Widow is not a counter to Doomfist-- It’s usually the other way around.

Doomfist players: After being neglected and swarmed with bugs he’s finally viable now! Hooray!
Blizzard: Witness me!

That aside, i heard the nerfs ain’t that bad, but haven’t try it myself.

It’s almost like a unintended mechanic made him too strong.

yet blizz is nerfing SS and uppercut

so your ā€œunintended mechanicā€ argument holds no weight

Actually you’re wrong. They were thinking of gutting the ā€˜tech’ but instead they liked it so they attacked it on a different level.(Gutting it felt too much to them) By nerfing some of his other aspects. So your arguments holds no weight.

I have been gaming for a long long time now. Across many different genres on several different platforms… whenever people start saying ā€œfinally viableā€ it is the proverbial canary in the coal mine for being overpowered.

The meta changed with it balancing must follow.

Look at Master and GM, he hS a better WR than Genji and is picked less, but I’d the second most picked damage hero.

No one gets close to Genji.
No.
One.

So since they decided to not get rid of the rocket punch momentum, that means it’s a feature now, right?

As a Widowmaker main I disagree.
It could be personal differences, but as long as I stay a fair distance away usually I come out unscathed.

Thisā˜ļø

Also i’m somewhat mixed on the seismic slam nerf but the uppercut nerf is a blessing to everyone who isn’t doomfist and it doesn’t nerf doomfist very much ether, overall i don’t think these nerfs will be the end all for him like junkrat’s.

I’m a Widow main too so I feel, in this case, then it’s probably personal differences. Doomfist’s CCs are what gets me tbh, and I personally feel like his ability cooldowns aren’t long enough so they end up destroying me when I’m Widow.

I agree, just what causes the most problems for me with DF is that your never really safe, forcing you to go ridiculously far back.

My advice, stay back and always keep grapple up.

The nerfs aren’t that bad at all, people are blowing it out of proportion.

Still doesn’t make it a feature.

Hes being nerfed because hes too good.

Jumping into the enemy group and get 1 - 2 kills and jumping out before anyone can react is kinda too much.
Sombra even has a hard time getting a hack off in the time it takes for him to do all that.
