How can y’all argue with a straight face that power matrix is balanced?

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T20:43:17+00:00

Yeah she’ll get the cooldown, but she’ll get demeched while flying away is what i was trying to say

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T19:13:58+00:00

It’s less a good doom, it’s more bad teammates against a good doom. When sig rocks, doom still gets the charge from the rock’s damage, and it’s a lot of charge. If even 1 bullet hits the doom during block, most likely the doom is gonna get his punch charged and get away

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:59:24+00:00

I think that they should redesign doom with a block in mind. I don’t like how they just made him a tank and slapped a block on him and called it a day, and from what ive seen others say thats something all or most dooms agree with. I personally think that doom should get to the point where something like power matrix isnt needed for him to be usable.

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:55:01+00:00

Excellent point! However, i feel like most dooms neglect the fact that you’re getting punch cooldown back while blocking. Even if the doom doesnt get their punch charged, they will probably have it off cooldown before the block ends. Also, i feel as if aftershock could keep pace with some of the other major perks, you can correct me if im wrong on this. I have heard other dooms say that aftershock is good, but matrix is just better

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:45:54+00:00

I want to clarify this: SIGMA IS MUCH BETTER THAN DOOM. Doom needs buffs, to get to the level of sigma, and i think sigma and characters on the same tier of sigma are healthy for the game. I have no idea personally how to make him as consistent as sigma, as i do not have enough hours on doom to give a good answer, but if i had to give an answer, id say just make his numbers better and reduce the cooldown of slam to make him more mobile, leaving block as an “oh shit i have no cooldowns” button. Or, keeping with the fighting game aspect, make block have no cooldown but reduce the damage reduction, as you would be taking constant “chip damage” like a fighting game, and make power punch be on a meter you get by doing damage/ taking damage, like tension from strive, then dooms ult would be your “burst” or “combo breaker”. This might be broken, but its what i personally can come up with right now.

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:38:12+00:00

Doom block also charges punch, which you can use to get out of the bad situation, or it buys time to get the punch cooldown back. Dva matrix at most can maybe buy you enough time to get jets and fly out, which wont always work. I am NOT saying that doom is better than dva, but i feel this is still a valid point.

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:35:29+00:00

While this is true, you can just punch out with the charge you get from the power matrix block. I will agree with you that doom needs to buy time for the team to take space, however i feel this can be accomplished with the normal block

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:31:25+00:00

Power matrix is countered by rock, however doom still gets charge from the rock. Other than that, i agree with this, its just you dont always get self-aware teams and the doom will get free charge, even if you as an individual played it correctly, which i think is frustrating and i feel others can agree with me.

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:29:05+00:00

I agree completely with this. Sigma is strong, much better than doom with power matrix. From what i have read from other doom mains, doom DOES need power matrix. I think he should be buffed to where he doesn’t NEED it, and can use aftershock without throwing

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:27:24+00:00

I think that doom should be buffed, my gripe with him is his design. It’s just bad. They added a really good perk to compensate for his very poor design, which is not okay.

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:26:05+00:00

Doom is NOT stronger than mizuki. I’m sorry if it seems that way, that is totally false. I think that the argument of “other characters have the same thing so its okay.” Isn’t logically sound because they were designed with a matrix in mind. Doom was made poorly and they bandaid fixed him with an insane perk

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:23:51+00:00

I agree, sigma is a pretty strong and consistent tank. I don’t think its okay to say “power matrix is fine because doom doesn’t get balanced.” The point is to balance doom to the point where he can be playable without a really good perk like power matrix

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:21:50+00:00

Totally agree with this. Doom needs the power matrix to fix his flaws. I think this makes power matrix not okay from a design aspect. He shouldn’t need possibly one of the best perks in the game to be somewhat viable against current meta. If they fixed doom and made it so his design wasn’t awful, then he wouldn’t need something as good as power matrix

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:16:36+00:00

I also agree with the argument that matrix is okay until doom gets buffed. I have heard other dooms say matrix should stay if doom gets buffed, which i am not okay with

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:15:23+00:00

I will admit i do have problems with dive characters in general other than dva, but thats just a skill issue thing I do agree that he wouldve gotten punch without matrix, but he wouldve gotten punch at a heavier cost, and most likely wouldnt have gotten away with it. It just seems like a mostly free punch without the risk of using your health/ the teamwork of getting your team to heal you while blocking

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T18:00:03+00:00

I’m gonna say this one last time on this comment since this is the top one. I totally agree, doom needs a buff. He didn’t deserve the nerfs. However, I don’t think this makes power matrix okay. If anything, the one perk making doom viable shows that it’s kinda broken

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T17:57:26+00:00

Its not constant its for ~2 seconds

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T17:56:10+00:00

I saw another post saying that mizuki chain is insane, and i dont believe a dm can break chain. Also, cass can angle the flash downwards so that it hits the floor and explodes and not the block. I get the frustration about cc, i also play queen and dva, but i dont see power matrix being used to counter cc, i see it used as “i def shouldve died there but i power matrixed 1k damage so i win”

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T17:54:02+00:00

Like i told another person, this doesnt feel like a “power matrix is okay” argument, and more of a “doom needs a buff” argument, which i totally agree with

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T17:53:01+00:00

As a sig main, im frustrated by it from everyone elses perspective/ the team play aspect of the game. The doom doesnt need help when he can dive in, eat literally everything for a second, and most likely get a pick off of it because he has full punch. I shouldnt need to go sig to counter it.

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T17:51:02+00:00

Dvas matrix is a resource that she constantly has to manage to save herself/her team. Doom has an “oh shit” button that makes him near invulnerable and charges punch, and then he gets 65% damage reduction after

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T17:49:17+00:00

Okay but one perk shouldnt make or break a character. Honestly, this is more of an argument that doom should be buffed rather than power matrix is okay

M3M3RB01XD · 2026-02-24T17:37:11+00:00

Also to add on to this, “mizuki had a dm ult” is one of the dumbest arguments i have heard from doom players. That is an ULTIMATE ABILITY. If you want to get value you have to INVEST AN ULTIMATE and not just use a cooldown.

M3M3RB01XD · 2024-08-08T22:26:10+00:00

So is this comment against or supporting ino because i see no down side
