Doomfist is still stupid

A while ago I made a post complaining about DoomFist, and now here I am again fueled by a metric butt-tonne of salt to complain again. His design seems to be focused around not letting the other teams backline play the game. As a support player theres nothing wrong with fighting off flankers its part of the fun, but when it comes to doomfist he comes into the backline with his one shot combo and theres actually nothing you can do as a squishy. I get he’s not broken because after killing you he’ll either feed or have to back out but doesnt make the unavoidable walk back from spawn any more exciting. Any other backline threat you can avoid by winning the duel or having better postioning but DF just decides to make you dead and you die.

TLDR: Sometimes i want to play the game and not be one shot comboed by DF every fight thanks

Ask your team to peel

Swap off Zen/Ana and boom, problem solved. Not sure why people think it’s okay for DPSs to have counters but not support.

DF is usually a team effort, that’s why he’s unfun to play against.

Do you know how many times people will protect their supports?

Not many.

I’d advice against swapping off Ana. Dart can save you.

Mercy peel doesnt help and if DVa Zarya Hog or cree have used their CDs what do

Doomfist is sorta a new hero to the community. He was barely played for about a year and now that he’s seeing some action and not as buggy, people don’t know how to counter him. Just learn to call him out and stick with your team more.

Which isn’t hard with the amount of CC in the game.

I’m not even completely sure who peels Doomfist properly. Maybe Brigitte? Who else competes with that kind of mobility and damage in the back line?

For some reason people are upset about DF. Makes you wonder why that is.

Maybe…the people with stuns aren’t stunning him enough? Could be.

He is very similar to Pharah. Your team has to want to counter them. If people just try to avoid them and let other people deal with the problem… your team is doomed

Or because the monthly irrational community outrage dart landed on Doomfist.

Well I can’t argue with that. But I also have strong feelings about DF. And prior to that Tracer and Genji. My feelings usually align with the internet mob’s.

Could that not mean something, though? Maybe there is a legitimate issue at hand?

This is exactly how it was for Sombra. She’s been the second release hero and back in February when she got her buffs nobody had a clue on how to deal with her so she got nerf.

As a Sombra/Doomfist player I see Doomfist getting nerf soon because of all the post on the forums.

basically the entire roster can… really the only thing about DF is that he requires your attention. When teams make an effort to shut down his dives, he ends up feeding

What happens when you can’t pay attention to him, though? What if his team distracts you, then he strikes while you’re too busy?

That’s unhelpful. “Everyone counters Doomfist!” is not true nor useful.

That is what is called “teamwork.”

And it does, in fact, make the dream work.

You say that as if that were the norm.

I definitely can’t speak for everyone, but it is kinda the norm for me.
