Doomfist Discussion

Didn't see a thread yet and wanted to get early impressions.

I know it's too early to tell for sure, but it's fun to speculate.
Too mobile? Happy to see more overheal in OW? Does he compliment dive comps or actually work well against them like some people have been crazily speculating?

Good with dive but better against, although he does get shit on by sombra and is bad against tracer.

This explains how DF is going to fit in, according to Koreans (such as WhoRU and Meta Athena). Looks like we're actually in for a very versatile and flexible meta.

i like his mobility and the fluidity of his kit.

my only concern is the one shot ability. i've heard suggestions of spreading his damage throughout his combos rather than putting it all into his right click. like having his leap do more damage than it does and right click do less. easy one shots are just unfun in fps games and i'm surprised this hasn't occurred to blizzard by now.

seems like he will be a good addition to dive comps. though it's probably too early to tell if he can work against dive (hopefully)

The real problem is: who will be more able with DF? I think that the most similar role as ability is the main tank ones....let me explain: jump similar to wiston, charge as rein and up in the air as dva..... i dont say to use DF as main tank but main tank wil be able to use him very well..... i think he will be considered as projectile dps so the genji will go for him in case or the flex offtank. But he is totaly different to an hitscan and even from tha actualy projectile roster(except for the mobility).
But i still think that the main tanks player will easily learn how to play him

Edit: for example i think that an agressive reinhardt like reinforce will easily master DF

:okhand:

I feel as though he has a high skill ceiling cause you need to time those combos around the cooldowns so that you aren't just getting one pick with a combo then dying afterwards.

I think if he ia supported by a zarya and an ana he is a fantastic time taker.....even if he doesnt kill he can be ables to does a lot of damage........ also he has a fantastic combo with orisa graviton amd DF right click.....that combo is absurde....and when DF and another time taker (reaper ) have done a tot of damage supparted by ana and zarya the lucio boost zarya inside the fight orisa and ana more close and you win the fight.....this is THE DOOM OF THE GRAVITON'S GIRLS FIST
(copriright on the name pls)

I will say turning on low gravity and upping movement speed with him is fun, I just launched my self off the map multiple times by mistake bc your drifting and your ground slam wont go off

You can brofist

check tvique stream, eu pros played scrims with him
looks like a good dva counter (most abilities not affected by matrix) and good dive addition, good against tanks, slow targets while bad against long distance and flankers
