How To Play Doomfist (Abilities Explained / How To Get Value / Tips&Tricks / & More) 06/26/2024 👍

*Open Me For Latest Info (Guide Is Still Valid As Of: 06/26/2024)* Guide is still valid aside from a few numbers being changed. He is still played the same. Focus on building empowered punch and going for kills and have 1 ability to escape with at all times. Don't forget to open the description of the video and read it all.

(or 125 raw damage) *Random Tip #1:* B/c dooms punch can stun enemies, it is recommend to cancel ultimates / abilities like Reaper Ult, Pharah Ult, Sigma Rock, Hog Hook, Cassidy Highnoon, Moira Ult, Rein Ult, and Lucio Ult etc... *Random Tip #2:* If you ever want to punch deep into the enemy backline make sure you have Slam/Ult to escape with. It is important when you are punching in that you have at least some cover to hide behind to reduce the incoming damage but also very important that you have slam or ult to get out with. *Random Tip #3:* Baiting CC Abilities kzbin.info/www/bejne/injWgoRphLSNisk *Random Tip #4:* Primary Fire Tip: kzbin.info2BqupL6vCsY *Doomfist Powerblock:* You have to mitigate 100 damage (125 raw damage) to get Empowered Punch - If you look down while powerblocking you will expose your head hitbox more which makes you take more damage and more damage = faster empowered punch build up - If you look slightly up while powerblocking you will block your head hitbox to take in less damage

Are these season 2 doom numbers? it hasnt been that long so im just curious

[@saswag2004]

[@Gamer_Luna]

Thanks for Guide Honestly its still gonna be stressful for The lower Doom Mains cuz Any game i get into and Pick Doomfist for tank I instantly! get shit talked for Ohh god hes playing doom hes throwing everyone lets shit talk him etc. Granted I Do report them espically with VC being recorded now but Still its something that really gets annoying and I easily Get triggered when someone whines or crys about it. So anytime I Run into someone who crys I Say Oh well cry more Blame Blizzard for the Crap change lmao. and I just 1 trick doomfist and we lose Mostly Because the teammates of mine are To Focused on Raging or Crying im playing doom when there own Gameplay is the reason we lose Because i mostly do almost all of this from watching Quakes Vods and stuff And slowly Changed my Dooming was from the OG Old OW1 DPS Doom To Tanky Doom but even then still is a struggle but this video makes it alot more easier. Thanks man. (Quaked If its possible Try to talk to blizzard convince them to make doom a Dps again but keep these abilities and up the damage I know 100% hed be so GOOD ;) ) Heres hoping worth a try? lol

I love how Zaria was left in an absolutely broken state for like a full month and a half, but doomfist was left in a slightly powerful state for a week before they nerfed him back into oblivion

yeah i realized how much i fed trying to play as dps

[@hakzource8660]

Personally I had no difficulty because I’m mostly a tank support flex, so i guess it just comes down to play style changes

[@in_vas_por8810]

I never played Doom in OW 1, but it seems to me that hes better as a tank. He still beats the piss out of people and lives a lot longer. I guess old doom was just 1 shotting like 85% of the cast? To me he feels like a DPS tank or somewhere in the middle.

[@shinqqing5161]

@@in_vas_por8810 You don't understand.. There's just a certain thrill you'll get when killing opponents in a really unexpected way. It's the kind of thrill where you know you pissed off or at least annoys your opponent but they're helpless against it. In ow1 I can really feel it when playing balls(especially when double boops is really a thing) and doomfist (by using rollouts to suddenly shows up from god knows where and giving my opponent a sudden death). There's also the bonus of it being really cool for clips and at the same time seems cheap enough that it will piss my opponents even more when they see the highlight.

[@in_vas_por8810]

@@shinqqing5161 Lol I understand completely bro... You like to style on people and delete them in a way that boggles their mind. You want them to feel helpless and afraid. I am that kind of player too, in many games, but from what I hear, OW 1 was extremely broken. They are trying to make the game more balanced and I feel like Doomfist can still style on people. I mean just watch Quaked. It's more of a chess game now and I'm loving Doom because I can do the tech that he still has left.

[@harrylowe-sanderson3591]

I can probably speak for most of the doomfist community when I say this but thankyou, thank you for your hard work with the content creation and creating such entertaining, educational, well edited videos, you are an inspiration to alot of people especially for how good you are at doomfist.

Very solid and informative video. Lots of good info about game sense and the mentality of this Hero. I have been stuck in the mentality of DPS Doom with quick picks and ditching but this opened my eyes to the true nature of control Doom.

[@GetQuakedOn]

great to hear :)

[@nobleberg]

This is so enormously helpful for understanding the game sense that seems so obvious to some of the higher level players making guides, it is so much easier to understand when broken down like this.

This is probably the best guide for a single hero I've seen in all of Overwatch history, thank you! The thought excercises and trying to think of what you're going to do next genuinely help improve understanding instead of just a quick ability rundown. Keep on quaking!

[@DarthLeopard]

I second this sentiment. I've recently gotten into Overwatch and have been wanting to learn how to position, make plays, create space etc (not even specific to any hero) and this was by far the most informative video I've come across. A lot of guides just say "do this" but don't say why. This video was super helpful.

[@JasonRamejkis]

Your detailed reviews on the clips make it alot easier to understand your mindset in certain situations that we all experience. Thank you for equipping us with the knowledge needed to practice it in theory and become the best version of doom possible 10/10 review P.S thanks for doing it before the other 2 :)

[@Reager]

Don't even play Doomfist competitively but your well made videos make me feel better. Play him mostly for fun in QP but thank you for making this

[@StatusSilver]

This is the guide I've been waiting for! Thanks!

EXTREMELY well put together video. Very educational for Doom of course, but also understanding other facets of the game in general. MUCH LOVE FOR THE BOY QUAKED

I've always lowkey wanted to get good at playing Doomfist. Thanks for the guide!

[@samsbookbook3425]

For me this is so fascinating, when a TOP X Player explains whats going on in their mind. This is insane mastering every situation differently. This is a TOP500 Educational Video, very very good job man. I dont even play doom but was so attached to the video and your explainings

[@odukomaster5473]

An amazing guide. Very well done. As a fellow doomfist enjoyer I must say you're quite possibly one of the best I have ever seen. I will miss the glory days of DPSfist, but now that Tankfist has been buffed up, I think I'll find a decent amount of enjoyment in him as well.

[@Peyton-vl7fr]

Wanted to learn how to play doomfist and found the perfect video. This was amazing and extremely helpful. The dude made a 40 min video and I know much time that takes. This video deserves way more likes. Thank you!

This will greatly help me in quick play and competitive battles as the legendary Doomfist all the way. Thank you so very much for this guide! I really love how you explain how to gain value out of the hero. This fleshes out the hero (or villain in some eyes).

[@bswmagicgaming5621]

Thanks Quake, i just started learning doom a few months before ow2 dropped and I had been having trouble adjusting to his tank playstyle. You delivered the info in a very digestavlie and easy to understand way with clear examples. Hyped to start implementing this stuff and improving my doom

[@acrobatmapping]

It seems like one of your themes is to 180 seismic slam them as an engage because then when you punch you're automatically going to push them into your own team.

[@Auxcell_]

I was wondering why I'm not gaining enough dps value with Doomfist but when you gave a tip to do primary fire with before using abilities was a game changer with the other tips. Doom became more fun with just a bit more change, I was more aggressive and gave my team more space to play and pick. Thank you Quake.

I figured a lot of this out by just watching you play doom. I really love your content and your one of if not my favorite overwatch content creators! Keep it up!!!!

[@-vlexwinenko-1131]

I think there should be also some tips, like always try to use ur melees when slammed an enemy, cause it's free 30 DMG, and it can be very useful if u ran out or primary fire, also his punch stops lots of ults or abilities, like, it stops cassidy, reaper, Moira ults, stops DVAs rockets ability. If timed well, it can stop lucio, Reinhardt's ults, which are literally game changing ults. These are small tips, but as You say, all small things in doomfist can do big plays. I've played only 50 hours on doom, and all these tips i had to discover myself, even now i discover such "obvious" things as when doom in ult, he recharge abilities faster, i just though ult automatically recharge it. Anyway, Thanks GetQuakedOn for this vid, I've learned lots of things from it, hope to get better

[@matthenazgul5454]

This guide and zbra's have helped me a lot, thanks bro

[@AdrianGK47]

The most helpful tips for me that honestly made a huge difference for my games were: How empowered punch hit registration works compared to regular punch (I don't wiff my punch now when punching into multiple enemies) Being able to cancel seismic slam with other abilities to gain the max momentum. Litterally gave me the win on Eichenwalde with reaching the high ground and punching

[@MarcoDiSilvestre]

I would also say cancelling enemy ults is important to do as well. You can save many pushes by canceling a reaper/sigma/pharah/moira/cassidy/dva mech call in/rein/lucio ult

[@GetQuakedOn]

yep, very important to keep an eye on

When OW2 first dropped I began playing doomfist as a joke because of how bad he really was. I would get told to swap by my group and it was always a good laugh but I found that doom was one of the most fun tanks to play. I took a liking to his playstyle and started watching your content more. Gradually I began learning things like block tech etc. I even found some funny things you could do like on Nepal, you can slam in front of the horses on point and get sent directly up. Now it's season 2 and doom got the well deserved buff he needed. Thanks for the guide and the motivation to learn and improve on doomfist :) Edit: I commented this two months ago when I was low masters, and now I finally got GM1/rank 36. Thanks for your help
