I believe it is terribly unfair for him to uppercut and force opponents to lose control of their movement, and essentially sign their death away without any counterplay.

You want to take away one of Doomfist’s excellent, most useful combo? He’ll literally be trash again if targets can escape Rising Uppercut. He won’t kill his victims and he’ll be stuck in the air with no way out.

counterplay to doomfist is that doomfist is trash tier and barely playable.

You…Do realize you can literally shoot him like as he’s running up to you? He can’t just uppercut you from ANYWHERE on the map. If Doomfist managed to not only close the distance between you and him…but ALSO get a kill off on you, It’s WELL DESERVED!
He’s got no damage resistances, his shields only turn on AFTER the job is done AND he’s huge and loud with VERY telegraphed movements.
In short: GIT GUD SCRUB!
Edit: Also it’s a 2 shot. You NEED to hit that wall in order to die as literally everyone if they’re at full HP. Also…walls are indeed a situational thing as some maps don’t even really HAVE them around that much. (Junkertown for example.)

Shoot him while you are in the air. If you are not killed by the slam - shoot - uppercut - shoot, you have a lot of time for counterplay. You are not stunned, by the slam, or upper cut. I’ve died doing the combo, many many many times.

Blizz just fix the hitbox for DF a teeny tiny bit and people are asking for nerfs again.
Really?

Yeah, but Doomfist isn’t a healer, so he’s fine.

I think Doomfist is actually quite easily able to get in and out real quick, and there is a window as a healer that is completely out of my control. It isn’t “just shoot him then he dies” lul.
He may be trash tier according to you, but it is the same as scatter. When it hits you, there’s nothing you can do, and it feels terrible.

You can shoot, stun, and kill him when he uppercuts you. Also Doomfist doesn’t need any nerfs at all

Doomfist needs a re allocation to what makes him effective, imo. Because he can very easily one shot many squishys. And like DVA, it is no fun.

His hitbox is huge and his flight paths are predictable, if you can’t click his head just CC him. He’s only scary with a pocket Zarya and Zarya hasn’t been meta on most maps recently.
Good ones sure. Bad ones not so much…
Unless you’re Ana, Brigitte, Lucio or Moira in some cases.
80% of the time it is…Most people dunno how to PLAY Doomfist well enough and literally any of your team with CC (Which is a LOT of the cast) just has to step in for 2 seconds to potentially mess him up entirely.
Too bad we don’t nerf things based on how they feel…(In theory…)
This is a COMBO, even RP can be avoided with proper healing or CC. I REFUSE to believe Doomfist is that big of a problem to you or ANYONE for that matter with the characters present in this game.
He’s not Trash Tier but he’ll never be meta changing with what he has to go up against.
Only when you don’t:
-
Pay attention to the sounds he makes
-
You or your team don’t even try to kill or stun him when he’s charging up rocket punch (he can’t defend himself when charging up)
-
move of the way
Also it’s not “easy” to one shot with Doomfist because x hero has to hit a wall and he has to line himself up.
Play Doomfist for once and you’ll see how hard it is to land a rocket punch

So not being able to do anything due to a certain ability suggests that a nerf is required? Might as well nerf Mei too.
As far as I can tell, it still takes an insane amount of skill to properly take someone out unless they’re out of position. Trust me, I’ve learned my lesson.
And it doesn’t seem like his fist’s hitbox has been increased that much anyway. There have been moments when a Doomfist finally got close enough to me to punch me properly and went straight through me. It makes me feel awful. Just, please don’t beg for another nerf. I don’t even play him and I feel the pain of those who do.

So long as doom glides through the air as his opening, he can get in and out quickly, and when one is good, it feels impossible to challenge. And that is not fun.
Don’t care what his pick rate is, or if he’s f tier. Doomfists can and do roll matches, and it begins to feel like unless the entire team changes a comp, he just gets in on squishys easy. If you are Ana, you are pretty much dead, unless you literally spend the entire match just searching for him and him alone. Never mind healing huh?

Hyperbolic af but yeah the counterplay is his lack of range.

Which on control maps, makes it very hard as a healer to have any counterplay to a doom diving you. People forget he has 250 health so a lot of time, an Ana, Mercy, Zen are not going to be able to interrupt the combo once it starts.
That’s where teamwork comes in. If your team is nearby, they could easily assist you. He’s a pretty big target too, ya know. His crit hitbox is kinda wonky too, btw.
This coming from a Mercy main <3

Ana has the 2nd best matchup against Doomfist in the support lineup…
Lucio kinda is close…but his CC is close range only and if he messes up he’s dead. It also doesn’t stop Doomfist’s abilities like a stun does…so he could STILL be dead.
(Brigitte is number one…as she blocks the damage from a Slam and can easily stun him in his face.)
