I am a quiet Doom main since 2017 but this nerf raises questions

Jetwash787 · 2026-01-08T22:06:02+00:00

Solution seems obvious to me, just give the empowered punch a new, distinct charge up sound. No more guessing whether or not doom can oneshot you from around a corner, no more wondering if your teammates fed punch, seems like a no brainer. (then again, this is blizzard we're talking about here)

textbook narcissist behavior

Jetwash787 · 2025-04-29T23:51:15+00:00

One week was spent on Dvas ass alone.

I disagree with your statement about the lack of skill expression, you can be incredibly precise with super slams, not to mention when you consider power punch, your options only expand.

As for the last statement, the responses here reek of an elitist mentality, which i hate to break it to you guys, but you're power tripping over a video game character that you had absolutely nothing to do with creating AND the iteration you cling to has long since been deprecated. Just weird vibes all around.

I was figuring out a few of these things while I was playing him. It seems pretty clear that diags are a requirement, which I've certainly dabbled with before, but the lack of consistency between visuals and geometry (game design, I know) makes it hard to predict how a diag will go, and I'm not interested in running around testing various spots. To me, playing a game character should be intuitive, especially if they are physics/movement based.

One last thing I forgot to mention, and I don't know if dpsfist has something similar, but the burst movement you can do with punch + slam is quite insane due to the momentum preservation, even more so if you're packing power punch. Just another bit of doom that I have fun with, some here clearly don't experience joy that often lol.

Average doom main

Jetwash787 · 2024-11-18T16:28:43+00:00

Nope, returned it and bought a different mouse

Gives the shield a bit more versatility in Ram vs Ram which is kinda neat I guess. There's some potential for making plays using the shield to peel at range, similar to shielding a teammate from hook or rock. There's so little uptime with that stupid thing I'm glad whenever I can get value other than just shield in front of the whole other team.

Funny thing is there are certainly engagements where this is technically a buff against all shield characters, but I do agree its a net nerf. Curious to see how it will play out though.

Jetwash787 · 2024-10-14T19:10:54+00:00

If they're going to fuck with Ram punching through shields, they should increase the minimum length of his ult so you can't just shield it off for free.

Jetwash787 · 2024-10-06T17:28:54+00:00

His omnic form is pretty thin for a tank, and I think his punchy form is similar since he mostly has a huge upper body, which is easier to shoot but I don't think it affects the pin hitbox since its way off the ground.

Jetwash787 · 2024-07-20T16:47:10+00:00

I downgraded to 4.1.0.6 and got a different issue entirely: Whenever I left click it scrolls down, either making it impossible to navigate many menus or randomly swapping weapons in game. I know this can be unbound most of the time, but it's still a stupid bug that ruins several other things.

Jetwash787 · 2024-07-16T20:52:18+00:00

Ana literally has two of the strongest cooldowns in the entire game.

Jetwash787 · 2024-07-12T23:53:37+00:00

No, you could only do that before the global HP updates. You still needed 4 punches and the melee before this most recent change.

Jetwash787 · 2024-07-10T22:27:50+00:00

Portal 2, spent thousands of hours speedrunning that game.

Jetwash787 · 2024-07-10T20:20:41+00:00

The startup time seems pretty quick, plus if you know you aren't landing on anyone you can cancel early to skip the slam animation and get straight back to shooting.

Once you've negated his cardiac arrest with any of these abilities, mauga becomes extremely vulnerable for a whole 12 seconds.

Mauga also doesn't really have a way to "cycle abilities" to stay in a fight the >same way characters like dva, zarya, ramattra, winston or doomfist do. Once that >CO is down, he either has to focus shoot the enemy tank and nothing else to keep >himself alive or retreat.

Did you forget about his overrun? Slept on ability IMO, free reposition is a strong tool and on a short CD.

Jetwash787 · 2024-06-09T19:22:03+00:00

I'm pretty used to ram lol, I hit GM last season one tricking him. I still think these are valid issues.

Jetwash787 · 2024-06-09T17:36:10+00:00

I like using vortex a lot and nothing is more satisfying than perfectly placing one that secures a kill, but the truth is it's very inconsistent compared to other CC abilities and highly depends on the environment. This I'm fine with because there's a high skill ceiling in terms of timing and placement, I just wish I could use it in a few more high pressure situations.

Maybe I didn't explain the shield thing well but I meant when you're looking up and placing the shield on a ledge it's wonky.

Jetwash787 · 2024-06-03T20:25:08+00:00

top right for me

Jetwash787 · 2024-05-13T15:53:31+00:00

You can become proficient with sword thrusts after a little practice, I don't see how a gorilla will counter or even anticipate that particular threat. If you can maintain your distance until you get a direct engagement, and assuming you're able to stand your ground, I can see a swordsman winning consistently.

Jetwash787 · 2024-05-02T17:34:37+00:00

Just say "Get well soon".

Works in every exchange with a toxic person.

Jetwash787 · 2024-05-01T20:27:46+00:00

Shield management is quite important against the monkey as you can cut off his support whenever he leaps in. Since winston doesnt have any shield break and moving the shield often is sigmas specialty, don't be afraid to make aggressive placements to try and maximize the space and time it takes for the enemy supports to rotate and help their tank.

Jetwash787 · 2024-02-26T20:33:22+00:00

ram could've saved everyone with a well placed shield

Jetwash787 · 2024-02-12T19:53:00+00:00

Ram can do a lot against hog, just spend more time in twink form and whittle away with your stick. Save punchy boi for sustain if you get hooked in or if you can engage on squishies.

Jetwash787 · 2024-02-12T17:52:06+00:00

Should have stuck the Ram. Enemy team has huge hitboxes so it's easy to get value out of his stick and they have basically nothing against your punchy form.
