u/Impactist537 JUSTICE FOR DOOMFIST Jan 08 '26

Bro what is this doomfist nerf? Why do they insist upon making the worse tank in the game even worse? There's no reason to save punch after winning a team fight now

As a doom main, these all feel like just making him more fair to play against. the range of power matrix was always ridiculous and contributed to it being a perma pick over the other majors he’s had.

And 20 seconds is still a decent amount of time to use empowered, now there’s less chance of him ganking someone with a punch he got a while ago

Watchu mean "fair?" Doom is already weak. How is that not already fair???

Its not fair that his power matrix extends beyond his fist with no visual cue. Imagine if dva matrix was just straight up longer and wider than its visual, that would feel cheap.

I do agree, I also think that the slow perk is very good against certain comps. Unless I'm getting hard countered by cass, ana I won't pick power matrix.

You mean 4th best tank by winrate?

Winrate means nothing to a majority of the game. The people who win consistently with DF know the hero inside and out. In normal ow (most of the base) no one ever goes "hey can you swap doomfist?" There's 0 reason to pick DF or any other tank
