All it takes is some slight coordination from the other team and DF becomes useless as a Tank. He offers no true protection for the team. His issues become more apparent once he faces 2-3 people. Since everyone is typically in a close proximity of each other…his issues shine through frequently.
He was built to be a successful DPS player.
Perhaps if his block would generate a shield similar to Zarya’s he might gain a little more viability.
What is it going to take for him to get what he needs? Do we all just start playing him to get more people to voice their concerns? It feels like throwing the match when picking him because I know if I played any other tank… I’d be better for the team.
Besides a pocket mercy and choosing every battle extremely carefully… what do I need to do differently to be a good DF Tank?

I am not going to lie, Doomfist is just feast or famine by design. If you have a good team, easiest games of your life. If you have a bad team, it’s nearly impossible to do anything and you will absolutely be getting blamed even if half your team is actively throwing.
I miss the homie before they locked him up. He just ain’t the same no more.
You are not supposed to play him to protect your team like a shieldbot. You dive the enemy and your team is supposed to follow you up. Hes also good to punish players that are out of position alone or that are not getting heals. You can basically finish them off quickly with your combo then quickly go back to your team with his mobility. Beware though make sure your team follows you up. Alot of players don’t know how to play with him as a tank and are too scared to press W.
The block is good to peel for your dps and support so they don’t die when they’re low.
ZBRA. Quaked, at least in the games I’ve played with him…isn’t nearly as good.
ZBRA combo’d me into a wall and one shot me several times when I faced him. Quaked got rolled in both Push and KOTH

I am pretty sure Quaked is just a meme these days. He did not age well with the transition to Tankfist. Better than Chipsa, I guess. Is that guy still alive?
