At least its actually thematically baked in with Doomfist, and has a purpose in his kit that isnt just damage reduction
But for Hazard its never been more apparent that power blocks are disgusting mongrel game design, and is the ability Blizzard likes to throw onto their DPS’s so they can pretend theyve made a tank.
These abilities need to be cooldowns, not resources, and if theyre going to be resources Id rather them be more like personal shields akin to brig for the reason that it actually displays how much health is left, and it can only take so much damage before crumbling.
Instead we get this nonsense “I crossed my arms that means I take no damage” where through direct fire of a Soldier, Echo, and Hazard, despite DPS passive reducing all healing by 25%, enemy Hazard is actually HEALING through it.
Power blocks have to be the most creatively bankrupt and ineptly made abilities in the game, especially in an Overwatch where 90% of all hard CC’s have been removed.
