Dude, Doomfist’s “Energy Block” is ridiculously OP. Whoever gets Doomfist can keep spamming ability 2 the whole time and will have the infinite punch/jump… Testing ONLY with normal bots, only 3 hits were needed to COMPLETELY fill the energy bar. It’s no wonder that whoever is playing Doomfist in ranked is getting free victories. Just keep spamming this all the time without cooldown and CONGRATULATIONS ruin the other’s game.

Don’t know if this is sarcastic or not.
But… maybe just don’t shoot Doomfist’s block like how you don’t shoot Zarya’s bubbles.
If your team charges Doomfist’s block that’s your team’s fault.

Getting to a truly strong level at playing Doomfist is so frustrating, cynical, and bordering sisyphean that I bet my bank account that you could make a study linking trying to learn his character effectively to a lower life expectancy. He has more counters than any tank in the entire game - just don’t shoot when he blocks, and you waste his entire cooldown.
This poor man has been forced into a role he was literally never designed for, has a document worth of glitches, bugs, and issues that Blizzard is aware of, but will never put the time in to fix, and you want to nerf him because you don’t know to not shoot when he blocks?
This isn’t real, right? This has to be a troll post, right?

what?
first of all: he is not immune to headshots while blocking… secondly, his block is not infinite and is not free. it makes him move super slow, he cant attack, and he has to wait for the cooldown if he wants to use it again
doomfist does not have that much health relative to most tanks… just hit him with a sleep dart, hack, ice wall, or hook and he is done for, or shoot him any time before and after block
he is a good dive tank but by no means game-breaking
using “my team is bad” as an excuse to blame a random hero is crazy…

I definitely don’t think he is bad as people try to act like he is, but he is far from the best tank.

Doomfist players are the worst, if nerfing the hero gets them to finally switch off of him then I say nerf him to the ground.
Also, he should have never been made a tank. Heroes that don’t require any skill and have extremely short cooldowns should stay in the DPS category with tracer and genji.

The problem is doomfist Ability 2 charge, is increasing too fast. Some 3 ~ 5 bullets are enought to fill his energy.
Doom can be shut down in so many ways you could craft an entire team specifically to destroy him, and you’d only need 2 out of those 5 members to do the job. Yes, it fills fast, that’s one of the few strengths he has. It doesn’t even block all damage like Zarya’s shield, or last even close to as long as Rammatra’s.
Doom has way, way more problems rn than his block. Can’t you leave the poor guy alone? He’s too busy getting hacked, carpet bombed, hooked, slept, and orbed.

I know but seeems to block charging is more fast than expected. See this moment, illari two shots = full charge. https://streamable.com/m9io8x
You know I have massive love for every doomfist who does it well, it’s truly skill based no matter what anyone says in my quest to get all heroes to progression level 5 because it was something to do, a mini goal as you will legit had to take him into vs ai as it was the only one was throwing with when using, respect to all good dooms and they always get praise from me either with or against.

Yeah that guy you quoted aint wrong, for my goal of level 5 each hero 2 hours max since you doing things that level them up like damage or healing or using abilities… with doom nothing worked, the blocking did nothing the damage did nothing spent most of my time jumping into deaths, nothing worked that’s when realised this takes mad skills.

I reproduced in custom game too. See how many damage did into doom untill it full charge. https://streamable.com/2dg06p Seems to be something really broke in doomfist block charge.
Guy, go play ranked for an hour with Doom stream it and show us how it goes.
ahem
Sorry about the theatrics lmao. I’m really passionate about this topic because long ago, I used to be a Doom player myself. He can rule a server if you truly dedicate yourself to learning him, but nothing less. His kit gives you absolutely no free passes, or room for any mistakes - and if you show even a hint of skill the entire team will instantly swap to deal with you faster than any other tank in the game. It’s so grueling that it is the only thing I can think of digitially to compare to my time in the military.
I still read his patch notes and observe how he’s doing in the meta. I have nothing but respect for Doom players who didn’t abandon him but it’s just too mentally taxing for a grown man to be dealing with lol.

Is not about this. Heroes that have charge ability seems to be broken. Zarya too. small amount of hits in her shield just raise up to 100 in less than a second.
I think I understand what Blizzard wants to do, purposely mess up the stats of these heroes and then release a statement saying that 6v6 is not viable “because the game is supposedly already too broken with 5v5 and they can’t change that”… Something like black friday in brazil, rise up all prices one day before, and in the black friday’s day just return to original prices and say “oh look, this is huge discount!”
Sir this thread is about doomfist being OP, he’s not if was everyone would be using, just get on with the game and stop comparing to Zayra or black Friday in Brazil!

Just went back to the game to play a match as Doom to relive some memories.
I played as Doom against a Reinhardt, Soujorn, Reaper, Lifeweaver, and Mercy. I won a SINGLE team fight on the control point, and that team immediately became Orisa, Sombra, Mei, Ana, and Kiriko. I was slept, hacked, walled off from my team, javelined to break me out of block, and could only confirm one elimination on Kiriko because of her escape through the whole match, and that was from an ult she luckily didn’t see coming.
we luckily won but I had to be absolutely locked in to stand even a chance. . . in quick play.
When an enemy team wants Doom dead, they will cc him so much he will barely be able to even play the game outside of his primary fire. This is who we have to nerf? This is who we’re afraid of? ._.
“I played symmetry in the training range and was able to kill a bunch of stationary bots with my turrets + primary fire, surely she needs a nerf”
