Looking for tips to countering Doomfist and Sombra as a support. I don’t see Doomfist often, but when I do, he dives on me a lot (Lucio/Zen).

Sombra just appears out of nowhere. I try to boop her as Lucio, but she already has me hacked and kills me. As Zen, I’m a sitting duck. I’ve tried Moira with hit or miss success.

Any tips?

    play widow, widow hard counters sombra :>

    (u have to be very close to team as widow so that u get stay safe, then u whip around and one shot the sombra before she can TP away. u can do this for any high dps hero, just stay close to team and make sure ur team is aware)

    Brig is a solid Doom counter. If your team can follow up, picking Brig will ensure Doom’s demise. Otherwise, you just give yourself a fighting chance. Brig is also a decent Sombra counter, not amazing, though.

    Ana technically can counter both, but without movement abilities, you can be a sitting duck.

    I assume you aren’t getting dived by Doom as Lucio because if you are, you’d have to be standing still, which should never be the case with Lucio. Lucio can be a good pick to ignore a Doom.

    Moira can kind of just ignore both Sombra and Doom.

    Kiriko is a solid Sombra counter and is good at evading and ignoring Doom.

    LW can ignore both long enough for your team to start thinking about if they give a f*ck about you. The answer is always no as a Support.

    Mercy can avoid Doom by staying up in the air with super jump and glide, but doesn’t counter either at all.

    Kiriko shits on sombra, it’s really easy to headshot in hack range + pick a support that can help your other support too no way she can kill you two of you stay close. If you want to kill the doom, Ana. If you want to annoy the shit out of doom, Lucio (boop him around and mess up his movements), kiriko (headshots and tp for safety) or lw (petal platform annoys the hell out of him lmao).

    Ok so as a doomfist main/onetrick 90% of the time. almost every support has at least one way of countering him so I’ll give u a run down.

    Ana- legit counters every tank so self explanatory just hit your sleeps and anti anytime he’s low

    Bap- can duel him pretty easily and if u are about to die just lamp first then use ur self heal once the lamp breaks to give you the most time ( this is mainly bc doom can stun you if you try to run or jump out)+ window turns him into butter

    Brig- she’s the anti dive support so proc inspire on him as soon as possible in an engagement with your flail and try and hit your bashes as he punches which will stun him like rein

    Lucio- kinda a hard matchup both ways just stay off the ground and don’t get too close not much you can do 1v1 but can be useful in saving teammates when they get dove just boop him when he goes for a punch and he will prolly miss+beat is super good just don’t get stunned.

    Kiri- I mean do I need to say more just don’t duel him it won’t work unless u hit almost every headshot.

    Lifeweaver- he’s weird but once u get used to positioning around doom it’s nearly impossible for him to kill you. Save you dash for the heal when u get dove and always keep your petal on cool down if he uses slam just go up and he can’t touch you

    Zen- kinda the weakest but also the strongest. You either have to hard focus the doom and do enough DMG before he gets close to stop him OR coordinate with your team to fry him with discord when he dives. A good zen wins against a doom Everytime but u are super super diveable so position smart.

    Mercy- stay off the ground. Gets used to waiting to use rez until immediately after he punches or he can stun it out. It’s also nearly impossible to kill an ulting mercy without charged punch and if u sit in the skybox ur probably chillin

    Moira- she’s probably the worst outta the bunch if the doom knows what he’s doing. Save fade for when you ult to dodge him stunning you out and otherwise just poke at him a lil bit don’t get too greedy or he will fuck u up

    Illari- lastly the new gal. She’s actually super good if you can keep your pylon up. Unless he has empowered punch its really hard to kill illari before she uses her movement ability and her DMG helps a lot when poking a doom before he pushes in. I would recommend not using ult on him solo since he can mostly negate it or just move away before it can be proccd to blow up BUT if he’s already at half it does slow him up a bit when it’s first applied so it can secure the kill

    I think I got everyone and gl out there overwatch addicts👍
