Doomfist nerf? Please listen

Since we’re just nerfing bad classes, could we see a nerf on a very overpowered class like Doomfist?

Doomfist is a very very strong hero, and takes little skill to play… People say "symmetra requires no skill, heres a hero that ACTUALLY requires no skill…

Doomfist locks you in a phase where you can’t really do much about him. He’s constantly building shields on himself, dealing the most DPS, and locks you in a combo that has zero counterplay.

You can even see doomfist killing pharahs with two left clicks? What can a pharah do about that, say she hits two direct hits on him, he’s not dead? Why… because hes at 400 health with his shield.

I’m assuming this is a troll.

If you think Doomfist is easy and takes no skill you’re actually just ignorant idk

It’s charitable to assume it’s a troll.

That happened almost a year ago and he’s been buffed consistently throughout that time. That argument is dead

Seems like a pretty accurate description to me. If you think DF actually takes skill to play then you’re just ignorant idk. But yea, highest mobility, highest burst, lowest cooldowns and self shielding…sure does seem like a tough life to be a DF main.

Then why not just play Doomfist if it’s so easy to two-shot Pharah out of the sky?

Doomfist takes a butt load of skill. It may not look like it, but it’s actually quite difficult to use. You’re acting like he always has 400 hp lol.

You’ve clearly never seen a bad or stupid doomfist XD. If the player is bad then hes free. If hes really good then hes a nightmare to handle alone. Keyword being “alone” here. Its a full team effort to stop a good doomfist. Stuns, slows, call outs, or really mobile heroes give him a hard time. I’ve seen that sym/rat combos really annoy doomfist since its so much spam just in his way.

ik how much his rocket punch is a joke to hit, but doomfist is a hard if not the hardest character on overwatch, With this much pressure and huge hitboxes he really isn’t THAT op in my opinion he’s balanced if you pretty much learn mccree mccree almost stops him completely which means if your team is coordinated unlike my games your dps will know how to protect healers also always watch highgrounds around u where doomfists could be flanking

Care to unprivate that profile?

Oh look, I TOO can list off a character’s strengths in the most exaggerated way possible to make them sound OP!

Tracer takes no skill either. Highest DPS, can one clip any squishy, her ult is practically a guaranteed kill, unlimited movement options from blink, an extremely small hitbox, and the ability to restore her HP. Must be a rough life to be a Tracer main too. Nerf her pls blizzard! Lmao

I cant say if doomfist takes a lot of skills or if he is op or not .

BUT I CAN SAY THAT PLAY AGAINST DOOMFIST IS A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!

and this is why you should play a hero before complaining about a hero. Anyone who plays the game knows doom is not easy to play. He’s also not a “pick me to gm” character either but lets read more.

sym requires more brains than skill but whatever ive never heard anyone say this.

you didn’t mention brig so im a bit confused

the cc lock thing only ever really happends to reinhardt because everyone else will just kill him or have something to avoid him or cc

but he also has to be in the middle of the fight where are the damage happens so he kinda needs it. +35 shields per ability isn’t that much when people can get healed as well as an immortal field being in the game now but go on

no.

either you’re bronze or you dont know what stuns are. Better yet have you tried shooting doomfist? it works really well trust me

depends on how good the doom is and if he’s tracking her cooldowns. Unless you hit two headshots on pharah you most likely wont kill her and 90% of the time she has a mercy pocket.

his shield starts to decay pretty quickly and it’s not like doomfist is just constantly walking around with 400 health. If he is and no one is shooting at him then thats a trash team problem not a doomfist problem.

so far none of your points are accurate. This is why some people say people below diamond shouldn’t talk about how op heroes are. If overwatch was full of idle characters with 0 instant cast cc or the ability to shoot besides doomfist then maybe your post would make sense but from what im seeing the only people that agree with you are people who dont understand the game i.e. low rank/ casual players or support players

Your definition of “accurate” is different from the dictionary definition of “accurate” isn’t it?

How much have you played this Hero? I’m going to assume you’ll say one of two things, either none at all “BeCaUsE i DoN’t StOoP tO tHaT lEvEl” or 100+ hours because your profile is private and you can claim whatever you want.

At the cost of damage.

At the cost of mobility.

6 seconds isn’t really “lowest”.

Only after hitting the enemy. Enemies who can all do more DPS than the shields he gained.

It seems so hard to over exaggerate and ignore all the weaknesses or actual machinations of his kit, too.

Atleast I don’t one trick a brutally overpowered stun locking menace to get my sr tbh before you rank shame others. In GM, he’s an absolute nightmare.

Stop stacking so many barriers and people might play the more consistent and safe heroes. Right now it’s near impossible to break Orisa Sigma and most of the dive heroes are pretty undertuned. Doomfist just happens to be a dive hero who’s actually good.

Totally agreed. And he is oppressive as hell

And there it is.

Can’t complain a hero is OP with out also insisting they’re easy.
