Doomfist is the hero everyone hates

but people really want to get good at it, since he looks very fun. Thats the way I see it, when I play him I can sometimes even get frustrated mirroring him (if your that doom that sits in the backline waiting for the other doom your bad)

I think his mobility is some of the most well designed parts of his kit, miles better in use then ball or tracer

yes grapple is cool but using doom techs feels interactive, your not really latched onto anything like ball and rolling gets pretty old after hours of playtime

doomfist can manipulate pretty much all his seemingly direct mobility (which is fun even without turn punching, bonking your head while uppercutting, weird slam interactions)

which is why I feel people should play this hero, I play him in QP a ton and have played some comp and I think besides the consistency in landing abilties, his mobility is prob the best it has been

a lot of it is pretty useless (i.e hitscan players complaining about doom) but their is specific set of heroes that do absolutely nothing to doomfist, like at all

In other words, they designed a good villain, and people love a good villain to hate.

There’s a reason kids dress up as stormtroopers and not rebels xD

It’s more that I can’t trust my incompetent brig ana supports to shut you down and I don’t really try to lose.

I don’t understand it either I mean they complain that doom can one shot but they are fine with Widow one shotting them across the map. At least doom has to be near you and you can kill him more easily in my opinion.

Something about his movement has changed. It is much easier to turn punch after a recent patch .

I don’t really hate Doomfist but the stuff(rollouts) you can do with him is insane.

Oh hell no. This hero needs to be gone from the game. Massive mistake to put him in the game in the first place. If people want to play such a hero, go play Smash Bro’s or Street Fighter or something.

And here we have someone who needs to learn what a counter is. Doom has PLENTY of them.

Soomfist just embodies what everone hates in OW. A ton of CC (including a major stun), high mobility combined with insane burst damage and a fairly freekill on a immobile hero as his Ultimate. Also that his whole kit evolves around cooldowns does not help, while stuck in the DPS roster.

Do not take the bait! Playing as doomfist is the most frustrating thing in the game…

Yet widow one clipping you from across the map is ok right?

Idk personally I like playing against him. He makes a lot of worse heroes better.

Fighting Doomfist is one of the only times I can go for Bastion and carry without the fear 2 dps will burst me from range.

Hitting sleep darts on a fast (but big) target is always nice

And as Roadhog he pretty much just asks for getting hooked.

Sure the community might hate him but the second you actually try to counter him he’s a free ult battery.

Bruh he’s loud af,ability reliant and if there’s 1 cc character on the enemy team (which there will be) your screwed

Leave doom alone

Na not really.

Rinse and repeat his cooldowns…

Not very fun or compelling really

It’s actually a design abomination combined with him gaining shields every time he does damage with his extremely low cooldowns

There is a very high chance that the DF hater is either a Zen or an Ana.

Zen I can see why, but any half decent Ana would just sleep dart the man mid uppercut.

But tbh, most players that I jumped on just … got cc in real life or something because they don’t even attempt to damage me mid combo.

There are those that do which left me at a hp so low, a light breeze would kill me.
