What if doom got buffed?

I’m making this post because I’d like to see what some of your guys reactions might be if doom got buffed. It’s pretty common knowledge to anyone with a brain that a hero that has 7 nerfs and 0 buffs to compensate on top of 95% of the whole roster being neutral or counters to doom ON TOP of 50+ bugs(excluding techs) is pretty garbage. But even after all that there are still some people who believe dooms still op.

Personally I’d start by making his “ultimate” actually do dmg, his uppercut nerf reverted, and that’s pretty much it. It wouldn’t bring a doom meta since 2x shields aren’t meta and it would actually give doomfists original purpose, to assassinate 200hp squishys some light again instead of him punching tanks all game.

Like if you agree so mabye blizzard can get their heads out they a.s.s and do something but if you disagree please tell me why. And do not just say “he’s cancer” or “4 second one shot”

i just dont see it happening, currently i think he isnt a good pick comp wise because hit scan and stun are very meta but i think when the meta flips back he might be viable again. you could try to force him but there is just no point unless you knew every tech and had ur team call for orisa golds

I’d just revert uppercut. Making his kit less fluid never made sense to me.

His ult was nerfed because there were situations where it was unavoidable. So I don’t see that being straight reverted.

Also the big bug like isn’t like 50+ bugs. If you are going to complain about his bugs, then find a list, and help with posting examples.

I’d adapt.

I would hate his entire existence even more immensely and I would quietly rage in my soul and wish they’d just scrap him entirely, but I would adapt.

Imagine trying to invalidate my feelings while literally saying, “I would adapt” because of a forum icon.

You sound incredibly intelligent.

To go back to that - no.

I’m allowed to be frustrated but I will not rally or advocate for nerfs unless it becomes a problem outside of my own feelings. My playing Sombra (which I don’t even do anymore, I’ve been expanding on other DPS, supports, and practicing on tanks) is irrelevant.

Until then, what I feel and how I feel about it are going to be kept to myself. I don’t see how that is a problem lol

Losing a duel with a Doomfist because he tapped RMB for 0.2 seconds is pretty frustrating, but that’s not why Doomfist deserves to stay where he is.

It’s because playing Zen isn’t miserable anymore. :laughing:

No other hero suffers like poor Zen when Doomfist is good, because Doomfist can’t bully any other hero like that.

I can only play doom on echienwalde first point defense. That is it, only because I know like 4 different stuck spots that let’s you get clean 125 slams sliding across roofs

Maybe like other characters that were released, Doomfist was just terribly developed at the concept level. Trying to fit a fighting game character into an FPS is obviously too difficult for Blizzard since they have no experience in one and barely any experience in the other.

So doomfist deserves to stay a throw pick because zen players cry that their own crap character gets crapped on by another crap character :joy:

Makes sense

Realistically, even if he gets buffs/reverts for a bit, he’ll just end up nerfed again. If you really want him helped, you and other Doom mains would be better off trying to get him a rework you can live with.

Like, I sympathize, several of my mains are despised as well, but just look at the last forum survey (and every one before it for that matter). The general community does not want Doom even remotely playable as he is now.

The devs returning to work and checking out the forums the day after Doomfist gets buffed:

To be fair, I’m sure many of the devs have experience with making fps games with other companies. But regardless of experience, I don’t think a fighting style character would do well in any fps. In terms of being well designed and fitting into the game without many issues.

Thinking doom is actually a throw pick is funny, and what’s more funny is thinking zen is crap while being one of the best heroes atm.

i mean … there is one and there always has been one, posted multiple times

have you even been playing comp the past few weeks or are you just dense ?

How about you dont play zen into doom like how doom shouldnt play doom against literally every hitscan right now

idk why thats even an argument, seems to me like support player in this forum cant accept that they also have to swap at some point
