State of Doomfist

Can anyone tell me why Blizzard don’t just remove a hero instead nerfing him to the ground? Are there any plans of Blizzard to revert some nerfs on Doomfist or change him? Doomfist is the first Hero with a useless ultimate.

Both Pharah and McCree laugh

overnerfing hero = temporare deletion of that hero, except with overnerfing hero still remains on screen, creating illusion of this game having content.

mccree’s ult before buff says hi, plenty of people have to deal with bad or useless ults, but at least dooms is good in a grav or earthshatter.

Agreed. It amazes me that someone got paid to balance him haha.

They nerfed doomfist?

I’m sorry, but Pharah has a really strong ultimate and with McCree I get a lot of times some kills. But with Doomfist it’s only possible on ppl who are not moving. That is ridiculous.

Phara ult is good, but if you just gona fly with her solo in front of other team then its normal you gona get killed.
Compared to mc ult we can aslo state that her ult is way better agains shield tanks.

Pharah can be defended easily with Zarya bubble or D.va Matrix. And Mccree’s Q being an instant reload is still better than DF’s ult

Doom’s winrate is totally fine currently and higher than a lot of the Damage roster (50.50%). Idk what you want because buffing him would make his winrate spike again.

You are talking about stats before the 4 nerfs. 1-2 ok, but 4 is much too high.

Tell that to Mercy/Brigitte

McCree’s using his ult to reload is about equivalent to DF’s using his as a glorified Recall. At the very least, it is an invuln skill with minimal windup and can get you across the map if you need, even if you don’t use it offensively.

They’ll be fiddling with Doomfist until the servers shut down. Unfortunately, he’s on a balancing razor edge. Too much power by just a tiny bit, and he’s OP. A tad too little, and he feeds.

Unfortunately, with power creep and other balance changes, “balanced” is a moving target. I fear Doomfist will always be unbalanced as a result.

Doomfist is still viable, the low-skill abusers of his auto-combo are just upset that they are hemorrhaging SR now.

I still see Doomfist in my games and literally no one has complained about him being a throw pick or being too OP.

In my games at least.

rework costs time, time is money, activision stagnated bliz
