Why can Doomfist 1-shot punch with Nano?

So like

Am I crazy or why is it okay that Doomfist can 1 shot you with a punch if it hits the person in front of you?

A tank with insane mobility, a perk that removes half the actual counters he has, AND the ability to 1-shot someone because they punched a tank

i agree its pretty ridiculous, so lets change nano boost from a damage buff to a firerate buff :+1:

Is using the damage boosting ultimate not supposed to be powerful?
Should it just be a cosmetic blue glow?

Doesn’t matter who it 's on. “Ouch” is generally the outcome.
And that makes sense to me for some reason.

I mean more the fact that if he hits someone next to you, or infront of you

You die

So if I am playing say Mercy, doing my job properly using my Tank hero to black damage and line of sight

And a Doomfist just hold mouse 2 and hits the biggest target on the team

Seems a bit silly that it will kill you BEHIND the person he actually hit

You mean the full heal, damage taken reduction, damage boosting ultimate?

Yep, that’s the one.

If it was more spammable I’d be furious. But it fits.

I believe OP was the victim of “wrong place at the wrong time”, or at least saw it happen.

“Wrong place”

Sorry for playing with my Tank, guess I should have reported them for having the biggest hitbox on the team and DARING to get punched near someone else

It fits in perfectly with the rest of her kit, all of which is grossly overpowered too.

I forgive you.
No need to report for plays happening.

But did you have a Brig or Doom or something to stalemate his punches?

Or did Ana see you getting bullied in a corner, and pressed a button to make your day better?

Annoying for sure. But at least her nade is now short enough I can almost ignore it like non ult hacks. Sometimes.

This hasn’t worked with nerfing Mercy’s damage boost or banning Mercy. The problem isn’t the damage boost, its the characters that get the boost.

We did until he got perks because the balance team is horrible; Had an Orisa who was pretty good at dealing with him until he got that stupid perk that lets him delete projectiles

Then it was pretty much done because he just spam punched the Orisa and kill anyone who wanted to play around our tank

Also the Ana on our team was the one who ragequit after dying 4 times in a row since he got powered punch because someone shot a projectile at him 5 minutes ago

Ok don’t get me wrong empowered punch is a stupid ability but if that works:

That’s a team problem. Which makes sense because your Ana quit but punching the horse over and over again is the worst way of playing doom and if he gets value out of that that’s a total team problem/diff

Team banned Genji and Freja so the enemy team had Sojourn/ Tracer

And Tracer was just doing that Tracer does with 6 damage and 30% dps passive

So the other support was TRYING to stick with the tank for help to avoid getting poked by Sojourn for 90% of their hp and then the Tracer poking them

Which I mean… I can’t blame them for getting a bit upset when you’re trying to play the game in a “proper” way, only for that to punish you as well

How is doom getting blamed for something he’s doing whilst nano boosted???

Like what?

Because he didn’t hit someone, but they died because… He hit someone else

People will cry and moan about Hanzo’s “random arrows” killing you

But it’s okay for a tank to hit another tank (The EASIEST target) and get rewarded with a kill because someone else happened to be near that tank

It’s the same problem Sojourn has, you just hit the tank, but kill someone else thanks to that

Ok… but this is nano boosted. Regular punch does not do that. Doom does not one shot normally, he’s one shotting because he has a 50% damage boost lol. That has nothing to do with doom.

Do you understand how awful doom would be if his punch had no AoE to it or even lower AoE?

Again; even if Nanoboosted, you can kill people you are not DIRECTLY interacting with. Genji can AoE hit people with blade, but he actually has to hit them. Imagine if he could kill you with a melee swing because the person 5 metres away from you got hit

So I mean like… Most tanks that don’t have AoE OR the mobility he has?

He is interacting with you. It’s an aoe ability. That’s like saying any aoe ability that isn’t directly hitting you but still damaging you is somehow problematic and “not interacting with you”.

You don’t hear them crying anymore now that Hanzo doesn’t one-shot. I assume he still one-shots with nano, so it’s the exact same thing. And no one complains about either.

Edit: Well turns out this is wrong and Hanzo does one-shot again. My bad.

You said this only happens with nano. Ana usually gets nano 2 to 4 times per round.

This 1-shot event happens rarely, and it costs an ultimate.
Sounds fair to me.
