Just stopping by to remind the dev team that yes… people still don’t like rocket punch spam.
They didn’t like it when he was a DPS and it was a one shot. They don’t like it now with his empowered gimmick and stunlocking people.
You’ve been told this by people playing against doom. You’ve been told this especially and specifically by doom players themselves, for years now. It’s no longer just ignorance to the problem, it’s now just incompetence and lack of ability to do your job. That job being… listen to your community.
Remove the empowered gimmick entirely. Leave his base punch as is, and make the rest of his kit actually relevant, so that doom gameplay doesn’t HAVE to boil down to “I punch in, I slam out, I punch in, I slam out” because that is the only way to find value on this hero past diamond.
When you stop punchbotting the value you can provide, plummets off a cliff because the rest of his kit, is absolute trash. All the best doom players, basically play the same way. And it is entirely focused around punch and empowered punch.
It’s garbage for everyone. No one likes it. Doom players don’t like it, and people playing against him don’t like it.
Stop it. It’s why people crave for dps doom because even with the nerfs his combo got and the focus shifting to punch back then the rest of his kit at least had some modicum of lethality compared to what it has now.

People begged for stuns to be removed from the game, and claimed it’d be better now that McCree couldn’t flash bang you. So, enjoy the game that people begged for: Doomfist flying in and stunning YOU for free, and then flying out.
Oh the game is definitely better with less stuns, it’s just stupid that they moved doom to tank under the reasoning of “tanks get the CC” only to remove all of the less problematic CC he had (the boops from DPS doom and the slow from the beta) but then kept the one that people hate the most lmao.
It’s just pure incompetence.
I hate to admit it, but I feel I am actually somehow better at Tankfist these days. I tried him in Classic and while I somehow did the best on my team, I felt as if I was trolling. I could jump further IRL than homie. That’s pathetic.
Tbf the current classic version of doom for october 2020, he was especially horrid.
This was like the worst state of doom by a mile, it’s after he got:
- Slam distance nerfed to 15 meters
- Outer ring ult damage got nerfed
- Air control from his abilities got nerfed
And the worst change by far
- His recovery after uppercutting got increased
That was the main change that damn near killed his combo viability. He was god awful for years because the only buff he got after March of 2019 up until OW2 releasing was 100% faster cooldowns while in ult (which crazy cause I coulda swore that was a tankfist change).

“People complained about stuns, so why are they complaining about stuns”

Yeah, taking half of the second sentence will make any thought seem stupid. Just ignore the part where I tied the stuns in with McCree because its the only way you can have something resembling an argument.
