Here are the top Doomfist retaliation choices in OW2.
It goes without saying that there was a lot of excitement when Doomfist became a playable hero because his gauntlet was featured in the first cinematic trailer for Overwatch. Doomfist was formerly a damage hero in Overwatch; however, he has recently changed his kit and turned into a tank hero for Overwatch 2.
These kinds of adjustments shifted not only certain of his play styles but also the meta for his counters.
The best heroes in Overwatch 2 to use against Doomfist
Here are some of the top heroes in the current meta who can successfully combat Doomfist.
- Zarya
- Roadhog
- Baptiste
- Bastion
1. Zarya
When it comes to defense, Zarya is a strong Doomfist opponent. Most of the damage that Doomfist deals can be effectively blocked by a skilled Zarya player using their energy. She may fight off his rocket punch by strategically activating her particle barrier.
She may not have enough to deliver the maximum amount of damage, but she still outperforms other choices when it comes to protecting herself from Doomfist.
2. Roadhog
If a tank player needs to oppose Doomfist, Roadhog might be the ideal choice because of his ability to pull and provide extremely high burst damage with his Chain Hook.
Doomfist is forced into a defensive stance by a chain hook into a headshot combination since he has a lesser basic health pool than other tanks.
3. Baptiste
Baptiste can deal Doomfist some impressive chip damage from a distance, but he can also completely avoid most of Doomfist’s attack skills, including Seismic Slam and Rocket Punch, by using his Exo boosts and jumping out of the way.
Regenerative Burst and Immortality Field allow him to both out-heal the damage caused by hand cannon projectiles and shield himself and his teammates from the deadly punch of a rocket.
4. Bastion
When Doomfist engages in an attack and uses his seismic slam or rocket punch to dive upon you or your teammates, that’s when you convert into an assault configuration and seize the opportunity. However, you have to time it just right.
He can hold off the opponent’s Doomfist with the correct teammates and team composition gathered around a bastion. The primary strategy for defeating Doomfist is to be conscious of his gauntlet and whether it is enabled or not.
If he doesn’t have an empowered gauntlet, most high DPS heroes like Sojourn, Soldier, Tracer, etc. may quickly reduce his health. It makes a difference to be mindful of when he will attack and which of his skills have cooldowns.
In Overwatch 2, defeating Doomfist requires precise strike timing and catching him off guard.
