Doomfist is the worst hero this game ever has had

General Discussion

Guess what guys?

We’re making a hero with cc in all his abilities, oneshots, and amazing self sustain? And guess what else, we’ll make his ultimate only bad for heroes with no mobility. But we’re not done, he can combo his abilities to create oneshots that you can’t get out of. You heard me right, if you get uppercutted, you’re dead. Nothing you can do about it!! Well give all his abilities short short cooldowns so that he can continue to brawl and eliminate every support. But what’s that you say) a counter?! Well we made all his counters trash. The main counter known as Sombra has hack on a long cooldown with a hotfix 2 second cooldown whenever it takes ANY DAMAGE from ANYTHING. “But what if you kill him” you say. Well, I say, he already killed your Ana. Now tell me, does that seem like a fair trade? Enjoy the new hero, Doomfist!

PS his hitbox is nowhere near Roadhogs, so you can’t justify him hazing up to 400 hp.

PPS now you might say to go sombra. Well now, sombra is a flanker, and making her babysit your zen is a waste of a dps and the enemy team is already getting value out of neutralizing a sombra. Other heroes like mccree have a bad counter like flash bang where you need to hit him, furthermore it has a 10 second cooldown versus Doomfist cooldowns, which his main oneshot is less than half that.

He’s so obnoxious and annoying to deal with furthermore that even for that reason he shouldn’t be in the game, and since he’s so meta now that makes it so much worse. (His abilities were always stupid and shouldn’t have belonged in a shooter game like this, but then again neither should certain heroes like brig if they have so many op and frustrating abilities) and makes you change your entire team comp sometimes to deal with him…

I never wanted Doomfist. I always hated Doomfist. He needs nerfs or better yet a full rework… I can’t stand how people are mad at people with 1 cc ability and completely allow Doomfist to have all cc abilities and oneshots because he’s “skilled.”

Lol not enough, it’s like 10 damage, he can still oneshot you and guess what, you’re dead and can’t escape his combo.

The vast majority of heroes have a way to escape, interupt, or can outright Tank Doomfist’s combo. Don’t pretend like Doomfist is OP because he caught you with your pants down.

HAHAHHAHAHHAHA

He jumps in, slams, uppercuts, holds M1. You’re dead. There’s nothing you can do.

So when you have a mobility or invincibility ability ready, your not gonna use it and just let Doomfist kill you right?

Also, he really doesn’t. It’s SLIGHTLY larger than a normal DPS’s/smaller than Zarya, so he’s kinda hard to shoot down, especially since he flies all over the place…

And why would anyone continue to play Ana against Doomfist when there’s 4 other supports that makes it harder for Doomfist to kill them and can escape/disrupt his combos

Let’s say I’m sombra, I have the best escape ability in the game. Doomfist can oneshot me out of NOWHERE which his rocket punch. Maybe he could I don’t know slam, uppercut, shoot and I’m dead? And also I’d like to say, yes I and many many others are angry at this stupid design for a hero. I mean Brig was a step backwards but Doomfist imo was a leap in the wrong direction… IM GOING TO REPEAT: EVERYTHING HE HAS HAS CC OR ONESHOTS OR GETS HIM OUT IF SITUATIONS HE SHOULDVE DIED IN.

you literally play his hardest counter, co-ordinate with your team. hack him and he is dead. also these are some points from a former doom main.

  1. he has 2 “one shots” both are extremely conditional.
  • The punch- requires full charge and you hitting a wall. thats 1 second to move/ dodge as well as position yourself away from possible wall collisions.
  • His slam/uppercut/shoot “oneshot” (not a ONE shot) takes quite a bit of setup time and positioning knowledge as well as having to hit every ability.
  1. His short cooldowns are short because without them he is literally reaper with 2X the hitbox and half the ammo.
  2. His ult is good against non-mobile heroes (ana, zen, mcree, and torb) because that is what you would call countering someone. Also those non-mobile heroes can use barriers and corners on the map to juke out his ult (because its based on los from the center).
  3. He has self sustain because he has a hitbox the size of rein half the hp and has to jump into the middle of your team to do damage.
    Tl;DR: Doom is strong right now but that is due to a meta shift that favors him because his counters suck in the current meta and will probably be viable soon (hog). there are no nerfs needed. (if there was a nerf i think they should just revert his passive buff)

i think his shields need a nerf because anything else would render him completely useless and while i hate doomfist he is an insanely fun character to play and he should remain so for the people that main him
i just want him to be less frustrating to play AGAINST—and no, it isn’t just frustrating because you’re dead and dying is annoying, it’s frustrating because it’s instantaneous and built off a mountain of CC

Sombra doesn’t counter him. She has to babysit him. Sick of this game becoming a 1v1 between me and the enemy Doomfist just to make the match fair for the rest of the players. :expressionless:

Rocket punch has its own counters; not being blind and deaf for one, not being near a wall for another.

As for Doomfist’s combo, you can teleport out of it after it’s already began. It doesn’t happen so fast that you can’t get away from it after it’s begun, unless you have no reaction time at all.

First off no hero should counter someone that hard, aka literally killing them and they can’t avoid it. Second off, I coordinate a lot and have over 130 Sombra hours. I’m in midmasters. I try but the thing is, dva can spray me from across the point and boom hacks on a short bs cooldown and he already killed zen and left. He counters the wrong things and created an unwanted match filled with cc and anger.

Making someone keep their sombra in the back line is value enough, you’re making a valuable dps stay behind.
