Healers: Doomfist is VERY OP!

Meanwhile they choose two specific meta healers (Ana/Zen) that have no mobility and get locked in his animation stun

Oh darn, if only there was a hero that could boop, or a hero that could fade from his combo! Ah shoot, nerf Doomfist instead, hes ruining my Ana meta reeeeeeeeeee

Even as Zen I didn’t die to him all that often. He’s such an easy target while he’s approaching, a few orbs in his face did the trick. A doorway dealt with his ult.

How dare they want to play a character that allows player growth instead of M1+w.
How dare they not pick a character with a flat learning curve.

Doom is getting his PTR nerfs put live tomorrow with the Winter Event and I couldn’t be more excited :slight_smile:

I don’t play Zen or Ana in my games, but I don’t need to in order to see how destructive and broken Doomfist is. I’m glad that the game will be much healthier after his nerfs.

Yeah I mean, it’s not like his Uppercut screwed over Rein and Soldier or several other heroes or anything, but who cares, pressing 1 button to delete any character that doesn’t have a burst movement ability is fair amirite?

You do realize that you can charge Doomfist while being uppercut right?
You are both locked in the Uppercut animation, and by the nature of Rein charge, you will take him with you.

Most of the time…

Doomfist kinda destroys Lucios and Moiras too.

I’m just posting here so I can track the topic and see what a trainwreck it will be shortly. I had someone on these forums seriously tell me that Ana’s sleep dart is valid counterplay against Doomfist. Anything goes in this community at this point

How? Lucio’s mobility and Boop stop Doomfist from ever getting close, and Moira can fade out of Doomfist’s combo and leave him floating in the air with half his abilities gone.

Ana/Zen isn’t meta though. In GOATs they’re never used at the same time. Pre-GOATs it was Ana/Lucio, Moira/Lucio, or Mercy/Zen but never Ana/Zen except on specific points like Hanamura B defense.

At that point you just right click him. He’s now on the ground, and his team loses shield.

They’re not destroyed in the way that Zen and Ana are, but they are still backline, and DF often does the kills from a rooftop or fire hydrant rather than out in the open.

Not a doomfist main, just someone who can see through the sea of BS of people hating him when they refuse to counter him

Oh I have been in that too.
Cause I am stuck with Rein for the next couple of weeks, so I have a habit of seeing a DF, I charge.

Sure, shield is drop, but now both of us are open for attack, and my team is more than ready to kill the now stunned DF.

Works all the time, unless I have a Brig on my team who just ****ing boop him away.

For the Uppercut Charge counter, it is all in the timing. He is lock in the animation of him doing the Shoryuken, so before he stop mid air, he exposed to the charge. Combine that with the Charge hitbox, it is a dead Doomfist.

I have dealt with Doomfist as both Ana and Rein, so I know what to do.
But as Zen, I just have to pray or switch off, there is no way I can get value as Zen when there is DF beside Discord, which is good sometimes.

I think you’re being a little too generous to DF, because of his mobility, he chooses when to engage. Keeping sleep and charge in reserve for someone who can attack you at literally any time and from any angle and any height is a major strategic disadvantage.

So? That doesn’t mean people can’t be vigilant. Honestly if Doomfist only attacks from rooftops and what not it makes sense to be looking there.
