If you haven’t noticed Doomfist never gets anything and the bug fixes he received are barely anything but cosmetic changes. He didn’t appear in the Overwatch II behind the scenes ONCE during Blizzconline or got any new things added from the halloween terror or the lunar new year event this year. Not even a challenge skin.
So what’s the deal here devs why are you ignoring my man all the time? Why can’t he get any love or anything new added, even if it’s a skin or a voice line. It’s really obvious that he’s getting ignored and people are literally on here everyday trying to get you to listen and make him functional because he just isn’t good anywhere. Even top 500 players who you cater to the most are on here screaming for help.
Instead of fixing him you buff Hanzo and give McCree multiple buffs, keep hitscan the must pick across all ranks which makes him even worse. What do you have against Akande? I really need an answer.
Buffs or nerfs won’t change anything about doomfist. He needs an entire power shift. He needs to lose the one shot on fist and receive more power on his combos, like a street fighter character. I’m actually not the best person to discuss his balance, hopefully jit sees this he knows more about df then I ever could.
The answer to your headline is pretty simple.
Hes viable in most ranks (everything below mid masters).
Not just that. In low elo hes pretty good, because people play him like punchbot and the people are just not good enough to focus him down if he engages.
So he just jumps in, kills one and goes out and people in low elo dont know what to do against him. Ofc that annoys them.
I also believe its the cc in his kit that annoys people tbh
So its not disgraceful in any kind
Indeed, but combo that with his mobility and high hp that gets bigger because of shields and that’s when you start to see a problem. Again I’ll see if I can get jit here is knows how to explain this
If you play doom like you say you do, and you aren’t just a punch bot. Then you should know, doom mains rarely use punch for kills. It’s a mobility tool 85% of the time.
He is one of our doomfist experts. If I’m going to believe something about doomfist it’s definitly going to be something coming from him. (Even though most of the games he just dives head first into a cree and a brig and die. And then flame, no one is perfect I guess).
