Sombra does counter him, but if the game requires you to babysit your support to defend them from Doomfist, how is it any different from a Soldier who’s only playing Soldier to fight Pharah? How is it any different from the healer switching to Moira or Brig to fight Genji? Sombra isn’t special.

It’s different because they don’t get instakilled and zoom right out of danger.

No offense but I don’t think you should complain about Doomfist as a Sombra main 
Sombra’s the only hero that’s more anti-fun than Doomfist IMHO, and she’s also oppressive for a lot more heroes than DF is.

you literally have the best escape ability in the game as sombra and you die to one of the loudest abilities in the game… and not once in that entire combo you listed are you stunned, as in you have at least a second and a half to get out

Wow, I canceled your abilities for 6 seconds (you have a primary fire and aim).
Wow, Doomfist just ran in, insta killed you, and flew out. Awwwwwww man.
Hacks literally one of the easiest countered abilities in the game, Doomfist and his abilities are hard enough to get out of rather than stop.

It isn’t different. Genji makes mincemeat out of Ana unless she lands a sick sleepdart. It might take another second or two, but Ana is just as dead. Pharah outright requires a hitscan to counter her; even if she’s only doing 120 damage per shot, she has free rein over the enemy team if they don’t set someone on her. Playing Sombra to babysit your supports is no different.

He can, not easily but yes.
However, notice how I didn’t say insta-kill.
You can’t say that switching to Sombra to counter Doomfist who’s wrecking your supports is different from Switching to Moira or Brigitte when it’s Tracer or Genji, or switching to a hitscan to deal with Pharah. It might not be fun to focus one hero the whole match, but that might be what’s needed to win. And come on, it’s free ult charge.

Nah, every hero has thier own fanbase. It just boils down to consistency as flavor of the season.

His main oneshot is a 4 second cooldown, and you’re not taking in how it usually takes 1-3 tries to hack someone, so add a few seconds to sombra’s cd and there ya go.
I for one enjoy how literally almost absolutely every single match I play is decided by Widow or Doomfist. It’s loads of fun.

And my point is, Doomfist can instakill in less than a second.
It’s absolutely different because you don’t need to LITERALLY go out of your way to BABYSIT them the way you do a Doomfist. I can. I can effectively ruin Doomfist as a Sombra.
BUt I have to make the game a 1v1 instead of a 6v6 and my only mission is to make sure Doomfist stays hacked, stays spawnkilled, and stays useless.
You can let a Genji do whatever for a bit and not suffer. Doomfist kills someone immediately.

You’re not taking into account how it usually takes 1-3 tries for the punch to hit and register the wall, so add a few seconds to doomfist’s cs and there ya go.

If we’re gonna add that negative offset, let’s add the positive offset where you don’t even need to be thrown into a wall at all and literally any non-destructible environment objects whatsoever will do.
