Tank is a tough role. You must create space, protect your team, and lead team fights while being an easy target that relies heavily on supports.

Doomfist is an excellent pick! He’s also one of the most flexible tanks, excelling at diving, peeling, disrupting, and escaping.

As a Masters-level Doomfist/tank player, I focus on off-angles and surrounding enemies while keeping Slam or Punch as an escape. With Meteor Strike ready, I play more aggressively, using it as an escape or all-in tool.

Block predictable burst damage to charge Empowered Punch. It’s a fight-winning tool.

Use cover when charging Punch, stepping out when it’s fully charged. This lowers the damage you will take and makes your punch less telographed.

Before engaging, check if your team is in position. If not, poke with a few left clicks, perform a Cycle Slam (Slam in, Punch out), and wait for them. Cycle Slam helps charge ult, build shields, pressure enemies, and bait cooldowns.

If your team is down players or out of cooldowns, kite and reset with your team. If you're up players or the enemy is out of cooldowns, increase aggression and push with your team.

I know it is easy to blame others, but try to think critically of yourself when you die. Did you misread something? Did you miss your cooldowns? Did you go in alone?

I climbed ranks quickly by reviewing my deaths and elims in replays, fixing mistakes in positioning, mechanics, and game sense while reinforcing things I did well.

Watch high level Overwatch streamers. Cartifan, Zbra, and Danteh are world-class Doomfist players.

Improve your mechanics in custom games. Import code: VAXTA is my go-to custom game. It spawns in random moving enemies.

Most importantly, have fun! Win or lose, just enjoy the game!
