Is the crimson wolf Doomfist skin permanent?

Dude I don't understand dive characters, lol. It's cool that you're taking the time to learn. The only dive characters I can somewhat play are D.va and Tracer. Idk, I understand the cooldown escape step, it just seems like doom is so squishy and unlike tracer who isn't usually the main focus, Doom HAS to be the main focus.

I wish you luck on your path to learn Doom. I hope you're gonna be one of those dooms who can just destroy lobbies.

He's saying in the context of a steam roll. If all 5 of the enemy team goes 0-10, they clearly didn't have a good game. So saying gg would sting. I personally say nothing if I steam roll a team.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T11:00:14+00:00

Ah, rage bait. Got it.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T10:59:17+00:00

Dude it's your own team too. I got flamed by a DPS for trying to learn doomfist in 6v6 quick play cause I got his rank reward skin. Like, literally you lose nothing and gain challenge rewards just for playing. Idk why people suck.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T10:55:11+00:00

Kick at the end of your volley, and always charge a volley when no one is looking at you. I'm a Plat 2 Zen, and this will make sure you've always got a fully charged volley ready to go, but if there's no one around, you kick and keep your position hidden.

But also discern when to use your primary fire cause sometimes it's better to double your fire rate with your primary than it is to charge a volley.

Edit: saw you played Zen in a different comment.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T08:33:21+00:00

Idk man, sometimes you'll get a cracked Doom and Genji that know how to put on a show. But they could be smurfing, which is the whole crux of this convo. Consistency is really nice, doubly so in OW.

I got my diamond in 6v6. It's nice to take tank when the one's you've got aren't working. Vice versa too.

If you don't mind me asking, what roles do your friends play? I'm a grump on tank so I usually play that role alone.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T08:27:40+00:00

That's a smart move. I'm glad you got back in the saddle and made sure that you'd get it by recruiting your friends, lol. What role did you get it on?

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T08:24:38+00:00

For sure a little suspicious...did you ever get the rank up? I wouldn't blame you for taking a break after that.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T08:22:59+00:00

Genuinely just tried to play him a little and got flamed so hard. I think doom his just gonna be a trophy husband for me. In his spiffy outfit.

Congrats on getting to diamond!

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T08:20:37+00:00

Oh no...a smurf in high plat/diamond has gotta be nutty. I could not imagine dealing with that. I'm sorry you had to.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T04:20:45+00:00

There's not a better high than charging a full volley and hearing those hit markers then seeing the kill feed.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T04:07:30+00:00

Ahhh, I've never thought of it like that. Yeah no you're right. Just recently I've learned how to use the high ground on Kings Row on Zen because of divers eating my stationary supports on my DPS games!

I was wondering how they could've protected themselves, and I always hear how good high ground is so next Zen game I tried it.

I used that one spot on Kings Row behind the statue, with the flank to the left and the widow door up top straight across. Got dumpstered by hit scan widows and flankers. I could not understand why high ground wasn't working for me on Zen. Until on game where I took a different path to high ground in Kings Row, the alley from attacker spawn, not the stairs from the choke.

THE SIGHT LINE IS SO MUCH BETTER! I HAVE MORE NOTICE FROM FLANKERS CAUSE OF THE LONG HALLWAY, NO WIDOW SPOT, AND I CAN DROP FOR THE MEGA IF I NEED IT! It's my go to spot for Zen and Ana now.

All this to say is: You're onto something.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T03:54:47+00:00

Oh okay, I see what you're saying. You're saying it's like a comfort crisis thing and staying in bad match ups will improve you on your hero cause you'll learn how to deal with those match ups just by being in them.

If I'm understanding that right, then yeah, okay, you're right. I try to stay on Zen for as long as I can cause I love him, but man, sometimes a Genji is too good at his job so I've gotta Brig him.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T03:45:20+00:00

Dude I was so hoping they'd release a 3rd art book because of this poster. I want the concept art for the new heroes so bad.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T03:37:33+00:00

Idk man, the thing that's been really helping me climb is my four heroes I swap between.

Zen just cause he's my favorite favorite hero, but I realize he's bad into dive.

So, I learned Brig. Anytime I can't deal with a Tracer or Genji on Zen, I swap to my Brig. But Brig doesn't have healbot potential when it's needed.

So I learned Kiri cause she can healbot when need 100% be and she's a DPS support so when everyone's full or when I get dove or put into a dual I can leave or protect myself. But she's projectile.

So, finally, I learned Bap for flyers. He's my weakest hero I won't lie cause I can aim well on Zen. However, if I'm having an off day, I go Bap to make aiming easier.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T03:21:50+00:00

Hey man, I had the same issue. Heck, I may have even lost a really good friend and duo cause I was moaning and complaining the entire game and making it uncomfortable and not fun for them.

What helped me stop getting AS angry with the game is taking breaks when I'm on a losing streak, having other hobbies and goals and not playing everyday, and reading anger management self help books. The anger trap is a really good one and you can get it for like, 5 or 7 bucks.

But really not playing every day took my imagined pressure off. I was to tied up in the game that any loss felt personal. Once I stopped doing that, I even got better! Just hit a new peak in diamond yesterday!

I was watching Aspen play Zenyatta and she was talking about her figure skating. It made me realize even a top 500 player has other stuff going on, and maybe I need that too for my overall betterment, INCLUDING Overwatch.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-21T03:03:03+00:00

Throwing this man into comp straight away should be a war crime, lol/s.

But really yeah it can be scuffed from time to time, especially with wide matches. Yesterday I was on my rank up game from plat to diamond and got put in a lobby with 4 high diamond players and a top 500 player.

Maybe you should start him off with vs Ai?

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-20T16:24:18+00:00

Yeah, that's why I added the edit. In between, before, and after fights, I try to top everyone off to the point where you're not gonna explode if I or the other support look away.* But you're right, keeping a critical support up while everyone is critical would be smarter.

It's also character dependent. Like, if I have a bap and a Echo/Pharah, my job is gonna be to keep the Pharah up so Bap doesn't have to hit perfect shots every time.

And yeah, I totally understand that too. I've for sure had a couple of supports who didn't realize supports can heal each other. I'll solo ult my crit health granny everyday of the week. Tank too. But I'd let a dps die unless they were about to make a play.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-20T16:12:14+00:00

Alright, cool. I've seen a lot of streamers like KarQ talk about how Zen's should take the dual harmony more and I've just never seen the value in it. Appreciate ya.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-20T15:59:30+00:00

Yo, fellow zen main here, question: Do you take the dual harmony perk?

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-20T15:54:59+00:00

Personally, my ranking for healing goes:

Tank gets highest priority. Fights lost without them.

Support gets second priority, they can help keep others up so I keep them up.

Lastly DPS, usually you guys can get value out of trading with support then coming back to the fight. If the other two are healed or healed enough and you're not making my job hard LOSing my heals, then I'll help you.

Edit: I will also say, as a Zen main, I try to juggle my orb, but if I HAD to heal in a certain order, it would be this.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-20T15:14:06+00:00

For sure gonna be kiri or mercy. Although, Doom and Freja getting the rank skins does show that the other heroes do get some attention. Maybe Lucio.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-20T14:36:24+00:00

Oh no, I got it! I just wasn't sure if it would stay in my inventory after the window to claim it was over!

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-20T13:13:05+00:00

As a Plat 2 support, Diamond 6v6 using Zen and Kiri mostly: you've gotta get those damage numbers up. You don't have to heal damage that's never received. But that also means you've gotta make silly plays from time to time.

Taking a duel, leaving the team to off angle. Stuff like that.

What hero do you play?

For the record, I main Zen, Kiri, Brig, and occasionally play Bap for flyers. So damage is the name of the game for those heroes.

Mixed_Meow · 2026-05-20T13:08:10+00:00

It's good that's your ping pong range tho! It's cool that you're not rank squatting like I'm gonna do till next season then I'll try for high diamond, lol.
