To preface this I’m just going to say it straight up and thats that Doom doesn’t belong in a game like OW. A hero with a major cc ability on a short cooldown is extremely oppressive.

We see it in Doom mains gameplays and you might even notice it in your own Doom games. If the enemy team hasnt full countered you you often have no problem winning against the enemy team.

If hes not getting countered in the game, hes able to dive one hero while he has the health of a tank and kill that squishy and then get out alive. Then he can rince and repeat. If the enemy tank isn’t running Doom hes just stuck trying to poke for kills cuz he doesnt have the cc and mobility to focus kill one squishy, on top of that they cant get support from their team cuz theyre getting dived by a Doom. keep in mind that this is if the Doom **isn’t** getting countered in a game.

This is why I think his cc nerf was a good call. And that whenever Doom is balanced, hes also just too oppressive. Keep in mind I also main him and I see this firsthand. Yeah hes tough to play into certain comps cuz hes easily countered. But if he wasnt easily countered he would be way too OP. Even more oppressive than Orisa. Orisa is just more annoying cuz shes easier to gain value, but I still think her potential falls shorter than Dooms.

So I personally don’t think Doom belongs in this game. If they want a punching hero they should make it a dps who doesnt have cc, the punches just knock them back.
