everything doom is good at, ball is better. doom has literally no abilities to help his teammates, hes impossible to heal for because hes always in the backline and uses all his cooldowns to get there, and his damage is just WEAK. pls stop playing him ur throwing ALL my games. there is not a single scenario where doom would be preferable over another tank
edit: first, i play high masters/low gm. not metal ranks. second, sure the doom players i get are good at their hero, but it DOES NOT MATTER when the enemy is equally as good and perfectly capable of shutting him down quickly and effortlessly. he is just one of those heros that only excels when the enemy doesnt know how to deal with him

You get more success shieldbotting with reinhardt
I never seen a win with DF, we often get steamroll’d even if we keep him topped up just cause of how slow he seems to be compared to other tanks attacks, moment they switch off DF we stop getting steam rolled, sorry but DF should never have been a tank, very rare to find one that is kicking butt

What rank are you experiencing this in?
I’m wondering if this changes between different ranks
Put him back in the Dps category then 
It’s not the doom players fault that they decided to rework him.

the rework for tank doomfist was replacing uppercut with power block and reducing his damage.

Wait until you see my 900 hours at work
But as soon as he goes back to DPS more complaints will arise so choose…
Useful powerful DPS or “Annoying” Tank

I am 98% certain, with a 2% margin of error, that this changes between different ranks. IIRC Doom was the most picked tank over in Asia’s T500 in season two, so I don’t deny the character has potentially high value.
Am I likely to get anyone capable of tapping that potential in my games, though? Ha ha ha ha ha. Only when the matchmaker craps out. Otherwise QP Doom goes in, blocks, gets CC’d, explodes, shouts at their supports, then goes again.

Ive won over 50 games with Doom this season. The problem as I see it as a Doom player is there is a perception that hes an unviable character and some people just tilt the minute you select him. He does require a team that synergizes with him but when it clicks it goes off big time.
At the end of the day i enjoy the character and his playstyle hence i want to play as him , not some cross dressing robot Orisa or shield bot spam hammering Rein like everyone else in my rank, if others dont like it then tough on them.

Season 2 was the gigabuffed Doom.
He is significantly weaker now.
My win rate with him in comp in Masters is 65%+. Every other tank is below 53%.
I think he takes more time to learn but I find it much easier to win games with him after all the practice I’ve had.
I still get told to switch before the game starts 1/3 games and I have to either defend the pick or stay silent.

Doom is still in need of some small buffs i think maybe when empowered blocking hes immune cc and lower ounch from 4 to 3.5

Cc immunity is not a small buff.
It would be game changing. Good Dooms just wouldn’t die.

It would be only on empowerd block not normal block
Ahh, I see…
I’d be interested in what that would look like.
I’d prefer to make it skill-based - e.g. the first 0.2 seconds is cc immune so it works like a parry.

The problem is latency its not darksouls were its all one sided it would be near impossible and just feel bad for the person doing th cc because randomly their cc didnt work but it did the other time
And Ball does? Since when?

I’ve seen maybe 2 or 3 good DF players since OW2 released. I see a good Ball player every other match.

And before the buff how many did you see maybe 2 or 3
For a long time I’ve actually wanted to see Dooms block grant shields when he’s empowered.
