I remember making all these posts in the past about doom bias, doom being a character that causes extremely volatile reactions in the playerbase if he’s somewhat decent, doom being a character blizzard has to just leave in the corner, and I hate to say I told you so but I told you so!
First they reworked him into a tank completely disregarding the veteran DF playerbase who spent hours learning how to play him into a Winston with extra steps, and then they effectively remove 16+ of his new techs.
For the past 2 years or so of ow1 DF he’s always been low tier-mediocre at best. Ow2 beta which brought all these new hero’s, new changes, new reworks. Still mediocre at best. Hmmm…let’s nerf him!
Sounds about right…
Nothings changed. Even though they reworked the dang character and ow2 is a whole separate game nothings changed! This point by itself should have you questioning the competentcy of this developer and the future of this franchise.
In depth video about this
I guess my final thoughts about this to wrap it up is that if they’re so willing to blatantly dumpster this character time and time again why not just remove him entirely from the game. It would make it easier for everyone including the doom players
First iteration of tank doom was a bit too powerful. So they nerfed em
Second iteration a bit too underpowered, could perhaps use the slow re-added to his slam but not as strongly.
The new iteration: Blizzard does not give a flying f*** about you. Overpowered, balanced, underpowered? None of that matters. Having fun is what matters, and we had too much for Blizz’s taste.
Go play others tanks is the message. Don’t focus in on one character. The less you feel attached to a specific character, the more likely you are to spread out and as a result spread your money across their various skins.
Doomfist really is like a fighting game character.
One thats the lowest on the tier list, doesn’t combo well at all and other characters can preform far much better in more situations. But gets the odd ok skin.
Only the snowflakes who abused bugs and glitches for years. People happy with changes don’t usually post on forums about it. Most people are glad they’re finally fixing doom.
I am all for them adding mobility to doom, provided it’s planned, and not a result of players exploiting glitches and bugs.
If we’re talking rank, you’re gold, I’m diamond/masters, depending on the role you’re talking about (I’ve only played against a handful of high ranked doom players, and it’s VERY impressive, as a sidenote).
If Blizzard agrees with a playstyle, formalize it (like they’re trying to do with mercy’s superjump). Don’t just leave glitches in the game for people to exploit. If they want doom to be able to exploit geometry, plan for it, develop for it, and communicate it as a part of the hero. Until they do that, most people aren’t going to lose sleep because a few snowflake are upset they can’t abuse glitches any more.
Doom is a specialist, situational hero. Doom players are by and large snowflakes because they are the first to complain when they can’t play doom 100% of the time, instead of using him in the narrow circumstances where he makes sense.
Riiiight thats why they didnt touch it for years after it was discovered (like mercy superjump)
Yes cuz putting the time to get better makes people like us snowflakes when it gets taken for virtually no reason considering even with them he was garbage for the longest time but you aint ready for that convo apparently,also you cant really plan for someone bumping off a slightly slanted rock just fyi
Have you seen the mercy/Sym community at all,also when exactly should one play doom?,never? Cuz thats what it feels like
Your essentially taking his one saving grace in a myriad of garbage and justifying it with hypotheticals and comparing it to something that neither benefits nor takes away from the hero
It takes like 3 minutes to learn superjump,it takes way longer to learn a tech,perform it,get the kill on the target,get out AND not to mention that u have to learn them on every map where that may or may not be possible.
