The reason doom needs harsh nerfs

Sure, you get ages even after you make the decision of where you’re going to put it.

Grav you’ve thrown and done, no corrections no changing your mind because you spot a better target around the corner.

Meteor strike also has a cast time after the location is picked

Grav can be held for as long as zarya likes and is then tossed out with basically little warning.

Point is- both ults are guaranteed kills on specific heroes with absolutely nothing they themselves can do about it if criteria are met.

And this is true for many other heroes. Doomfists ult is no exception.

But hey- ill gladly re extend an offer to you that ive offered before

Add me on bnet

Well get some buddies.

And play some custom games

You can pick doomfist- ill pick ana / zen

You can show me first hand how much of a free kill i am, and show me first hand how little counter play it has. I mean pretty easy according to you right?

As before- this is still a genuine offer.

I’m not susprised that YOU get destroyed by who you’re supposed to counter, considering you spend your time only to complain on the forum instead of playing.

  1. Nice ad hominem.
  2. Pharah can 2 shot Widow.
  3. Pharah can fly, Widow can’t, thus maps with high ceilings, but short horizontal sight lines, like Oasis favor Pharah immensely.

Correct re: farming, but when it comes to doomfist you’re definitely wrong. In many cases there is no way to adapt unless you have a specific composition built around the idea of countering specifically him,.

86

Both those options rarely work tbh. brig is usually the best way to work around it (unless you’re willing to go for the off chance you can consistently sleep him on his engages from out of nowhere) and he definitely counters her too.

87

Widow can 1 shot Pharah

Leaving Pharsh wide open setting a good widow up with a free kill

You apparently need to read the defintion of short if you think most of Oasis has ‘short’ sightlines.

There are plenty of ways to adpat without having specific comps to counter.
I played a game the other day against a Masters Doom who we shredded, yet everyone but myself was playing heros he supposedly “counters”. Hell I even shred that Doomfist in less than 4 seconds(While he was nanoed) while completely disrupting his combo and saving our Zen
And this was without my trap.

89

what if doom had to charge up his fist bullet shots like a railgun and the more damage he did with abilites the quicker it charged? hmmmmmm

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg… and my arm… even my fingers. The body I’ve lost… the comrades I’ve lost… won’t stop hurting… It’s like they’re all still there. You feel it, too, don’t you?doomboi is fine btw

Add me on bnet. Lets get some buddies. Well do some customs.

You can take doomfist.

Learn to adapt to an unavoidable ult where you will die no matter what unless you get saved by a Zarya bubble or a shield somehow prevents you from dying?

There’s also no way to dodge his uppercut and slam combos. Just be grateful that his Rocket Punch wasn’t nerfed. Why? You can dodge that one and there’s counterplay.

Don’t see it as nerfs to Doomfist but buffs to Overwatch in general! :wink:

95

I mean that’s part of the reason he’s getting nerfed.

In reality, it seems Blizzard has realized the mistake in their own initial principles of one-shot heroes. If they have a oneshot in their kit -> the rest of their kit should be somewhat weak to balance it. Doom has been excluded of this as well as Hanzo, and the only one left who fits that mold is Widow. Sym was similar as well when she had the danger noodle. It was balanced but detracted from her kit as a whole.

97

It takes longer to zoom in and charge up one shot than it takes for Pharah to fire twice.

If you don’t know how to position with Pharah.

City center is okay, but the other 2 are extremely hard to snipe on.

98

Here we go with the no skill pathetic comment… again

If youre far you can easily kill her faster

Being forced to constantly behind something since peeking will get you kill sounds like getting countered to me

Cant deny that but i think the one with the pillar in the mid is decent for snipers (gardens was the name?)

100

And by the time you take that shot, if you are playing like a sniper should, the rockets will nit have reached you, or you could easily stafe to the side while scoped and be nowhere close to the blast.
You know, because widow is a hitscan and Pharah isn’t.
