[@gerronuma7860]

I can't exactly fault this guy for playing Doomfist like he does because I am absolute hot garbage at him, but this is also a prime example as to why I get really nervous when my tank insta-locks Doom, cause then I have to try to heal his ass while he's flailing behind all the walls.

[@goprodog4304]

Good dooms go for health packs a lot. It's much better to heal the team than trying to heal the tank if the latter takes more time/involves being exposed to enemy fire. If your doom needs constant healing at risky places, he's not doing it well imo.

[@sethescope]

@@goprodog4304 good doomfishes also save a mobility cooldown to get out and get back to their supports and to cover! you would not BELIEVE the level of happiness I feel when I realize my doomfish is doing that 😅 I also have learned I need to give doom the opportunity to come back to me instead of risking myself lol it's hard to do when many dooms won't, but a lot do AND if they don't, that's not my problem. I need to stay safe and if it continues to be a problem, I can also swap to someone who can heal them from safety or I can just let them feed when I don't feel like swapping because I'm a filthy mercy one trick

[@ducasse8473]

i always hear this take from support players, fact is. your doom/ball/dva diving in and instantly dying thus wasting your time is not much different than a rein or ram soaking up all your healing because they cant use cover well, or stay alive in general. In my experience, players make the same mistakes across all characters. And those mistakes are punishable across all characters.

[@Jimboeatsbeans]

I’m really happy with the way you coach it’s framed perfectly as teaching moments and not just hating on this guy

[@Bigben154]

The hardest thing about Doom is that he's not TANKY per se. He can take ground if used correctly to get that temporary health, but he is SO squishy. Especially against this comp.

[@Soft_Ghost]

This is not "Learning Doom against hard match-ups" When people say Orisa counters Doom, it means an Orisa who use Fortify when you punch him, and Spear you when you block. This Orisa didn't even do that. This is just "Learning Doom"

[@liamreitsma5312]

It’s best not to spear a blocking doom cuz it still powers up his gauntlet. The spear is better used to cancel his punch or slam.

[@Tee_B]

​@@liamreitsma5312It doesn't fully power it.

[@bigfudge2031]

He did also try to fight the Orisa for the entire 1st round and literally did nothing to her. (The spin can also catch Doom in the air during his slam and then you combo it with a spear)

[@account-pb2df]

​@@liamreitsma5312it powers them a bit but it still breaks the block and stuns him, so it's worth most of the time.

[@BLOCKKADE]

@@Tee_Boften times where a doom is in a situation where an orisa is even making the effort to spear him it’s probably for good reason. he’s likely in front of their team and chances are their team slightly shot him. spear charges about 75% of his gauntlet

[@NightBlade117]

This doom is sadly a victim of using abilities off cool down. One thing you can do to improve on any hero is to play more patiently and make sure every time you use an ability, it lands with value. Practicing like this will help you recognize these moments and execute them faster and more accurately.

[@sethescope]

but pressing buttons is fun :( lol

[@bigfudge2031]

He spent way too much time on Doom either fighting the Orisa or facing up to the whole enemy team trying to hold space. You can't play Doom like a regular tank, he only has 450 health and a block, you can't just face tank damage, you may as well play Rein or Orisa if you are gonna play like that.

[@RobSpeaking]

Emongg, these are truly my favourite OW videos right now. Your pauses on bad plays and stuff is so funny. I also love that you admit you do the same bad plays because even that is helpful to hear. You don't need to learn from pros you can learn from watching bad plays and you make it entertaining well done

[@xaniso6955]

I like what this Doom is trying to do. He is clearly aware of the environment and often tries to punch behind cover or slam onto high ground. However, he does misuse his resources quite a bit and tends to be overly aggressive in silly ways. There's potential here. Gonna take time though. Gotta agree with Emongg. Appreciate the coaching style!

[@homelessman3483]

I would say swap heros he's gonna have a far better time playing brawl tanks with his instincts. I'm the same way

[@xaviergoodwin4806]

the main problem is target priority and not cycling his cool downs and missing punches. if he hit a bunch of punches he would have lived. and targeting the orisa when he could just jum past her to get somebody out of position.

i feel it was just mainly down to over usage of cooldowns and overcommitting and not bein able to escape afterwards. as long as they don’t spam cooldowns as much i think they could be fine

[@josephdavis3472]

This is a great video. Remember doom has very short cooldowns! To get good uptime, that means sometimes doing things that feels counterproductive... like slamming to cleave then punching back out, or maybe shooting once or twice then punching out. These 'sparring' maneuvers will draw out cooldowns, give you overhealth, and ult charge. You'll still get your CD's back first.

[@silent4fail]

Feedback for your editor (if they read this): I can't see the cooldowns (which is especially important for characters like doom). You can afford to shrink the chat - I don't really care.

[@kasm7870]

Good Doomfists can sometimes “counter” Orisas because they can’t peel when he dives the backline and ignores her. This guy was just trying to straight up win a fight with an Orisa on Doomfist. Just ignored the backline like 70% of the time.

Bro needs to watch more doom guides and watch more high ranked gameplays. You’ll be surprised and how much better you get just by watching better gameplay.

Landing punches is critical and I wonder do people use the charge meter to aim their punches or their crosshairs? I use the charge meter, as it helps you a lot, and your hit box is about as wide as it, so it feels to me.

[@nemebliss]

On one hand, I get that this Doom wants to learn but on the other I also get how frustrating it is for the rest of the team. Sometimes switching is the best course of action cause that's a very important part of Overwatch too.

[@dyamonde9555]

First step of learning a new Hero: learn when NOT to play them

[@LittleOrangeRabbit]

So true! Could just switch for one or two team fights and that makes a huge difference.

[@Slightly_Decent]

Just because the title of the mode says competitive doesn't mean there are stakes to each match. This isn't OWL where people play for prize money. Comp for 95% (probably more) of people is purely for self satisfaction of seeing a number go up.

[@carlhilber2275]

This is one thing I learned doing my climb grind, Individual matches do not matter, your hidden mmr does. So what if I go 5 and 14 and derank, if I really am the carry on my team and the system starts seeing me beating higher ranks again, on my next 5 and 2 I will gain my rank back. Likewise if your mmr is set where you are, a 60% win rate might barely net you a few ranks over hundreds of games.

[@kasa4501]

I've never seen someone challenge their hard counter so much

[@Paal2005]

As another (currently) plat 4 Doom main: The way you fight Orissa is to not fight Orissa. Create off angles, pick off isolated targets and distract the Orissa's team enough that her team is chasing a Doom 4v1 while the Orissa is fighting (and hopefully losing) a 4v1 against your team. You won't win a brawl against an Orissa,,,, ever.

[@sethescope]

2:47 I liked this sequence where the Doomfish looked at their tunnel visioned Moira like "so, are you going to notice i need healing or...?" it made me chuckle. don't get me wrong, I know Moira needs to do damage to get juice back in order to heal, but it is very obvious to me that the Moira had NO idea the Doom was even low. to be fair, we all do silly goose things sometimes. we all tunnel vision sometimes. so maybe this was just an unfortunate moment, not an indication of what's to come. 5:29 this Moira is a confirmed silly goose. that ult was something special lol

[@jonathankigozi3373]

I agree with Emongg, if the doom knew the roll out to go top let, the bastion and walk main as a turret and it now becomes an off angle if the team looks at Doom. And you got widow to turn the fight or pick the squishys

[@emiliosalazar1368]

I always find it strange that Doom does a melee attack with his left hand.

[@tanktahu]

This guy seems to jump into the backline alot without much thought of escape and he also loves to 1v1 the orisa, which obviously is not what you should do on doom. He needs to challenge the squishies and dive people who are away from their team. When people are holding high ground, he should be up there punching them off (Gibraltar is a good map for practicing this). During periods of time where there isn't anyone particularly vulnerable on the enemy team, the good ol' slam the team and punch out works a treat to build up some ult charge. of course, i'm not all that good at doomfist either, but these are still a few things that i think could be done to improve.

[@moonyeast]

I was wondering how Eichenwalde looked, and for you to give us that really cinematic sequence of showcasing Eichenwalde and taking the scenic route around the map was exactly what I was hoping for. So, we thank you for that. The ult was good to get out. I just love the route that the Doomfist took there." - emongg

[@keandred.windett7137]

14:53 Honestly outside of his gameplay, his choices on who he engages/doesn't engage isn't the best. This right here is a good example.

[@PAYERL]

In my opinion when i'm playing doomfist, learn his movement techs it will save you more often than not.

[@jukeswolfy2593]

I dont play much tank but i got to masters one tricking doomfist, so i'll say this guy should really work on his target priority. obviously targetting orisa is bad most of the time, but it seems like when he gets those big charged punches and hits multiple people, he cant pick one target to try and finish so he ends up panicking and missing most of his left clicks. Being proficient with dooms left clicks is one of the most important things to being a good doomfist. it can often mean the difference to getting 0 kills and team kills

[@gr1msloth741]

18:39 he used ult to get health pack because he was low. idk if that was a good or bad play but i like the idea.

[@G128_cz]

As a high plat player I feel like I can really talk about this since these could/would be my teammates. 1st I will bring out the positives, He isn't a bish just counter swapping, He's confident that's a good quality to have, I will say there were moments his team just wasn't there on some occasions. Now ... the negatives, 1st and biggest is his aim both with primary and punch, It seems He's panicking, ALOT, in team fights and trying to secure a elim, as We saw He can have nice aim as He did in the 1v1 against the Soldier close to the end, He needs to just relax and just calmly move his mouse, with punches He's just missing which both could be the outcome of being stressed which is just someone bro has to work on on his own, just go for like 5 minutes into a bot aim training in custom games to get the flicks, travel time and overall aim for primary and secondary. It seems He has a "idea" of how to play Doom but his decission making needs to be improved on (like You're 90 HP using Doom ull, just get out, even if You, somehow, kill someone with It You will fall over immidietly), there's no way You should hover over the ENTIRE enemy team with your ult at critical health thinking about if You should use It offensivly or to get out for 3,4 or 5 seconds, also It feels what ever decission He makes He's dead set on that decission as We saw with the Hanzo. I could straight up nick-pick but I'm not high ebough rank for It to be meaningfull and I could also go way more indepth but what's really the point of doing so in the comment section under a YT video.

Staying on doom when the other tank switches to orisa to “practice” in a comp game is ridiculous. I run into this problem all the time especially with doom players.

[@sethescope]

This person definitely has potential! you can clearly see they know a lot of the stuff they want to do on doom, and now it's just a matter of continuing to play and practice and watching vods to make sure you're implementing the changes you want to make and finding further areas for growth. all in all, not terrible. I dont think having a perspective of "X was the weak link" is helpful because it leads to tunnel vision and the blame game. if you're serious about improving, focus on YOUR mistakes and misplays. so what if Moira was a silly goose at times? you probably wont ever play with them again. YOU will play again, though, and you are 100% in control of the mistakes you made. focus on yourself, block and mute angy lil babies who are throwing fits about your hero pick, and move on.

One macro thing I noticed about this game, at least in terms of the first round, is after the enemy tank switched to Orisa, blue team was running more of a poke-style comp which is stronger against red teams more brawl-style comp. Given its plat, so there's leeway and times you can still fight their comp and come out on top, however, unless you the doom are playing nearly perfectly the whole time and getting your picks consistently, you were not going to win this game.

[@sadovuato]

yeah this guy just isn’t a good doom. He’s playing doomfist not just liek orisa, but also like a ball and trying to be in the backline via slam. Landing punch is so important because you get punished severely and 50% of the time you die because of it. A huge issue with his doom gameplay is he refuses to use cooldowns. He charges punch than does everything but punch once he gets it. If he does, he uses all 3 cool downs and has no escape. He relies way too heavily on power block to escape, which he can just be cc’d out of it. He has good game sense but 0 doom sense. He has no game knowledge on doom or how to play him. He’s also ulted several times when he’s at good health and not low health. Using doom at low health and 0 shields to gain that beeg shields is a huge bonus + letting your cool downs come back. E-punch is OP if you use it on squishies…but he just doesn’t. He easily can get a lot of easy picks if he focused e-punch on squishies and not the tank. His decisions to dive sometimes are good, but half the time he dives someone, uses all 3 cool downs, and then has to be bailed out by his team

[@Bacchus325]

They gotta lock Doom and Ball in comp until you hit Diamond. I cannot even tell you how many games I've had in Plat where Doom players and Ball players just get absolutely shit on for 10min. Like at that point swap for your own sanity you can't possibly be having fun.

[@NightBlade117]

Yes qp is where you should go to learn the basics of a hero. There is, however, a wider team balancing system in qp compared to competitive's tighter balancing. Learning a hero more in depth is perfectly fine in competitive due to this balancing difference. You might be queued with two supports on your team in qp that are also just learning tbeir character or just messing around, not playing seriously, which will sway how you learn and play. There is merit to learning a hero more in depth in competitive when you're playing with other people that not only know the basics of the hero their playing but are also playing to win.

I think it's part of playing a competitive game mode. it's the risk you take when you choose to play ranked without a group of people. to some extent, every match is going to be a roll of the dice. that's just the nature of the beast, always has been, always will be. being surprised or overly frustrated by this is a sign that someone has unrealistic and unreasonable expectations. I think people need to learn to handle situations they find frustrating and learn how to cope with frustration. and at the end of the day, it's important to remember that it's all a matter of perspective. one person's definition of "ready to play competitive" is someone else's "throwing." no one's right.

No one is entitled to go into a competitive mode and ruin the experience for their team. I don't care if you're learning. I don't care about this bull ~perspective~ argument you're making. If you aren't PLAYING TO WIN in competitive, then you don't belong in competitive.

How is this plat…

[@frog_m3trash684]

Woohoo early

[@nfortin24]

As far as Dooms go, hes not THAT bad.. I've seen muuuch worse. A few things to work on and he could do okay.

Honestly, as a switch player, Plat 5 Ramattra tank player I could’ve done better than this. No offense to the doom fist here but yeah. I could’ve done much better with even these crappy joycons.

[@sethescope]

you: no offense to this person also you: says something offensive about this person

[@tanktahu]

i doubt it but who knows, maybe you'll prove me wrong

[@Peraliq]

you're plat 5 on a console for a game no one takes seriously on there LOL, be for real. You should be GM on a console like that

@@Peraliq unprovoked toxicity, wow. you need to get some fresh air or something

[@cadenfleming9793]

@@Peraliq actually switch players play with the entire console pool I believe. At least that what it says when I queue up.

This is what plat on pc looks like? My gold console games go better 😂

[@Peraliq]

well you have easy ass aim assist so there's no requirement for having to learn how to have mechanics on characters like doomfist

[@babydemon46]

[@everilliem3292]

Crazy idea, but people can, and should just shut their mouth and let people play whatever they want. If you can't contribute anything meaningful or constructive, don't even bother typing, or opening your mouth. One possible loss won't affect your rank long term. People are free to do what they want, you've no idea what others lives look like, spreading hate just makes you a pathetic human being, saying nothing is the best course of action. If that is too difficult, and your life if falling apart in such a way that losing one meaningless match in an online game is about to derail your psyche, you have far worse problems to worry about than a "sub-par" team mate.

[@mathewbegnoche2095]

Doom is not and will not ever be a viable tank.

[@kookeekwisp]

Pleeeeeease move your chat somewhere that's not blocking the abilities You keep saying over and over and over how someone's overcommitting, but i'd have to rewind every single time you say that just to calculate precisely how long it's been since a movement ability was used ('specially cuz doom has two), and even then i can't keep track because A. I never pay attention to my own cooldown spacing, and B. Blizzard changes cooldown rates like every other thursday

[@sctoast2483]

if this guy is plat then I don't think I should be in plat. My doom is soooo much better. to be fair I would definantly rank up and just have to actually play ranked to get to diamond.

[@crimsonkarma13]

this doom sucks, even im a better doom and i dont play the guy

[@nunyabidness39982]

Guys cheeks on doom, id be flaming him too FOH

[@Flipcupch4mp]

Your doom play is fine but your team comp is terrible. Your playing doom with 2 low range healers who can't support you at all. You need to swap if they wont.

[@synz901]

His doom play wasn't really fine though lol
