Title, I usually use custom games. Any help/tips?
Edit: Imagine 1v1.
Depends on who you play, but short answer is McCree

What characters are you playing as? The answer is dependent on that, unless you mean how can you counter them with any character?
If so Orisa or Sombra are the natural counters to doomfist. Sombra you can literally just hide somewhere in the backline and wait for doom to charge in while you’re holding down hack.
Tracer begins to suck as soon as you deny her value. Most value will come from Tracer picking off supports so just don’t play as a vulnerable support.

This is also a good answer as he can shut down both Tracer/Doom with flashbang and his high ranged damage.
Yeah, team fights not very valid. I don’t really have a main either.
I don’t generally have a problem with either but if a skilled Doomfist/Tracer are wrecking havoc on my team I bring out the Hog.
Hog can Hook Doomfist and is great at body blocking Doom. Eating a punch meant for someone else not only saves the intended target but also alerts your team of his presence. It’s hard to miss when your Roadhog flys through your team from punch while a smaller thinner hero can sometimes escape notice.
Both hero’s rely on their movement to get anything done so crowding them can make them easy targets. You essentially can block their view with your gut. You can eat all of Doom’s combo with Hog with ease and leave him a sitting duck.

mcree counters neither really. tracer can stay out of flashbang range. and for doomfist wel he should be able to land the first hit and win at that point
to answer op. in a 1v1. roadhog would be a good pick vs doomfist but he will prob not fight you
as for tracer maybe roadhog too if u land the hook. otherwise realistically nothing counters her in 1v1 she can just stay out of your range.

Big disagree. You can still shoot tracers face and Doomfist has to come to you for the fight. Map geometry and positioning affect both match ups, but McCree can shut down both these heroes.
tracer can 1 clip 200 hp heroes no? if they are both good in aiming she should win that.
She can’t 1 clip outside of flashbang range, though.
its harder to aim on a tracer than it is to aim on a mcree.
Tbh the best time to hook a doom as Hog is when he uppercuts, especially with the delay between uppercutting and firing. You can also hook him when he’s winding up a punch but if he’s winding up a punch while a Roadhog is looking at him, he’s an idiot.
I think this is the better thought process. Super open maps give McCree the edge but can also help a Tracer dance around McCree. Hall riddled maps makes it impossible to approach McCree as those halls funnel you to him and his flash bang.
More vertical maps or maps with too many flanks it’s Doom’s and Tracers playground and McCree is the ball.
And yet they do this all the time in Plat/Diamond. I find using one of my teammates as bait to hook him during the uppercut is the way to go (Zen is my favorite Doomfist bait)
You just stand slightly out of sight and wait for the sound que them blam! caught yourself a Doom with no uppercut to escape.

How good is Brig vs Tracer?
Add brig and they can’t dive you too well.
A smart tracer will keep her distance and whittle you down since you don’t have any self sustain and a 200 hp shield is easy to break.
Your other healer can help but honestly you’re not killing a Tracer by yourself unless they decide to spray on the floor and crouch spam while standing still.

For doomfist, any hero with CC.

Actually you’re half-right.
The correct answer is a competent and good McCree.
Just picking McCree and not being able to aim too good or know how to use and save your flashbang etc , won’t counter those Heroes.
Uh…same thing for picking those heroes. I assumed the premise was players of equal skill.
Tracer?
semi soft/hard counters include
Mcree/phara/sigma /junkrat/mei and possibly others.
Doomfist?
No single character.

Come on. There’s plenty of heroes that can 1v1 Doomfist. Look at the competitive deathmatch top heroes.
