Y’all bout to be real mad at me

But it must be said.

DF is way more unhealthy for the game then brig is. The forums scream that she ruined the game, while DF sits quietly with no blame.

He’s a hero built on CC and burst damage, that’s only countered by more CC and burst damage

He’s either a troll pick, or he’s OP. No in between. Imo, it’s his kit. He’s got so much power to it, that it’s hard to find a middle ground.

I’d say a 0.1sec stun is less frustrating than a 1.0 sec stun.

I dunno, the forum seems to have equally as many DF posts as Brig posts these days

I don’t know the exact duration, but it’s definitely more than that. I’m fairly certain it’s at least half a second at full charge (or until death, depending on the seemingly arbitrary decision of whether it “hit a wall” or not).

I actually felt that way about Doomfist.

I still think his kit is designed to be infuriating. However, I think he’s fine. There are heroes that can cripple him (Sombra, Mei, Ashe, McCree, Pharah).

Then there are heroes who can do well against him, depending on who gets the jump on the other first. It’s a toss-up, but Orisa, Zarya, Soldier, Junkrat, Ana.

Doomfist was also nerfed prior, so it’s not like he went under the radar. Though, he did get buffs. A lot of his counters got one, too.

However, I find Widowmaker to be even worse than her. A hero designed to literally one-shot most of the roster with a hitscan weapon is even worse for the game overall. At least with Doomfist, you can punish him with multiple heroes.

With Widow, no matter how good you are, you can’t do anything against a good Widow except be instantly deleted.

My recommendation is to start practicing with the heroes that can absolutely ruin Doomfist’s day. You’ll be able to keep him in check. His design may not be the best for the game, but I find that there are worse designs in the game. Lookin’ at Hanzo and Widow, mainly.

Preach sister :tea:

Uhh Doomfist got the sledgehammer, a few months ago because of all of the complaining. He has counterplay and is countered by many heroes too.

He’s not a troll pick, he’s not op, he’s just right. He’s balanced, and he just need his ult reworked. All u or your team have to do is play smart, play a hero that counter him, play a support that has a easier time against Doomfist, and plz Pay attention to the sounds he makes. Do any of these and DF isn’t a problem, don’t do any of these then that’s u and your team fault. Let’s not get him nerfed again for no reason or because your team didn’t do anything against him.

1 stun DF is dead, 1 hack DF just have his little peashooter left, 1 boop can mess up the whole combo. That’s all it takes, and using teamwork to deal with Doomfist is good.

Let’s also not forget he enables sombra when he’s good, which these forums also hate.

Imo pretty much every hero they have added post release other than ana and ashe are bad for the game. Most just have a ton of cc.

Doom actually gets quite a bit of hate on the forums.

omg iconic queen :heart_eyes::nail_care:

Try this experiment. Put otp doomfist on brigitte, and put otp brigitte on doomfist.

Sombra is too, i really don’t mind brig as any hero i play

No, it’s a very brief stun with a knock back. It’s just enough of a stun to cancel what you are doing, and it isn’t as problematic because you aren’t standing still.

Standing still (Flashbang/Freeze/Bash) means dead.

My mains don’t have trouble with him so he doesn’t annoy me too much.Even on Ana unless I get hit with rocket punch first I can usually sleep him.
