Doomfist Balance Changes

Doomfist is slightly easier to hit while leaping, but his punches land more reliably and let him escape faster.

Balance Philosophy

For each hero in B and C tier, slightly buff one part of the kit and slightly nerf another. The goal is to reduce the unfair parts of a hero while lessening their weaknesses.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Rocket Punch

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    Speed increase raised from 700% to 750% normal and from 1000% to 1050% empowered.
  2. Seismic Slam

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Movement speed reduced from 30 to 25 m/s.
