Why does everyone hate Doomfist?

No seriously, why does everyone hate him? I find him very easy to counter, he takes a lot of skill. I never get annoyed from him, i find him the most fun character to play against. I just think people get annoyed to quick of good players, just because the enemy Doom is insane people start complaining. Also i find it stupid that people switch to counter Doom, but never to counter other characters. The second i play Doomfist, players tend to switch to Sombra and Pharah in a instant, even when i was doing bad. But when i play somebody else, the enemy team does not want to counter me. Even when i am doing a much better job, being more threatful.

I know this is more a personal opinion but i consider Doomfist being ballanced rather then being OP like everyone is saing.

I don’t i love the hero i just hate his ult. He vanishes off the map making it extremely hard to counter play for healers like zen and ana without corner spamming and that’s irritating as shiz in middle of a busy/hard team fight already.

The only way i’ve found out how to counter his ult without having to corner hump is waiting till the second he drops down and is still kneeling try and headshot him/pop his butt dead.

Because chivalry is dead and he won’t let it go

The funny part is that his ult (in my opinion) is the worst ultimate in the game, i had so many fails with it and it’s just a ight, imma head out real quick and be back in 4 or less seconds making no impact on the game and most likely die

Well, also everbody hates Reaper, but he has neither of this.
(Good, oneshots, if you you stick the shotgun down his throat)

I agree there as well i think they just over all need to keep it what it is but rework it in some fashion to make it more functional but also making it so he doesn’t just vanish off the screen completely (i don’t like invince frames, less counter play to them).

Sombra, Mei and Mercy as most played heroes. Don’t you think the irony is quite laughable there?

No counter play. If you’re on zen you just either die or don’t die based on whether doom did his combo correctly. It doesn’t have much to do with your actions as his target. It feels terrible to get bounced around like a pin ball. No character should have multiple different ways to CC you on that short of a CD.

Thanks for checking the profile that I purposely made public, but back to the topic at hand, no I do not think it is “Ironically speaking” let alone “laughable”

Realistically people tend to find something about a particular hero to hate, in this thread, we are discussing Doomfist, in which the controversial topic at hand as to why he is hated by most players is because his

  • One Shots / Combos
  • Crowd Control
  • Mobility
  • Which in Overwatch, these three are cause frustration amongst “many” of the players.

    With the heroes that you went out your way to check, the heroes

    Sombra has Mobility and Crowd Control, but she can’t one-shot.

    Mei has Crowd Control and can One-Shot, but she does not have mobility.


    Mercy has Mobility, but she does not have Crowd Control nor can One-Shot.


    With Doomfist, he has all three, so that is why many players tend to get so hasting in creating such hostile judgment towards him.

    Mei can’t even 1 shot unless she froze a 200hp target before headshoting (that means being less than 10 meters close to that target)
    And her crowd control is almost non-existent right now

    Because regardless of how good of a pick he actually is, constantly being CC’d, one-shot and combo’d by a high-health enemy that can instantly jump in and out of fights isn’t fun.

    He’d be better as a disruptor tank with lower damage like Hammond.

    Mei can still one-shot frozen targets, and she still offer crowd control with just her primary alone, even though it is not how it used to be before the nerfs.

    June 25th Edit: Had to correct myself.

    /End Edit.

    Only if they have less than 200hp, otherwise she cant 1headshot

    If you play Sombra or Mccree, its fun.

    Not everyone likes playing Sombra or Mccree. I dislike playing both but forced to.

    I am aware, that comment was implying 200 hp target in which more than 50% of the hero cast has 200hp. Like I said before she can still one-shot non frozen targets.

    people hate reaper because he’s strong in lower ranks and is good at dueling tanks, tank mains feel like they should win every 1v1 so they dislike him.

    sad, but thats how it works ._.
    he doesn’t even counter tanks in a non 1v1 situation nowadays.

    My bad. I was implying she’s not even really good either at the secondary fire considering Hanzo and Widow can do that easier

    He one shots, has insane mobility, a ton of cc and a fair amount of health factoring shields.
