more than happy to keep maintaining a bug thread/report/document/whatever, but I canā€™t see any of that being a reality without action being taken on these dust covered reports.
I have handed Blizzard all of the necessary information we can gather for these issues on a silver platter and even highlighted the most important ones. And the bottom line is not enough has been done.

If it is indeed the lone developer doing this work, I honestly cannot praise you enough for working on him as much as you have in between all of the other things youā€™ve been forced to prioritize.
If this is a fault of the team as a whole then shame on you for ignoring this and letting it get this bad.

Yea doom definitely needs some changes. His one hit punch is a high risk high reward ability and most people think its some OP ability. You can get away with a punch only in the perfect situations or the enemy doesnā€™t have a headset on. CC is too oppressive on doom even with his passive. He isnā€™t a sniper counter either which most people think otherwise only cuz he can go in deep. Doom just wasnā€™t very fun to play from the beginning. I hope this community can come together to fix this hero who literally is ā€œbrokenā€
