If we’re bringing CC back, just give me DPS doom

Doom is effectively useless

I would actually rather be stunned than slowed…

and many more…

get ready for Season 4 JQ level performance but for Doomfist…

Unless they decide to nerf McCree instead to help everyone else at once and not just the most heavily impacted like Doomfist.

man screw buffs, give me back the hero I loved! all this “only tanks can have impactful cc” talk only for them to let non-tank heroes keep their hard cc is insane.
they literally reworked doom so they could say “hey guys look at this shiny new tank hero in ow2!”

give me back dps doom, hell nerf the guys damage or cc I just want uppercut and old slam back. I despise how easy and boring tank doom is to play.

A strong hero doesn’t need buffs because there is now an ability one hero has to counter his movement for 1.2s. Then people would be required to play cree into him every time assuming he got buffs.

I wouldn’t class doom as a strong tank hero lol. He’s automatically stronger than the squishy heroes due to 5v5 making tanks like that but compared to other tanks he’s not “strong”
gm1 btw before someone pulls the rank card.

While I agree with doom not needing buffs, as it would probably make him pretty op (and probably not help him that much against cassidy) this matchup is too one-sided now. If Cassidy sticks the doomfist, there is a pretty good chance the doom will die, and due to the faster pace of ow2 idk if there is really room to bait it out, especially considering that it has a fairly short cooldown.

Ha! You activated my trapcard!
This means you have to provide irrefutable proof you are gm1.

man everytime I say this I have to go through the same argument xD
check ripdpsdoom (main account) on overbuff I’m gm1 on tank and dps and gm4 on support (could be gm3 I haven’t played in months)

Which is why I said:

I don’t play either Cassidy or Doom, but I wouldn’t object to Doom being exempt from Hindered’s silence effect.

if they buff doom then supports have to worry again

I honestly don’t really think he needs buffs. I’ve only really struggled with pocket cassidy.

I feel like it’s ok because they just reactively throw it so you can block and kill him before or after.

I wouldn’t say no to buffs but let’s see

Hack is MUCH worse as it cancels block

You’d have to admit, the sleep dart nerf on Ana is brilliant for tanks

I love it

Yeah right.

They gigabuffed him once. Remember? Everyone said he sucked, so they gave him those huge buffs?

Then boom. 2 weeks later he was worse than before he got the buffs.

We know what happens when they buff Doom. Fastest hotfix in the new west.

Put him back where he belongs, the dps roster. Mei would have made a better tank than him. It was the obvious move, but you gave Doomfist a clunky block and Winston’s leap and called it a day.

Now you don’t know what to do with them. Do it, make Mei a tank and give us the real Doomfist back.

excuse me, but winston’s leap WORKS, don’t spread misinformation because doomfist’s slam sure as hell doesn’t.

17

I don’t know why Doomfist doesn’t mitigate the grenade damage, now he can’t even ult to cancel the grenade either. It feels bad to not be able to ult or punch with a cheeky ability. It’s actually better the hack cause its longer too.

18

we had doom buffs and he was nerfed in like one week to a worse state than before the buff. with the buff he wasn t even a top tier tank, just the supports cried tears. now with buffed cree and hog, sombra is in a good state, orisa, flyers… fun times

Cass nade is not hard CC if that’s what you’re talking about

I know people aren’t often fans of references like this:

But it was amusing watching Dafran one trick doom to t500

It took him 48 hours of play to get there.

For comparisons, his longest to my knowledge was mercy, at 51 hours.

He typically gets there in like 10 for most heroes.

Got there in like 8-9~ with rein
