whoever was in charge of making Doom a tank and decided it was ok to release him in OW2 like this should be ashamed of themselves. I don’t really play doom but decided to see what he was like and why he’s so bad.
My god was I shocked at how neutered he is. First off his Ult compared to other tanks is a complete joke better used as an escape than as an ult. you might get value if two enemy huddle in fear directly on top of each other and don’t move. anything outside of dead center of ult impact is a tickle to be ignored at best. Total incompetence.
Doom has to compete against Zarya how can burn and enemy down in under a second and bubble every doom dive…lol
same thing with DVA or any other tank for that matter. they all have more damage, WAY BETTER mitigation while doom has slightly better mobility which is meaningless because he’s a paper tiger.
These are the designs that make us lose faith in your ability to understand your own game. that power block of Dooms is the laziest design idea ever. Just pass the design to someone else. whoever is making this decision clearly doesn’t care or isn’t qualified to make these choices.
Mind you im not a doom main or even a real doom player but i play Tanks and any casual the gaping hole in his kit…well done
Im sure Mauga will break the game next patch and Doom will still be a POS

Idk i’d say if Doom doesnt work maybe switch or get better. After all i heard Bli$$ard is quite good at balancing their games.

His ult is hot garbage and not to be feared. All other tanks have ults that can swing the game. Doomfist has an ult thats a good getaway for him

Playing Doom in comp is just actively trolling your team. Blizzard wonders why they foster so much toxicity. Well look at your balance, you make such bad hero choices that merely playing them drive teammates insane.
Doomfist right now on the battlefield is a throw. He only wins game because the enemy tank is that bad and or your dps are that much better.
Mei who is a DPS does a better job as she is designed right now at being a tank. She makes more space and does more damage than doom does by a mile

Kotick wanted this crap rushed out asap and they wanted a extra tank so instead of coming up with something new they just did a halfassed conversion.

Is doom a tank now? Hahahaha I am glad already did quit before I figured THAT out.
Poor doomfist mains. He probably plays horrible now. And it was fun before…

I have a 100% winrate on him but those games are all exhausting because you need to constantly do 10 things while the enemy tank only does 1 or 2.

He was definitely a lot better as damage. Now? You’ll only get real value out of him by charging his RP enough you can stun a guy with a wall impact and kill him with the shotgun. He can escape most easily if he needs to, but even for a tank, his damage and mitigation are pathetic.
I can still cause a lot of havoc as him in most FFA games as him, but unless they:
A. Turn revert him back to his old kit.
B. Or keep as a tank, but make his shotgun hitscan, which he didn’t need before with all his CC then.
- change Block to buff his other 2 abilities (they all revolve around his fist, why don’t they?)
- buff his default melee damage and melee speed (why does Zenyatta, a MONK who never even uses his legs, have any CC and do more damage than any other character that’s not pure melee like Rein or Brig?). He’s a martial artist who with strength alone would demolish most characters, now add that in. He should be more dangerous with melee than Zen, simple as that. The only 2 that should do more melee damage are the characters DESIGNED for melee.
Unless he sees those changes, I’m never bringing him into QP, and I’ll rarely bring him into 4v4 DM. I can still give other players hell most of the time, even got a few stupid or otherwise nasty POTGs, but I’m not risking getting banned for a “throw pick” that’s not actually a throw pick, just difficult to make full use of.

He has to maybe block damage in order to maybe punch someone into maybe a wall hoping to maybe kill them…like…bro
meanwhile
Orisa can do the same on a 6 seconds cooldown

it’s like they got someone who doesn’t understand tanks at all to make him.
so whoever did doom convinced themselves that he should do no damage at all even after charging up the punch

that super punch he gets from the block doesnt kill most heroes and he is usually dead the minute that block is gone
doom needs the changes reverted back, return him to DPS and then nerf him from there (starting from the state he was in in OW1)
doom atm is just extremely terrible, provides no protection to his team and his mobility is so limited, why pick doom when you can just go zarya…

I laugh when enemy players pick doom , it’s an easy win , only rarely u meet a doom players that’s really good and will mostly use environments to their advantage, u can tell they are serious about their character.
I remember how much I hated Doom in OW 1, he was so annoying, but what they did to him now is 10 times worse. He’s basically useless. It’s like you have 4 people in your team when someone picks Doom. I wish they would bring the old Doom back, as annoying as he was, he was useful.
