A lot of people were excited when Blizzard first revealed Doomfist. Just by his name alone you could tell that he was going to be a badass character. But, having a cool name doesn’t mean that you won’t come with a lot of bugs, and we do mean A LOT of them. There’s a particular thread on the Overwatch forum where a user by the name of iSinner listed over 30 bugs related to Doomfist, and now Blizzard has finally responded.
A Community Manager by the name of Tom Powers responded to this thread and told the players which of the bugs listed by iSinner where getting fixed and when, and which of them aren’t bugs at all. For example, the first bug listed was connected to Zarya’s bubble and Rocket Punch. If Doomfist tries to punch Zarya while she’s in her bubble he can hit the bubble if he aims directly into her model and the bubble will take all the damage, but he will go right through it if his aim is on the bubble but not Zarya’s model. But, according to Tom Powers, this is not a bug as the Particle Barrier isn’t like other shields in the game as it’s supposed to absorb all damage dealt to Zarya.
Most other bugs that are listed in this thread are already fixed or will be fixed soon, but things like Orisa and DVA having reduced knockbacks from Rocket Punch depending on whether they’re shooting or not isn’t directly connected to Doomfist, but to Orisa and DVA, which is also on Blizzard’s list to fix as soon as possible.
