One of the most HATED features within Overwatch is the CC (Crowd Control) that so many heroes possess. So why do people not talk about the fact that ALL of Doomfist’s abilities are CC and surely with the changing times he is due a rework. I may just be someone that is frustrated with this character but he in my opinion is several times worse than most of the other CC that exists within the game. This is due to his fun aspect that allows him to chain 3 CCs then kill you. Meanwhile you just have to sit there stunned for 2 seconds before you die. I personally don’t know how I would rework him but I would like to get an alternative opinion or how people think he should be reworked.
P.S. I know Jeff said he wouldn’t rework anymore characters soon.
I understand that he can be countered that doesn’t make him less broken also if you want to be toxic then find someone who cares enough to consider your opinion valid
Ok you gotta drop the victim act here, I’m not trying to be toxic, I just quoted you.
If he was so broken everyone would complain about him which is clearly not the case, in the past I can understand he could have been really frustrating to play against but now you can survive his combo.
He punishes poor positionning harder than other characters and you should consider that when you play against him.
That’s the thing he doesn’t punish bad positioning he can punish anyone, even people with good positioning such as an Ana sitting far back on Hanamura A purely due to his very high mobility
I’m sorry but if a Doomfist on Hanamura A can kill an Ana sitting in the backline, it’s not that Doomfist is broken, it’s the enemy team that’s bad for not stopping it before.
A really simple way to soft counter Doomfist (without having to pick a Sombra or Cree) is to boop him away, with the recent changes it’s even more easy to displace him during his abilities and deny him any value.
That’s fair but my main argument is when you get into a 1v1 with Doomfist the pure amount of CC he has in absurd given the recent discussion about CC and if it belongs in this game
OW is not a 1v1 game, you have a team to protect you, if a Doomfist can force you into a 1v1 then a Genji or Tracer could have done the same and killed you without any CC.
Yeah it’s not fun to get comboed by DF randomly dropping from the sky but I honestly rather die to that, where I know I could have done something differently and survive, than dying to a f-ing Widowmaker headshotting me from across the map and I didn’t even know she was aiming at me.
Some characters can be frustrating to play against but it doesn’t make them unbalanced.
I get that genji and tracer could perform the same feat however I think that dying to a genji or tracer feels significantly better than being stunned for 2-3 seconds and then dying. I also understand your frustration about widowmaker however you have to remember that the widowmaker does require more skill to use that doomfist especially at longer ranges with targets being smaller. And it has to be a headshot
I am with you on Df dude, i think that the characters is stupid, and that his kit is broken af, i do NOT enjoy playing against him, at all. At least on top500\gm mmr, if you are q`d against a df onetrick, you should kinda expect every roof to be your enemy or smth, so yeah, reeeeaaaalllyyy not fun to play against.
The problem with doomfist is that my buttonmaching techniques or pinning someone in the corner and spaming the same attack at them over and over pinning them does not work… not even in mayhem…
So theres two things that cc will do stun/or knockback these are most common While these should punish damige dealers for being to Cocky i don’t think tanks should be effected by these and are sort of built to ither support in a push, preform a push or surviving a push while supports should not be vs cc for now though hack is maby the best option thx for reading
i am thinking of making a Delete X workshop mode… everyone start of with all hereo’s then as soon as you say hello to a character that player is now a soldier and no one can pick that character lol…
it will all end up as soldier only in no time lol…
Gonna start experimenting with that as soon as me and my cats get home lol
brig has one stun that you actually have to be remotely near her to get hit by. I can’t remember the last time I was. if it does, she does 110 damage max.
every one of df’s abilities both CC you and guarantee him a kill. he is and always has been one of the most broken and annoying heroes in the game.
If only that was true. Yes you can get a frag fairly easily but it’s not always a sure thing like it used to be, sometimes you punch someone into the air and they go flying god knows where.
the recent nerf just made it so he has to move his cursor a little. I’ve noticed people who actually play df discovered that if you move backwards after uppercutting since he has barely any spread but just enough, it’s pretty much exactly the same as before the nerf. I’m going to try moving towards him as well as ad-ad in uppercut, but nothing solid yet. it’s still better than any other dps’s ability except snipers regardless and the rest of his kit is the same.
Look, I get that Doomfist can be annoying in lower ranks and it’s assuming said Doomfist is a smurf knowing how to play but outside of that scenario he’s a fair character right now, you can counter him easily basically forcing him to switch.
It really feels like people are overreacting to CC in general, if anything the first name that should come up when talking about annoying CC is Wrecking Ball, now that is strong CC, piledriver sending a bunch of people into the air is way stronger that Doom’s uppercut or Brig’s Shieldbash and yet no one talks about it.
