This Doomfist Claimed To Play A Perfect Game... Were They Right? | Overwatch 2 Spectating

So honestly, as a gold player, most gold Dooms dont know the definition of backing the fuck up or taking cover so honestly I like this Dooms gameplay wish there were more Dooms like this.

He played not to die, so It’s meaningless. He doesn’t stall point as the tank, he allows the enemy team to walk free into his backline. The entirety of second point is proof, he avoided dying and gave away all the space for it. He could've fit four teamfights on second point, I don't recall them having more than one.

[@kossettereaditte7552]

@@ragingdemon1344 Still, aside from the defense where he was AFK the entire time (which is still less annoying than a tank Feeding to me as a support main) he was pretty good. His attack was also really good for gold, he understood when to go in and comeback for heals before jumping back in and he didn't just stand around and spam "I need healing" when he was low if there were no support he went to get health packs. He also didn't feed or jump in 1 V 5 and just block like he was trying to play Doomhardt or something. All in all despite not knowing how to play defense he is an amazing Doomfist for Gold and probably better than most tanks in general that I play with when I solo que who think they're indestructible.

[@acyned8079]

man awesome doom plays, you played like a boss

[@K_Nightshade]

We are proud of you brother, though one piece of advice from a diamond 5 Doom, stay with your team and little more. It’s good that you’re prowling around looking for targets to single out, but you’re still your team’s tank. What I personally like to do, is play as a dive deterrent. I slowly encroach on the front light, make space, occasionally get some free you charge with my slam and then punch out to keep them guessing. Once I see a sliver of opportunity, either in the form of one of my dps getting a pick or someone overextending, then I get start getting momentum. You are in gold, so your enemies won’t be as coordinated as those you’ll see when you climb, so being able to be patient and wait for opportunities to come to you is sometimes the best opportunity. Much like that play while capping the point. You’re bound to climb if you keep up what you’re doing. Oh, and one more thing. This might be a me exclusive thing, but I usually have match chat and sometimes team chat off. I don’t need the stress of getting flamed unless they’re going to talk about it like adults. Just a little something I’ve been doing since people are so quick to be toxic the second you make a mistake.

[@fawnleif]

Honestly you were playing really well and so was your team. I’ve had games where my dps have 47 elims, tank with 30 and we still lose. Sometimes it just comes down to ult usage and timing. People will hold ults for a long time until someone else ults and you get that classic domino effect. It happens in plat all the time but it’s better to use your ult and win the team fight than to never use it at all. That being said, in the metal ranks people will over ult and it gets really frustrating but it’s a chance you have to take. I think you and your team played your best and I feel like you can climb out of gold 4. As a plat support it’d be great to have you on my team!

Defense was a disaster. Provided little to no resistance on first point while the Dva ate up their backline. No peel, was just jumping to safety out of the play. Doom is TOUGH to play on defense and they seem pretty clueless with what to do.

[@vcp2077]

His doom was good, but.. it seems that the team wasn't in on the plan. I think this doom could have done so much better by just brawling hard and creating mini distractions, rather than emulating zbra

[@ToadimusPrime]

Yeah I noticed this like a few minutes in. The mechanics are there, but no team play. Way too selfish of a player.

[@GracideaJo]

I’m in metal ranks. Don’t judge lol but when there’s a good doom I pocket him with mercy since Ik I’ll be guaranteed 100% uptime of max air time. Love diving on a widow and flying back to my doom.

[@kevinkalani]

So based on his gameplay and being in Gold, what I really think is the issue is that he plays exactly the same against every comp and when they have more hard counters he can't outplay them. That's probably why he is stuck. If you insist on one-tricking you have to be able to get similar value against your counters as you do vs. Comps you do well against. Simply put he showed his best game and is pretending he plays like this every game and against his hard counters and is blaming others for being Gold.

[@ragingdemon1344]

Exactly. Besides, he didn’t actually do his job. Didn’t contest point, he'd rather run every opportunity to keep a high KD. He didn’t help his team. Good tanks know when to die and when to run away. He just ran away every single time, giving up space for free during defense. So yeah, I imagine how much he struggles against comps with hard counters and see exactly why he's Gold.

[@Lilian040210]

Nah, it's because he's playing deathmatch game with no thought of where the team is what's happening to them and the objective. You gotta help the teammates

[@HREros]

@@Lilian040210exactly like if I were the dva when he was defending I would destroy his backline

[@madtonesbr]

100%. he didn’t get hard countered here and still lost. Imagine they have Ana and Sombra.

[@ragingdemon1344]

I think he intended to have a high KAD to exactly say what he said. He gave away too much space just for the sake of not dying, which is something you also have to manage as a tank. Second point was almost a freebie for the enemy team because he wanted to keep his low death rate. They had more time to cap third and ended up taking the win because of it. He played with an objective in mind: show that he can do cool techs and get kills. He didn’t want the win, he wanted to get a game to complain about.

[@madtonesbr]

And if that was not his intent, that’s even worse, because he’s missing the point of basic tanking

[@Pinkish174]

He was so afraid to die and probably thinking “you can’t blame me I have less deaths I don’t feed” But during defense he is so afk and not doing anything, waiting the enemy to engage them and not doing his role

[@ROBBOBBYJUNIOR]

I'm happy to see that this streamer isnt very critical of the person, didn't criticize every little small mistake but instead saying that it happens and is normal. Also amazing feedback to the gameplay which actually teaches people instead of making them look horrible❤️❤️❤️

[@dustinbiester4401]

I saw a few instances where he made something simple into something complex. For instance, instead of just using his charged punch on the enemy team while they're coming through a corridor, he would slam to their flank and try to use the charged punch at the flank. Doom requires a lot of technical ability but sometimes the other team will allow you to get a lot of value by just playing very simply. Keep it simple when you can, get technical when you need to.

[@dash4800]

The problem with most doom players is they always have the mindset of "i'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing" but they are never thinking about what their team needs them to be doing. If you are all over the map and getting picks but your team is getting rolled by a rein with a mercy pocket on point then what you need to be doing is helping them. Obviously the people you are killing are not the ones carrying the enemy team, so picking them isnt that valuable. Its the same idea as the Sombra from that other vid who is killing the supps over and over but their team is losing the fights anyway. That means you need to help them. If your mindset is "im doing my job and everyone else needs to just do theirs", then you are going to lose more than you win. Your mindset should always be what does my team need from me in order to make it easier for them to play better. And for 95% of players the thing they need is for someone to take the aggro of the tank away from them so they can actually do something.

[@lizzfrmhon]

Absolutely and this is why he is gold

[@Lilian040210]

Yes, this is a team game, and you gotta know what everyone is doing and what's happening in the game. Cool picks while the whole team is dead aren't doing anything. Most flankers don't remember team or objective exists

[@Siks7Ate9]

Except if there are 4 people shooting 1 rein who is getting only mercy healing, you could really argue what is going on... Rein can only shield and not take dmg or do damage and take a ton of damage. Eventually, his resources (hp and shield) should run out.

[@dash4800]

@@Siks7Ate9 in reality thats not whats happening though. There is the rein with a mercy pocket, and probably one other player running around somewhere around point. So if your best player is out there killing their worst players over an over then what that leaves you is a massive disadvantage overall. Think about it. Its a Rein w shield on point. So hes charging at you everyone shoots for a second then hes on top of at least 1 of you, probably easily gets 1 kill, then puts a shield up and gets full healed by the mercy who you know will never get killed at this rank. Then he gets to do it again. All the while another dps is probably running around also doing a bit of damage. So you either stand and probably die to the unkillable (at this rank) combo, or you back up and give him more space to push. Its an HP battle and if the Rein happens to get a support with his charge then its an HP battle you are never going to win.

[@Siks7Ate9]

@dash4800 maybe not specifically in this game,but if there are 2 supports and 2 dps the person the rein gets ontop off should live long enough that rein will basically invest to many resources. But it's also just poor positioning from his teammates in general. I didn't pay particularly close attention to where the rein was going etc, but the fact that you have highgrounds and the rein is apparently just walking down mid and killing people is just horrible. In gold, everyone is shooting at a tank that's easy to hit or directly in front of them. I have had a game where I'm literally solo killing a window and an ana in their spawn on junkertown for 2 minutes straight as wrecking ball in plat1/diamond while on attack, and my teammates say gg ball is throwing. There was only 1 zarya, mercy and a cassidy left to kill as 4 teammates. Like what? How can you say your ball is throwing when you are losing a 4 v 3 against a zarya cassidy mercy while you are playing 2 hitscans, a baptiste and a mercy for 2 minutes. These sort of instances feel the same. Maybe not particularly in this game but yeah.

Emongg’s comment about learning something from a Gold player is why one-tricks should be feared and respected. If you’ve got the time to put into a character and truly learn everything that character has to offer, you’re a menace to society. It also goes to show that understanding movement, mechanics, etc, on a character can transcend rank.

[@romkin1197]

When Emongg was talking about how players on defense play more defensively and that players should be more aggressive as for the defense. I understood that so well. I was in a game as Orisa on a cart map, I was playing extremely aggressive and was basically spawn camping the enemy team consistently, of course my team really helped out with that as I was providing the room they needed to pop off well and the enemy team couldn't touch cart. Even when the enemy tank tried to counter swap me, it just didn't work out for them. That's how i think tanks should play, aggressive, open up space for the DPS to do their job and in turn the supports can do their job without worry.

[@ragingdemon1344]

@@romkin1197 I agree. But also the dps should help enable that space in the long run. As I finally have turned into a dps main (because the dps slot in my group finally opened) I keep thinking about the game as if I was the tank/support (the roles I was forced into). So I try to allow my tank to take space by creating distractions (I main Tracer mostly, but also play some Echo and Ashe to be well rounded). What you describe is some synergy that is very rare with the whole knowing the mission and going for it. I've had those kind of games and it's so satisfactory to have a team like that. Recently I had a game where the enemy team flamed our supports for having total 20k less heals then them (we won). But guess what, our supports didn’t need to heal that much because our tank didn’t have to worry about five people shooting at them all at once. Their supports had to worry about the flanking Ashe, the flying Junkrat and off-angling Kiriko.

[@romkin1197]

@@ragingdemon1344 When it comes to DPS, it boils down to which you're playing. If you're a DPS is to flank, yeah being that distraction can help alleviate pressure, but it also depends where you're fighting the enemy team too. But if you're something that can't really flank say Bastion for example, if you're able to get kills for free, then the Tank is doing their job. Of course there is a lot of factors to consider and I'm just a newb that just plays for fun.

@@epiczerozz3003 Honeslty.... Don’t. He allowed the enemy team to engage on his tankless team way too many times and played very passively in order to get an ego vod out of it.

[@yairsense]

I feel like a huge problem was that he was too focused on getting kills and plays rather then stopping the enemy team from completing the objective, he was barely on point the entire match, and while it isn't necessary the doom's job to push or cap even when he could've contested he went for a kill rather than stopping the enemy team. Not to mention he barely protected and stayed with his team, half the game he is on his own adventure of hunting down the pharah or mercy and while that is important, while he does that the Dva is massacring his dps and healers. there were a lot of moments where he just left mid figjt because he was starting to reach half health, leaving his team to die.

[@janus2773]

i might be wrong on this but i feel like this doom gives up so much free damage because they cancel the slam with the punch all the time. if they just waited a tenth of a second longer they'd get the slam on top. is there any advantage to doing it that way?

[@Team98]

He does address this in the video. It's so the doom can get a better punch angle and do stuff like push enemies into the team. I noticed that too. Honestly amazing on dooms part cos I would never think about cancelling slam but yeah pushing enemy into team is gonna be better on average than that little bit of extra slam damage.

Lol, that reminds me of when I draw in a gold 5 game. I was playing doom, and my Lucio said to swap to Reinhardt because they had an Orisa. I was cooking the whole game, literally had 40 kills and they told my ass to swap off because orisa counters doom. The whole team gave up during ot as I was trying my best to win.

[@ToadimusPrime]

Okay, just 5 minutes in, I noticed some things here. As a support main in diamond, I can tell you this guy is waaaay too selfish and doesn't play with his team. His mechanics are good, and he knows which targets to engage and when. But he never plays with his team. He goes in solo and doesn't care what happens to his supports and team. I know that Doom is meant to engage and assassinate, but at some point you gotta play the objective and peel for your team, especially with Doom, a hero who can reposition so well and punish those who bully his supports and some DPS. So ye, my verdict is selfishness.

[@group555_]

this is what I was thinking. going in solo as doom is fine cause he can get out and it's pressure. but you need a balance where you also help your team so they can do their job too. of course your team is going to play worse when they don't get any help from you

[@kingvalor8265]

I struggle with this issue also and he is really trying to help the team by engaging on low hp targets at the cost of maybe their tank doing the same. I’m a support main too and I love the way he plays. Allows us to frag a lot more and show mechanics as well. Similar to the way ball plays

[@ToadimusPrime]

@@kingvalor8265 And that's sometimes fine, depending on the team comp. If your supports are Zenyata and Mercy, you shouldn't really do this.

This guy had to literally land in front of the enemy to get any of them to look at him.

[@TopoSalsero]

i think swapping as dps or supp is much more important than tank, im sorta new to the game and just got to plat on all my roles (recently dropped tank to gold as I dont play the role much and was focused on getting the other two there), yet still amuses me how some people can have 500-800 hours to the game and not understand, if something isnt working, maybe try switching, sure maybe no one is playing correctly, but dang, imagine your team is just running in on defense all the time, maybe a lucio with speed boost could be the pick, also the doom is good but fk him, hate one tricks :l, swapping is a core mechanic of the game for a reason.

look at where his team is every now and then, either to get support when you need it or to help them if they went to go flank or dive or smth. dont just straight up ignores meis cooldowns, learn slam / punch cancel. Get used to keep a movement ability, you use all your abilities so often if they had a sleep hook hack or anything really youd just die every fight. just bc your team doesnt respect your space and you get away with plays like these every now and then that doesnt mean that its gonna be anywhere near that only one rank up. You gotta get used to looking for cooldown usage before you engage. keep improving and look at your own gameplay crittically and youll get better!

[@kingvalor8265]

He is really good. His team and supports will be able to frag when he ranks up except for the occasional mercy and lifeweaver one tricks that likely hate him. Similar play style to ball. Gotta baby your team in gold I suppose though they don’t know any better

[@0uas]

Yo I understand that. People always talking about it is the tanks fault, meaning me sometimes and I'm like "this is a team sport."

[@armoredbear184]

Doomfist is a selfish aggressive tank . it isn't a bad thing but it requires a completely different mindset from almost every other tank in the game because your teammates are typically used to a tank they can hide behind.

[@joesusin8935]

This doom lost because he did not understand where the pressure was on his team. Usually the good plays you get as doom are because your team is taking more pressure than you are which gives you an opening. This was happening for the entirety of this game. The problem was that he as one person was not able to apply more pressure than the enemy was applying on his team. Sure he messed up mechanically sometimes but it didnt matter that much, what mattered was he was not in the enemy’s way enough.

[@daddydrip304]

Every time I play doom it feels like they all hard focus me to make sure I can’t even play

[@CanadianCat101]

I think it was less the case he was "master level gameplay" more of that the other team wasn't that good at all, people sometimes make that mistake where u roll people and think "yeah im so good!" But its just that they are not playing 100%, and then they lose next game and blame their teammates

[@Kro_NHL]

I love playing against dooms, I’m a Ana main and they get so tilted and the other team starts getting mad at them and it’s just free

[@TiakOSRS]

7:27 I might be crazy, but he tracks that Bastion through the wall a bit too well..

[@darkestbefore]

I feel like some people don't understand that there are tanks that don't just sit in front of the other tank

[@elorahendrix9611]

I knew that orisa would be back in meta after the patch they gave her spear headshot ability. It wasn’t that ability that made me think she would be meta, it was the fact I knew they would keep buffing her after that. Also I hate that it does that, like it already stuns most alts and is impossible to miss, wtf does it need headshot damage

[@EdwardGordington]

7:28 so we just going to ignore that this guy is looking at the enemy bastion through the wall????????????????

[@SmugPrik]

He saw them enter and is just predicting where they'll be based on walk speed.

[@EdwardGordington]

@@SmugPrik ......yeah okay just like everyone does.... naturally youd just aim your retical where they are going to pop out not fake trace them through the wall beo NO ONE DOES THAT LOL.

[@SmugPrik]

@EdwardGordington What's more likely? He's simply predicting the enemy's movements, or he's wall hacking... on console... as a doomfist... and then recorded it to be vod reviewed.

[@EdwardGordington]

@@SmugPrik go watch 100 other vod reviews ans see how often people trace people through walls it doesn't happen its natural when you think somones about to pop out the other end of something you aim at where they are going to appear not ping them dead on through the wall you're actually dence as fk if you think this is normal. So to answer ur question yes i think the latter is more likely by a large margin, you act like console is harder to hack on or something and thats just total bs because it's twice as easy!!!!

[@dustinbiester4401]

If he was wall hacking he would've very clearly seen that Mei standing by spawn waiting to put a wall up at the beginning of the video and not wasted both of his movement cooldowns. He also would've seen that Dva fly to high ground on 3rd point when he left that area after waiting there to protect his low-health Bastion for 10+ seconds.

[@igeomagician]

I know nothing about masters, but dude definitely deserves higher than gold

[@inkromancer_studios]

He's not playing tank doom, he's playing dps doom...He's never with his team, frequently leaves them to die, and goes on wild flanks while the rest of the team gets picked off one by one. If the only think you're contributing to a team as a tank is a kill count you're not contributing much at all. Youre better off being a Venture OTP and letting someone else protect your team...

[@djlemon40]

Lucio died to many times trying to help the doom. And was seemingly the first to die most team fight losses.

[@NoBotOW]

He didnt die once on attack. Really good stuff

[@iTzvLxneYT]

i think i played against him before as doom and made his team leave. i swear that was him i played on kings row a couple weeks ago.

[@AntivenomOW]

I was not expecting the gold doom on console to exactly have a good sensitivity 👍

[@TheRivalVerse2]

nobody gonna talk about the crosshair at 7:26 ish? he placed their crosshair right on bastion thru da wall twice

[@SurfNturfz]

I'm trying to catch up on all the changes since OW1... 50 new maps & I remember doomfist being sh*t, now he's wrecking at least 1 or 2 out of every 5 of my games 😂 I miss the Mei stun 😭

[@cmmcfielful]

Im also gold 4 and i play diva and doom mostly but flex the others ofcourse as every other tank player. But i definitely think he got some skills on doom but the flashiness of each play in my opinion sold him. Your trying to play like zbra and getquakedon in gold bruv. These guys dont require all that to be survivable and get the job done. Keep up on your skills but keep it simple at the same time.

[@seanpowers1899]

This guy was trying SO HARD to punch people out of the air. Granted, it is definitely not easy to do, and you have to practice somewhere, but going to plays like that when the enemy tank is running amok is not always great lol

[@Kallelinski]

Personally I'd rather have a Doom in my enemy team than in my own, it's way easier to deal with him, otherwise all my team does is figuring out how to play with just 4, while Doom is doing his own things somewhere else.

[@AaronWOfficial]

I feel like he was going too much for that ego kill on the pharah at the start on defense and it cost him a lot of other opportunities for playmaking he could have gotten better value from. Also his lucio fed his brains out on defense, so I can't blame him for putting some blame on his team.

[@monkey7255]

Diamond 5 console here and his Doom is considerably better than mine.

[@FallenQueenOfCrows]

honestly I feel they could climb and the only reason they may not be is because they ego, a lot of that first round seemed to be just their opponents are bad so they capped point

[@tabunga4669]

Instead of always being on the blue side of the team. I'd like to be on red like you see here

[@starboyaddy4494]

He did good for his rank i dont wanna b negative cause he was poppin his shi but as a hardcore doom main thats made it to a high elo he made so many mistakes where he could have been punished

[@MrTotoleouf]

It's a team diff, sometimes we need to accept that we can't win every single game.

[@trollduspat9034]

i hate counterswapping yes i peaked top 500 but this was 5 years ago rn i came back to the game after 2 years not playing so im gold but my mates still dont swap of zarya when they have mauga bastion ( i myself do counterswap bc i know how to play the game) but both heals feeding the tank just for him to die bc they didnt counterswap just isnt fun

[@wicked5999]

Hard to swallow pills for low elo players: If your win-rate is around 50% you are where you belong You could always have played better Being toxic does not make your team play better If you think your team is always bad, that is a self roast The enemy team does not always have a smurf You remember bad games way more easily than good games Individual games may not be "your fault", but not climbing is You do not know better than your team mates

[@seal869]

The “pace of your team” thing is a lot like counter swapping. The tank is expected to make the adjustment but dps never will. I’m a doom/ball main and I’ve never had a tracer complain about my play. Meanwhile some dumb bastion who likes to sit on point and go brrr is like “dude what you doin?” But he’s not playing with the tank!

[@thedude0000]

90% of all doom players think they play a perfect match...

[@calamityjones8701]

Give this guy Diamond

[@L.Reeves]

Masters or even Gm on attack. Silver/bronze on defense. Apparently that averages out to gold 4

[@moonyeast]

what the frickle was i supposed to do.
