Gonna teach all the bads how to actually counter pick against Doomfist.
Tanks: Roadhog. Hard counter to Doomfist, Doom can’t do anything to him and the Hog will get the easiest hook one shots of his life because of how big Doomfist’s hitbox is.
D.Va: Doomfist can’t burn D.Va’s mech fast enough, the best he can do is punch her away. Meanwhile D.Va can chase Doomfist down no matter where he goes and easily melt him with her cannons and missiles.
Zarya: Not really a hard counter like D.Va and Hog, but she can stop Doomfist’s combos, completely removing his value since he has to go all in on a single target.
DPS: Ashe. Coach Gun completely screws Doomfist up, whether it’s his combos or his punch.
McCree: Flash+Right Click. Doomfist has to get close to kill, so just don’t get flashed 4head isn’t really an option.
Sombra: It’s been almost 3 years, you know what Sombra does.
Reaper: Can face tank Doomfist’s combo and melt him. Not a hard counter because Doomfist can land a juicy primary fire and burst him down quick enough before Reap can react.
Torb: Doomfist can’t do anything to Torb’s turret, and Torb can facetank Doomfist’s combo with overload and then quickly kill him with secondary fire
Tracer: Doomfist can’t touch Tracer unless the Tracer is bad. Period.
Support: Brigitte. Hard counters Doomfist by cancelling literally all of the value Doomfist can bring with her stun and boop.
Lucio: Not so much of a counter, but Doomfist can’t touch a Lucio that’s on the wall.
Mercy: Same with Lucio, Mercy’s mobility is up so often that she can just jump out of Doomfist’s combo unless he gets a 125 slam (which is always predictable since only his arc slam can do this)
So stop crying now, k

Just throwing this in there
Junkrat: Steel trap shuts down any and all movement and makes Doomfist a free kill.

Hahahah I can’t tell you how many time I got punched wall riding. Be it that at that point I was focusing him down hard. And they were desperate trying to get the kill.
that and mine can send him flying off course

This. I don’t play him as much anymore because there is so many counters. Also, I might add:
- Pharah: I can’t say it’s an easy kill for the Pharah (fistman move fast) but Doom can’t really do anything to her (sure he can when she lands… after she’s laid waste to your team’s supports)

I mean, it could.
But people are too salty to read it and just spam it with bs.

I don’t think you people realise what is a hard counter and what is a “has a fighting chance”

I don’t think you people realise what is a hard counter and what is a “I win button” cause that’s all most of you people want.
Legit 7 of the heroes I listed are HARD counters and barely require any mental strength whatsoever to counter Doomfist

Doom can get shielding before engaging McCree. It is better to not use fan. Especially if he uppercut as, well, not only will you miss a ton, you cannot roll in the air to reload either. Generally you want to land a few shots and save flash for a headshot, try to juke an ability and finish him with another left click.
Oh I see sure.
Hog hard counters mei because her hitbox is big, she has no mobility and needs to be in close range to freeze.
Now tell me how well hog is doing against Mei in this meta.

Mei hard counters Roadhog, are we playing the same game here?

Only times I get killed on Tracer by Doomfist is when I don’t see him coming… When I do see him… I LOL while he is trying to kill me…

Yes she does. As a Mei player I know that, and yet
well it works by your logic doesn’t it?

Not even kind of the same thing. If I really have to explain to you why Roadhog counters a mobility hero with a tank size hitbox while being hard countered by a hero that is designed to bully tanks, I’m not sure what you expect.

He should be buffed honestly, with these many counters.

Meis hitbox is also big, so is Reapers. Can’t hog just hook and one shot them both? Don’t they all need to be in the hooks effective range to do any damage? Idk what to tell you. I know Hog doesn’t counter them, he also doesn’t counter doomfist. He has a slim chance to catch him provided he sees where he is coming from and who is he planning to CC/instakill and provided he didn’t use that one hook for idk… killing something else?
I would argue that Brig is a decent pick into Doomfist, but it’s really easy for him to pick her out of the crowd and get away with it. Any amount of distraction makes Brig way less reliable against him.
I would also put Orisa on that list because she both survived him and can mess him up.
D.va I may also put on a lower rung here. She can chase him down, but I don’t feel like she can chase fast enough to keep the damage pressure on. Mostly just repelling him rather than putting him down, like Zarya.
No, not in the slightest.
