Doomfist’s divided opinion somewhat since he hit the test servers a few weeks ago. While the usual concerns about overpowered abilities have been aired, some have questioned whether this melee orientated Offense character really suits the style of the game.
If you haven’t had a chance to get a feel for Doomfist yourself, you’ve just over a week to wait until he goes live. If you want to get ahead of the game before then, we’ve got a Doomfist guide which contains a huge amount of information on how to actually play this new hero.
