Seriously what is going on in blizz HQ?
There’s no way you feel this character is in a good state.
Enhancet rocket punch, full cast should 1 shot a lot of heroes. There’s no ifs and buts on this. It’s almost a 4 sec cast…
enhance Rocket Punch shold counter brig and rein charge among many other moves like javelin, hook, especially full casted one.
His ultimate has to stop doing RNG damage. I’ve gotten people right in the middle of the circle, surviving with no ana ult or buffs on them. It’s bad.
Rewarding counterplay should be his strength. Right now for me to do damage, I’d have to do a full rotation TWICE just to get things off right. His hand gun damage gameplay is garbage. That should be the last resort type of attack out of all the things he does. Buff Doomfist already. He never needed an enhanced stun, his damage (enhanced) should be a threat period. That’s literally part of his lore.

Its 1.6sec to max charge, but you can hold punch for 4sec. Really, you just need long enough to hit someone, then finish them on the stun with a primary fire headshot. That’s where the real power comes from and healthier for the game than spamming stuns with high damage output. It makes him a more skilled hero.
A one shot empower punch that has 50% the size, can hit multiple targets, and you get from people hitting a block is bordering Roadhog hook levels of easy of use. At least more hogs mess up his combo because a follow-up well placed shot and melee is required. Just killing off punch alone is stupid.
Nah, Doomfist was in an amazing spot before his buffs because people had finally learned how to play him. However, after his buffs that made him meta for like 1-2wks, he got nerfed on two things. His 80dmg block went back to 100 and his rocket punch went from 3 to 4seconds.
I think the powerblock going from 80 to 100 was the biggest issue since it was so easy to power him up by mistake at 80 giving him a lot of great value in stunning multiple people can gaining easy shields for extra health.
hes significantly worse than 1.0. what makes you think this team can balance?

revert him to dps and do a damage nerf to his entire kit.
get rid of one shot punch, lower max slam damage so surprised targets have more time to fight back and the keep the current hand canon damage.
never needed a rework.
My winrate on doomfist is 71% my winrate on genji is 48% those are the 2 characters i play the most, im gold/plat. Thats my data, do as you wish with that, any other character these 2 latest seasons i havent played so much so that the data would be reliable in any way.
Ask me anything and I will respond truthfully.
What i will say about my experience of playing doomfist in competitive is this… People are quick to blame doomfist when it does go a little poorly, but even those times people beg me to switch we usually win. Now, im no expert at all but i have a theory about what thats about. Doomfist does things to disrupt the enemy team, and to my team that might just look like feeding or something. I have one example… Lets say im up against orisa and shes very aggressiv which works for her because with heals she is unstoppable. What i do is either kill a support or two or if i cant i just make sure to give them a bad day. The orisa gets tilted because she’s not getting healed and my team think the dps is carrying because they killed the orisa. I needed to grow some balls playing doomfist because i usually am pretty bad at dealing with negativity and people beg me to switch tank every other match or so. Even my friend at one point begged me to switch because he couldnt see how i was helpful but we won that time too.

I’m gm and I can confidently say he’s one of the worst tanks.
Hammond is the worst and then its between junkerqueen and doom.
he’s worse than he was in season 1.

I’ve actually been maining doom this season. Currently Masters 2.
I don’t think he needs any changes. Roadhog and Orisa are just too OP right now. Against any other tank, Doom plays exceptionally.
Wait what? Punch takes 1 second to charge and you cannot hold it for 4 seconds it releases itself after 2 seconds of being held

You can go into training mode and see regular punch can hold for 4sec and ult for a free empowered that can be held for 4sec as well. As well as count for a ~2sec charge on the bar filling up
Does he need buffs?? Is he just average right now due to Hog/Orisa being so common/strong or is he actually weak? Seems to me like he can do really well but Orisa/Hog are just everywhere at the moment
I would love his hand cannon to be a hitscan weapon instead of a projectile one.
He’s like a buff or two away from being insufferable. Idk what they could do to make him good but fun to play against
blizzard was quick to destroy doomfist in a single balance patch but when it comes to hog and orisa i guess they just get a free pass to dominate the entire meta for the rest of the season

First of all Doomfist must be cured from his BUGS.
Doomfist have more than 4 critical bugs, but for some reason still not deleted from the game (like it was witch mei or torbjorn).
Google it: [The New Hydra (Doomfist Buglist 2.0) - Google Docs]
Here is 16 pages of Doom bugs witch explanations and video proofs. Fixing them will be an ultimate buff. (And will be funny if they decide nerf him again after fixing, lol.)

Can you explain to me why people say JQ is fine?
I keep saying she’s at the best a C tier heroe but i keep seeing people say she’s B or A tier.
I really can’t get my head around their reasoning
I think when people have poor aim her self heals actually do something? They dont counter play as much either in lower ranks i think? Im only guessing.
Doomfist is really obnoxious when he works so buffing him is difficult. Wrecking Ball too. They just move about and do whatever the heck they want, deleting people (when they are powerful enough). If they can’t delete people then why play them VS other tanks. If they can delete people, then why play a tank without mobility.
I’d argue Doom and Wrecking Ball are as powerful as they should be allowed to be. Which is problematic because Ram-Orisa-Hog are 5x more powerful.
how about not nerfing him? he was fine is season1. he is not fine now.
Pretty ok ultimate that’ll punish people with bad positioning and can cancel out a lot of things such as zen/moria ult and so on, top it off with ok damage output.
But that’s more at a lower rank(s) for junker queen, she’s def not getting away with anything at higher due to kiriko and better tanks being picked.
I agree to a certain degree. At lower rank, the problen us people don’t follow her bersek gameplay amd healers are really bad.
I had really good games with her but I am usually forced to switch if the healing is just a little bit off.
