Doomfist is still too strong

[Dewd-21656]

Did a previous post about how the upcoming nerfs to him were abysmal, and these last 2 days of the update have proven that.

New nerfs to Doomfist are laughable

I have never seen more threads and complaints about a character like Doomfist in this game since #deletebrig. All of these posts, streamer complaints, tweets and so on, about how broken this character is, what does Blizzard do? They nerf him in smallest way possible. Now don’t get me wrong, any nerf to Doomfist and I’m jumping for joy. But the following nerfs, “time to reach max charge increased from 1 to 1.4 seconds” for rocket punch and “shield health gained per hit reduced from 35 to 30” …

Now don’t get me wrong, it is barely 2 days into this new patch so more time will tell, but doom is still a must pick, which is something that should never be the case in the game. Doomfist is still too strong and has too much survivability. He is still in every single game due to how strong he is. Literally go through any regions damage top 500, and you’ll see 9/10 players most played will be Doom, and that will not change with his current state.

The nerfs that we needed were cooldown nerfs. Nerf his cooldowns and Doomfist players will have to be more sensible with how they dive and actually get punished accordingly due to poor decision making.
All this current nerf does is take barely any shield off him to notice a difference (he still gets 75 shield per target hit with his ultimate btw) and make his rocket punch not even half a second longer.
The rocket punch change was a good idea, i would have rather Blizzard nerf the impact damage instead but its a step in the right direction.

If I can play Doomfist with no prior experience this season and get a few games off grandmaster, then that character is not in a healthy state for the game.

Gotta gut Widow and Hanzo first.

[Dewd-21656]

Widow does need some changes i’ll agree on that. Her one shot capability like Hanzo’s need to be tuned in some way. Hanzo in my opinion is in a better state for the game than Widow. If the opposing team has a good Widow, only a better widow truly counters that, where with Hanzo it is more easy to counter.

I honestly disagree, though I’ll be honest here and say that I haven’t played against an actual good Doomfist so far but I think that was the point of the nerfs… good Doomfists will still be great at bringing value but bad ones are going to be punished far easier

and I have only found the bad ones in my games so far, so much so that they end up switching

uhhh it’s been 2 days and the stats include more than a month of pre-patch player stats.

bother to read a word further and you’d understand the sentence as a whole

I don’t think Widow should be gutted, but she should have a cooldown mechanism of sorts to slow the rate of effective kill-potential shots she gets within a relatively short amount of time.
