Doomfist should not be able to punch through sheilds

Brig can’t sheild bash through sheilds, so why can doomfist, who also posses a melee stun, be able to punch through a sheild

I’m talking specifically about stuns, I don’t think any kind of stun should be able to go through sheilds, melee attacks are fine to go through sheilds but not stuns.

Also… Brig has to be super close range to stun, and then has no way to escape… But doom can charge up a good ways away and has three other abilities that he can use to get out (ultimate only kinda counts here)

(also this would have to be added along with a nerf to double sheild, which is already needed)

Then no one should be able to walk through shields either
No wonder devs don’t care about these forums

You’re comparing Brigitte’s little shield to something literally called the DOOM fist…
Those two abilities are vastly different from each other.

And because I know you won’t see it that way, let’s expand upon your own question…
Why can Rein Charge through shields? Why can Genji dash through shields? Why can melee attacks go through shields?

Brigitte is a different hero in the game. Don’t you agree that “rocket punch” has much greater force behind it than a mere “shield bash”?

Doomfist can “level a skyscraper” yet Brig has a flimsy shield that goes 2 feet when bashed… that she created herself… don’t use logic in this game

I could kind of be down for this idea with the following type of details:

Rocket Punch deals amplified damage to a barrier (250-500), if it shatters it sends an AoE of damage in that direction for a shattered wall/barrier.

Actually, those heroes should not go through shields. They’re suppose to shoot at it like everyone else. One shield breaks another one goes up again and again and again making the match as slow as possible. This is so much fun and totally not boring, right? /s

I actually kind of agree with this, just being able to rag doll Reinhardt has always been a little excessive. It would create reliable counterplay vs Mr. Fister, which is generally good for the game.

being able to punch through shields is the only reason he is even been used in a shield meta.
He is pretty much taking the place of sombra.
Nerf him and someone else will take his place.

There are very few DPS that can do something about all the frickin’ shields around. Let him have it.

God forbid there’s ANY sort of counterplay to double barrier, amirite?

Lmao, you people honestly crack me up. Sym getting nerfed, now everyone is crying about Doomfist. It’s like everybody WANTS the game to just be shooting into shields the entire time. Sounds like fun!

Sigma and Orisa are really hurting right now with their near mandatory pick status. The one DPS that functions against them must be changed to be countered by them.
