Increase Rocket Punch cd from 4s to 7s.
Decrease shield barriers max from 150 to 100.
Rings a bell somehow?

I swear everyone wants the DLC characters to be trash except Ana and Orisa… Orisa because she never actually got to see the light of day.

That’d make him unplayable

That’s a weird way of phrasing “we don’t want the new characters to invalidate old ones with little to no effort”

But they aren’t invalidating anyone, if anything its the other way around with all these reworks.

I cannot play Ana or Zenyatta against a half-way decent Doomfist.
Simple as that.
I have tried time and time again and he simply invalidates them.
I must go Lucio (I don’t play brig) and even then he can surprise me with an uppercut to primary fire to death in less than 2 seconds.
I also have no control of my air movement during uppercut.
And this is balanced?

Brig can’t even dispatch a good doomfist.
And my post isnt about Doomfist’s balance. Its about the fact that no one (exaggeration) likes the new characters and would rather be able to pick them off like berries off a bush with whatever the heck they please.

That only helps my case, but yea.
Yeah I see that, but that’s not what its about honestly. I think a lot of people like the new characters, they just don’t want them to invalidate the ones they have played for 2 years.
Because no one likes to adapt to anything. Its frustrating because these characters are really unique and I’d kill to see them more often.
I won’t discuss more on Doomfist because I don’t play him enough to form a reliable conclusion, but based on my games where I fight him, he seems to suffer from the same issue people have with widow, which is the reliance on one-shotting

Indeed, it was a satire on the Brigitte nerfs. I thought it was obvious from the 7s-stun and -50 shield nerfs. Well, and the “rings a bell” question, ehe.
I didn’t even read the stuff you wrote because you already baited me with the nonsense title

As someone who has spend hundreds of hours of playing support, and a decent chunk of playing Doomfist, I can tell you that he isn’t OP. The people who complain about him are the people who face a good Doomfist a couple of times, and think he’s OP for it. He’s not. Widowmaker can miss a shot, and unless it’s a flanker on their way to kill her, she’s safe. She can miss shots all she wants, and not worry about her dying immediately. Doomfist, on the other hand, throws himself into combat, near the middle of the fight, and has to use all his abilities to get out or in. He can throw himself in, and get screwed when he uses all his abilities up, or he can only use one ability, hope to get a kill, and throw himself out. Not a very good way to play, if you can’t aim. He isn’t reliant on one shotting heroes, he relies on hitting them. If he can hit with slam, he can deal a lot of damage in that space with his primary. If he hits uppercut, the trajectory is pretty much locked (Opponent has no air control), and can be hit with slam or fist. If he hits fist, he’ll either kill them if a full charge shot, or be able to deal combo them. Those are the only ways he can deal damage. He can’t play it safe. He’s very high risk. He isn’t OP, he’s just very good in the right hands (like every other hero). It takes way more skill to do well with him, than to deal well with someone like Soldier.

have you not been here this week?
Excellent (20 chars pepehands)
I don’t honestly understand everyone who keeps giving doomfist these huge nerfs. They could do simple things like maybe increase the charge time of rocket punch a little giving you more time to dodge it, and maybe decrease the range of rocket punch by a meter or two. He doesn’t need anything like this.
Thats a very small vocal minority. Everyone replying to them usually shut them down.
point still stands lol
Doomfist is broken. I’m uploading a video of the dude killing me about 14 times in Masters. I never die that much!!! All he did was kill me with his abilities! He takes no skill. I don’t care what anyone has to say. He also hard to kill with his 5 shield buff change.
Doomfist counters the both of them. You know this, and you play them anyway? I don’t think the problem is Doomfist here. Furthermore, if you’re playing Ana you can sleep dart Doomfist in the middle of his combo.
