Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Looks like Doomfist will be added to Overwatch very soon, new teaser
- Thread starter benzopil
- Start date
That's a terrible way to approach balancing.
This should be a line he shouts every time he triggers overtime when standing on an objective.

If Doomfist real name (Akande Ogundimu) really is from Yaruba (Nigerian language), what is the chance that he was a Dambe fighter?
Orisa had a quick turnaround between her being teased & us getting Orisa's reveal trailer. Plus we usually get a character every 4 months, & it's been 4 months since Orisa came out.

If Doomfist isnt Terry 1 for 1 or a character of color then I might drop OW forever.
Priorities.
I hope they make him overpowered at first.
1) people will need to learn him to win
2) people will play him and break the dive meta
Ana was meh on PTR but really strong when they released her. After that they decided to release garbage characters and buff them if it's needed. So Sombra and Orisa didn't see any play whatsoever. And I don't think Orisa will in the future.
Has it been confirmed (or close on enough) that it will be Terry Crews? It seems like a bad idea to get someone that popular to voice a hero considering how often new voice lines are added.
Though the new voice lines from events are rarely related to the event themselves so maybe they just record a billion lines up front and slowly release them.

I feel like Orisa's not half bad if you're not leaping behind or running around a team like current team comps do. Shields are invalidated by dice comps.
Doomfist should have some kind of enemy manipulation like Orisa or Zarya's ult, so rush is mitigated a bit. More shields will not do it, and I don't see Doomfist not being a tank.

I hope DOOMFIST is the answer to the Dive Comp Meta Cancer.

Hope he's interesting since one of the only two characters I liked playing is useless since the last update.

I even think her moves are boring. She's a composite of other characters' defining traits - Reinhardt shields, Zarya's ult, Ana's ult, Bastion's turret primary fire. Her only unique trait is her gold shielding that makes me immobile and briefly lessens damage.

Doomfist will be tank and his ultimate will look something akin to this
Can't wait for it
Now more seriously, we got 3 different characters in different classes:
Sombra - Attack
Ana - Support
Orissa - Tank
Maybe Doomfist will be a Defense Hero, which is the only class missing a new character.

He's pretty much got to be a tank. I hope he's got some melee since his defining trait is a fist. And he's got to be not-squishy since he's the most prominent member of Talon. Someone who could lead Sombra and Widow and Reaper into the fray.
"Turret placement" doesn't scream Doomfist to me, but I'm a Symmetra main so w/e.

Back when they teased Doomfist a long time ago I was hoping he would be a boxer. This works. Dambe looks fucking intense.
Doomfist will play like a Reinhardt Winston hybrid.

Knowing Blizzard Doomfist will not be voiced by Terry Crews but he'll be dope anyway.

Voice lines are recorded well in advance because of availability (Matt Mercer said they recorded VA relevant to the Christmas stories just after the game came out) so...it could be Crews but could be someone else. He's been such a part of the fun though I think they'd like to get him involved in some capacity - he did for go a studio tour afterall.
Maybe a new announcer

After reading the article, it seems it is more about the company Helix and their security forces(or lack thereof) rather than Doomfist's story.
This quote in particular at the end...
makes it seem like the next hero will be funded by Helix Corp. I'm guessing it's either some guy/girl with a prototype Iron Man/Hulkbuster style suit or just another new Omnic.

I agree, I hate her design aswell. It's so bland and ugly. Looks like a bugs life character reject.

I might be wrong but that's more of a Hausa thing. Still very possible though. That said, wrestling is also a very real possibility.If Doomfist real name (Akande Ogundimu) really is from Yaruba (Nigerian language), what is the chance that he was a Dambe fighter?

I want doomfist to be like the most skill reliant hero, like even more so then genji a good Doomfist can destroy your entire world
Also even if Terry Crews doesn't voice him, Crews will probably be a previous doomfist or something

I guess if doomfist has a mega shove like you might expect, he's probably a tank. Crowd control and support/dps doesn't usually mix. Could be nice to have a shove that's more useful than just trying to knock people off ledges.
A punch based hero also seems likely his abilities wouldn't be DVa matrixed, Winston shielded, or Genji reflected away, who are all too strong at the moment.

He could be a tank filed under the defense category. Mei is kinda like that too. Maybe something like bastion's 200+100 HP but on a hero with survivable abilities.
The attack and defense classifications have always been especially meaningless.

The crash log for the current PTR used to say Summer Games/Doomfist till they changed it and there's new hero information in the data files. Sure we'll see something soon for both more than likely.
I hope they'll make him a tad overpowered at launch. They kind of ruined Orisa and Sombra by releasing them severely underpowered. At that point people stop putting time in these characters and they become useless in the minds of people. You don't see many people playing Orisa or Sombra at this point even though they have been buffed and can do some serious damage in the right hands. But not enough people know how to play them and noone wants either of these heroes on their team.
Lucio is going to bummed when he finds out about this.
It's not that I don't get what you want to say, but Pharah and Ana are egyptians, Symmetra and Lucio have dark skin and Orisa was built by a black african child.
Brazilian =/= black

Your nationality does not dictate your skin color.
