In the past 10 games doom as been in all of them (and lost every single time! please stop playing him!). Unfortunately most of those (all one tricks because is there any other kind of doom player?) were on my team so that’s about 6 losses for me. 6 games that were lost in the loading screen because the doom onetrick that was feeding all game got put on my team. ugh.

This is why I stick to qp tbh. Tank picks doom or hog then I leave.
Hes like the widow hanzo of tanks.
Healers impossible to kill? Hey you can atleast try to one shot the really bad ones.

isnt it funny how the thing that is just as likely to happen to enemy team ONLY happens to forumer’s team?

No, he isn’t, it’s not even close. They both take way more “skill” to get kills than him, he is unbalanced and easy to kill with, that’s why he is popular and meta.
I meant they are similiar in that people play these because its very hard rn to outpace healers at a reasonable timeframe.

Every time I see someone exaggerating how often they see Symmetra. Ah, yes, the 1% pickrate hero was in all 10 of your matches. In a row. Totally. Absolutely.

What rank are you in? Doom has a high skill floor to play. You can’t just pick him as a gold Orisa player and expect to do well.

It might be because he saw World Cup play. Every goofball out there saw the Cup and went “durr, I can do that!” Not understanding that Doomfist was successful because of the support and dps follow up play.
So they jump into games and stink up a disproportionate number of them up with subpar Doomfist play.
That’s my theory, anyway. 
He was in every game before blizzcon even started lol.
And he absolutely can solo people, moreso infact than every other tank, in a reasonable manner (so no roadhog, 100 energy zarya, etc)

He saw heavy use in the qualifiers a few months back too. He seems to be the pro go to dive tank right now.

Hes been good for some time now and ive been saying it all the time (not that thats of any significance lol) but genji/doom mains are, imo, the best professional victims this game has to offer.
I dont dislike these characters, i dont think they are easy, i respected the good ones, but wow the playerbase makes a really arguement for me to hate them.

well it’s the same as those picking mei all the time after they’ve seen the worlds and being really bad. People (but OW players especially) are in general not very intelligent and cannot make decisions for themselves and just mimic what they see like monkeys without even understanding the point behind those choices

In QP, it’s simple, it’s fun to play, just like people get genji or hanzo and don’t kill anything, or moira and dive the enemy back line, die and still end up with more kills and heals than anyone on the team.
Now about comp,which is what you asked, if you go below gold, maybe below plat, doom is not effective because the player is not good, and those who play against doom are not good. Doom will use all the CDs and die, he won’t even think that he can’t be heal due to LoS, and no one on the team will keep a CD to avoid this doom, but it’s still fun, and I believe that the lower the rank, the less the player cares about the meta and the better composition for the team and chooses what to play based on what he wants to play, but this is based on my opinion, so anyone in those ranks will know more.
Now above Silver, Doom starts to be more viable, as players start to understand the hero better and how to react against him, don’t get me wrong, he will still die a lot and other tanks will have more value in these ranks, but he It’s fun and will survive longer and create more opportunities, as it will force a lot of CD, take different angles thanks to high mobility and creating openings for dps and support.
I saw that you said you are a master, so doom is not bad at this level, if the player is used to playing Doom. You just have to understand that the higher the level, he will create and force space/CD but him probably won’t kill anything, of course there will always be a Zbra, but in most cases the big advantage of Doom is dive in, force cd, create overhealth and the ult charge, dive out(the first dive is usually bait, the second and third is the main play) in the meantime it will leave the team free for damage and for the enemy tank, but it’s not his fault and that’s how the hero works. knowing that there is Doom on the team you have to position yourself correctly and think better about your use of CD
Doom works, the problem is that no one is used to playing for or against, so it can seem strong or weak, if I’m playing ana, I position myself far away and save my CD to see what the enemy team is going to do and make it clear to my Doom that he won’t have much healing(LoS), if the enemy comes at me, I try to survive long enough and hope that my team uses that space, if they don’t come at me, I have a free zone to do what I want, and Ana is very strong when it’s free.
It’s hard to believe that 6 different people are making the same mistake in 6 games on probably different maps, it’s easier for 1 person to make the same mistake in 6 games, take a look at the replays and see what you could have done better to survive or help your doom, and if the answer is nothing, gg go next, there’s not much you can do, but the answer is never that simple

It’s sort of funny people hate on Doom so much; I do get it because there are a lot of bad ones, but I don’t one-trick him (I don’t even main tank) and I seem to have a reasonable amount of success playing him.
Then again, I only pick him if he seems to fit the comp, and unlike one-tricks I’m happy to swap when he doesn’t work. My conclusion: the problem is one-tricks, not Doom.

If he’s so unblanaced and easy to kill with why dont you prove it to us pick him and give us the replay of your first game with him I’d love to see it

He’s a throw pick now it seems.
just played a game where he was pretty much useless on attack, the tank switches to Orisa and we full hold.
Maybe not a throw pick, but everyone was boosted by Dooms broken CC so now we have to wait for them to drop in rank. Also Zarya, Orisa, Sigma are just stronger tanks. You got people playing Doom on circuit royale against Sigma throwing games.
