What were you on?
What honestly thought hyper mobility, with one shots and CC was a good idea?
When they nerf him never forget what he has put you guys through.

Well for the first like year he was out he was a trash pick.
His shield gaining passive probably needs a nerf, but otherwise a lot of his strength just comes from that he is largely unaffected by the common double barrier comps.

I hate this fallacy so much. Whether double barrier exists or not, when I am a support and he one punches me from across the map behind a corner, it does not matter if I have Orisa Sigma in front of me instead of DVA Winston.
Hes broken and miserable to play against.
I know the stats show that I am right, and while Blizz will not release those to validate it, he is in every game and beyond impossible to deal with.
He needs to be tuned so that he is effective in wider areas, not so feast or famine. His feast is as big as a christmas dinner…

Orisa/Roadhog can counter him pretty hard and it’s notably more dangerous for him to dive into Rein/Zarya than Orisa/Sigma. Moira and Ana can save themselves from being ambushed by him, Brig can easily survive if you shield bash his Rocket Punch even if it results in a double stun since the Brig should be near her allies and Lucio has decent dueling capability against him between wallride and boop.
Zen, Mercy, and Baptiste are bad matchups against him but the rest all have the tools to at least save themselves reliably (Though I’ve had success running Zen with Brig for Discord Orb). And I say this as a plat support main myself, save your abilities for the Doomfist because if he doesn’t get his abilities off then he doesn’t get temp shields and has to retreat, and if you do it consistently you’re effectively turning the fight into a 6v5.
I still stand by his shields gained being a bit too much now, but those shields can be denied all together.

He is in every game because this meta is countered by him, what other reason do you think he would be played?

What were they on when they made widow? Beginning a sniper that can one shot body shot zen and tracer (150 hp in the beginning of the game) and a sniper with mobility that has an ability to keep flankers in check

Feelings should not be factored when balancing,
and no Doom is not broken, just effective against two shields
and his counters are bad
Want a broken hero ?
Widowmaker say hi
There, Widowmaker again

He’s just too tough for his combination of mobility and lethality. I’ll be happy when he inevitably gets nerfed.

He’s in most games despite if there’s any shields to “counter” or not. He’s all over the arcade aswell and not much of a meta there

He definitely will get nerfed, but I hope he gets nerfed after Orisa gets nerfed, she is severely overtuned
Raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally victimized by Doomfist.
You’re conveniently ignoring the fact that he was a bad pick for the vast majority of his existence. That’s obvious evidence that there’s nothing wrong with his kit as a concept, and if that’s true, they just need to nerf him a bit if their data shows he’s overpowered.

They were on some of that street fighter stuff…
I wouldn’t mid if they nerfed widow but at least you can take cover from a widow. No matter how good she is, she can’t shot through walls or shields. She is also limited on where she can be to be effective without risking getting dived.
Not to mention that a widow is just as lethal as her skill level. Landing a headshot is soo much harder than learning Doomfist 2 main means of killing people by muscle memory.
Can somebody explain to me what “Hyper mobility” actually is?
It feels like Hyper is just slapped on to make it seem like more of an issue than it is.
And if it is a thing then why does Doomfist qualify for Hyper mobility but nobody calls Genji out on the same? (Not saying Genji needs nerfs or anything like that, just that he’s more mobile than Doom.)
'Kay parrot,you got your wanted attention. Now bye.

I just hate the fact that they nerfed Sombra, because she was used in GOAT’s Comp regardless with her stats being that she was not in needing of any forms of nerfs, but they still nerfed her 3 times.
Same should be applied I guess, even though I hate it… but the stats shows that he is indeed a problem.

There was a lot of hype and a lot of fans who wanted a melee-style hero like Doomfist.
I do want him slightly nerfed. But I want him viable, still, and I do not want him nerfed until barrier-centric metas are put to rest.

If a hero got mobility on every single ability, it’s safe to call it hyper mobility. And Genji requires way more skill to kill a hero from full hp than Doomfist needs and genji can get countered by shields and healing. His ulti is more busted than Doomfist’s in some ways but in all other Genji gets outshined by Doom

A lot of CC heroes can usually counter Doomfist, but it’s more a team effort to counter him in a teamplay.
Don’t expect a CC hero can counter Doomfist who’s heavily enabled by his teammates. (e.g Zarya’s bubble, Mercy’s pocket heal, etc.)
Same concept, a hitscan hero can counter Pharah but not PharMercy.
