Polkadi~☆ 13,818 Posted June 1, 2017 also, low grav wheee AND MCCREE BUFFS, HIS ULT WON'T BE SO USELESS :DDD and reaper changes, they're kinda huge? and roadhog changes that are really weird. And Oni Genji and Officer D.va are now in regular lootboxes, how nice. I'm not complaining that what I worked hard for are now regular prizes, at least I found a MOBA I like in the end, so it's not all bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goku262002 4,546 Posted July 6, 2017 If we can stop obsessing on the sonic vocal theme for a second: Doomfist has been announced. God I hope he's still voiced by Terry Crews in-game. 2 gato and Baconjack reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gato 1,933 Posted July 6, 2017 That trailer was nuts! Blizzard keeps teasing me with all the cool stuff they could do if they really wanted to go full cinematic, but they'd rather make a movie like Warcraft. 1 Teoskaven reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Linkabel 2,166 Posted July 6, 2017 If we can stop obsessing on the sonic vocal theme for a second: [/url] Doomfist has been announced. God I hope he's still voiced by Terry Crews in-game. He's voiced by Sahr Ngaujah, it would be silly having a different person voicing him in his introduction and then have Terry voicing him in the game.

Pawn 3,080 Posted July 6, 2017 Not that I'm even playing this game, but that anime-style introduction was super sweet. That's one hell of a voice too. I wish I was into online shooters, just so I could play this. Oh well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wraith 23,224 Posted July 6, 2017 This character is the hypest. His origin, lore, design, personality, all that stuff are insanely cool to me and that animated short was probably the best trailer the game has had, but all that's the icing on how fun he looks to play. Fighting game combos. And that fucking MOVEMENT. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is fighting against him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nepenthe 37,087 Posted July 6, 2017 So I actually tried out Doomfist. Granted, this is in Arcade, where literally everyone one the team can use him, so it was just a fuckin' punch-filled extravanganza that doesn't in any way reflect proper play. Regardless: - Has surprisingly little health (250), shielding options, and is slow feeling. He's going to need some Tank or Mercy/Lucio back-up to survive. - Successfully using his Rocket Punch is difficult on moving targets, although you have a lot of movement when aiming, and a cancel option, so that should balance it. - Wall stun + shotgun to the face is basically Roadhog's old hook + scrapgun combo; you're basically dead if everything hits. - His ult Meteor Strike is terrifying. Just run, get into the air, something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow I thought they were going to make it so that it pulled you anyways. I imagine if you're in a pickle, it works like Earthshatter where you have to be in a certain range for it to land, so D.Va's Boost or Pharah's rocket jump can allow you to escape. But nah, I just flew away as Pharah. xD Speaking of which, Pharah is a definite counter to him. He's excessively easy to rocket kill. I know from experience on both ends. xP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baconjack 122 Posted July 8, 2017 I'm glad Terry Crews isn't voicing Doomfist, as Crews is too comical to fit Doomfist's serious and villain character that Blizzard are going for. Sahr sounds so much better. Getting Crews to voice Doomfist is like getting Mike Pollock to voice Reaper. I've given Doomfist a turn on the PTR, and I must say, his ult is exceptional when comboed with Graviton Surge or Earthshatter. However, despite being quite strong against the squishier heroes, IMO he is very weak against Pharah, the snipers and Reaper. 2 Polkadi~☆ and kirby1up reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Granted, a tank ought to survive that as well as any character with a Zarya shield (I don't think I've seen how well his ult does against the other tanks' shields).

Ryannumber1gamer 42,096 Posted August 22, 2017 4 hours ago, Polkadi said: ya can't just show that without I love how this is pretty much meant to be like Junkrat parodying the usual shorts. I've seen people complain about how it's closer to an SFM movie as opposed to proper short, and I'm laughing at the fact it seems like it's meant to be like that. It's like Junkrat is just parodying the entire usual shorts, to the point where he's singing his own intro song, and even singing the Overwatch theme tune at the end. Also, who noticed the Cowboy Bebop reference? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
