There is no way a tank is supposed to have crazy damage and 1 shot kill potential every time. I can understand if he can constantly stay alive, but no way should he be able to just jump around killing the entire backline, then run away… he can be slippery but his damage is too too strong to completely destroy backline single handedly against like 4-5 players. I mean compare that to like a winston who does tickle damage.

All tanks do to their sustain, Doomfist probably has the worst sustain so he’s the least oppressive, besides Ball players being useless

Just ban him. I hear it fixes everything

Needs to be charged
- the more you shoot at him during chargine phase, the stronger the counter punch, the faster the cooldown reduction
Needs people to be clumped together
- stick together, get bulk punched and doom will gain overhealth according to how many he punched it one go
The fixes are simple, play a bit farther, watch his cooldown, he has his weak moments but this is a tank that will counter hard if you dont read into his cooldowns.
But has a shot go in go out cooldown, so dives in > goes out > dive in
Until one of you walks away alone, then that person gets eaten alive.
Kinda like dva in a way.
Use hero bans to your advantage I guess

If Roadhog can exist in this game, so can Doomfist.

Roadhog does similar things with ZERO mobility unlike DF and hard countered by ana. There is no hard Doomfist counter. Because he can just punch in from a wall from nowhere to one-shot a healer against a wall from around the corner. can’t even hear him if he’s farther away and that punch can go far… no brig is going to react fast enough to aid their team from that 1-shot kill

It takes a whole second to fully charge a punch. A fully charged normal punch into a wall does 115 damage. A fully charged empowered punch into a wall does 172.5 damage. The lowest healthpool in the game is Tracer’s 175hp.

One day the best player in the game will catch on and abuse him
I hear those are reserved for Sombra these days. So good attempt, dumbfist is a true menance, worst design hero in history. In classic mode Im always askign dumbfist players to switch out of kindness for the other team who should not have to deal with this filth.
Looks at DVA

He’s legit uncounterable. He can just completely destroy anything. I even sleep him and anti him and he just cahrges away or ults away. He’s 1 HP and i get him slept. He ults and kills me as ana…and thre is nothing i can do about it except die. No amount of CC will kill him… He can just zoom away even if he gets low. EVEN if we sleep, hack, stun, he’ll get away.

I feel like this is just the game, though…
In my experience, I find that Doom players provide the following two types of insight:
-
Poor team synergy - your team just lacks the awareness, together, to stop shooting the charging doomfist while standing together and giving him golden opportunities to wall your entire team
-
Focus - ever hear the expression, “insansity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results?” – if you are dying to the doomfist player, it could be time to focus on something other than the doom(hint hint healers and other squishies)
I feel you, I hate dying to Doom players; though it’s going to happen. To say they need to be nerfed is a bit overkill, imo, because there are very easy ways to actually counter him, so long as your team works together.
The insights provided aren’t mean to make you feel stupid, and I hope they do not come out that way; though try to find a positive lesson to any negative situation, and you’ll have a more positive gaming experience overall!
GG’s and good luck in future games, friend!

This sounds more like Roadhog, but yeah.

If you actually tried it you’ll notice that only upto 2 heroes per role are actually banned.
It’s very easy to get doom banned, all you need is basically comms skill, level yours up and you won’t have an issue to make cope posts with.
Either that or work on positioning and ability usage.
So you hack the game to ban in QP?
