Tank main on this account, low diamond currently.
What i have noticed is if every player on the team doesn’t swap to a doomfist counter, he just dominates because he is the only hero in the game that can stunlock players.
Yes i know what tanks counter doomfist. Right now im between orisa and hog. I can spear him out of block every jump in, but if the dps dont look at him he gets out. I can hook him out of block every time, but he gets out due to short cooldowns plus the enemy healer will go ana and dump on me.
IMHO the only way to truly counter doom is to run 4 hard counters, orisa, cree, sombra. ana or brig.
Its just an extremely unfun hero to play against because if i focus him as tank, im not dying, but just getting bounced around and stunned perpetually.

Shooting his power block resets his punch don’t shoot his block. Doom is heavily reliant on CDS if you force out block stop it before it’s empowered and force out his leap he can’t engage during that time and is essentially useless.
I think many people need to get better at dodging / predicting his punches.
It is very telegraphed.
Well, of course i havent played in the same matches as you, but there are players who know how to play around a doom and those who really dont (or dont attempt to for some reason).
May be some people just get frustrated immediately if they are playing against doom or something.
Of course with a tank its probably harder to dodge, but if your squishy teammates are getting permanently hit by his punches they need to move better.
Everyone should just shoot the piss out of him when he dives, then he dies blocking or not giving you 7-10 free seconds to kill everyone else.

Hard countering is such a trash thing to do; way to make a character unplayable for your opponent by exploiting the games trash balance because you can’t outplay your opponent with your own characters. The best way to deal with a doomfist IS doomfist, I know this playerbase loves one tricking their low skill = high reward characters, but try playing all the characters in the game; its not a fighting game, its not hard.

To some extent yes, people are sometimes too scared to shoot at him when he’s blocking.
i think i’m going to put everyone on ignore who uses this condescending and rude term.
Yah, I think so.
Shooting him all hands on deck does work of the team is involved. I’ve beat him as Mauga with that strategy before.
But also inb4 I’ve played doom into doom and just punched him too. His kit just feels lazy and cheap.
There should be NO ability in the game that you can’t break with enough dps. Such as mei ice block and the block ability

If they go Ana, Zarya bubble whoever he dives and cleanse yourself.
Depending on the rest of their comp, sigma can work too. Or go ball and just dive his unprotected back line.
