Doomfist Has 18+ Bugs Across 4 Skills. I Gathered Examples for Every Single One of Them.

Rocket Punch Bugs

Bug 1.

Unstopped Ghost Punch - it is when DF goes through the target all the way till the RP stops by itself, the full distance is traveled.

Examples:

 

Bug 2.

Stopped Ghost Punch - it is when DF goes through the target and the animation of punching is played as if DF punched the target, but DF is stopped shortly after w/o traveling the full punch distance, and nobody was actually punched.

Examples:

 

Bug 3.

Wall slides - it is when you punch the target into a wall but it doesn't take impact damage and slides off of it instead.

Examples:

 

Bug 4.

The Bouncy Bug - Introduced with the Mercy/Dva rework patch. Doomfist bounces off the walls and misses his target which he aimed for, usually resulting in death.

Examples:

 

Bug 5.

Rocket Punch Stun Ignore - some characters like zarya and reaper can sometimes activate their shift midway through the punch knockback.

Examples:

 

Bug 6.

Delayed Rocket Punch - Doomfist just stops midair for some duration of the rocket jump instead of going forward, or the full duration of it.

Examples:

 

Bug 7.

Rocket punch does not break destructable objects.

Examples:

 

Bug 8.

Mei's Wall <-> RP Interaction - often rocket punch won't punch the person in front of the wall, but will hit the wall behind the person and stop.

Examples:

 

Bug 9.

Genji's Dash <-> RP Interaction - Genji's dash ignores the stun and the knockback effect, and continues to travel until it stops by itself.

Example:

 

Bug 10.

Reinahrdt Charge <-> RP Ineraction = often Doomfist gets stunned by punching a charging reinhardt from an angle that shouldn't be considered as a pin angle for reinhard, like punching rein from a side/back.

Examples:

 

Seismic Slam Bugs

Bug 11.

Seismic Slam no damage registration - when the target is in your seismic slam area of damage, it doesn't take any damage as if it didn't get hit at all.

Examples:

 

Bug 12.

Seismic Slam Cancellation - Slam sometimes is randomly canceled completely and puts it on cooldown, w/o triggering the wave at all.

Examples:

 

Bug 13.

Instant Seismic Slam - in certain circumstances, the skill activates instantly, no honing/small jump, just isntantly, and usually for 11 damage.

Examples:

 

Bug 14.

Grounded Slam Output With Aerial Slam Indicator - often when the indicator for a honing slam appears, Doomfist does a grounded slam instead.

Examples:

 

Bug 15.

Grounded Slam Output From High Altitude - happens if there is a character below doomfist, despite both being at high altitude above the ground.

Examples:

 

Uppercut Bugs

Bug 16.

No Launch Uppercut - Sometimes the uppercut doesn't launch the enemy up, or in the direction you uppercut.

Examples:

 

Bug 17.

Grounded Uppercut - You uppercut but don't go up. I've seen it one time.

Examples:

 

Meteor Strike Bugs.

Bug 18.

Incorrect Ult Landing - Ult lands on an unperchable ledge despite being centered below.

Examples:

 

Compilations

This section containt videos that compiled bugs from different categories.

 

Other Bugs

I don't even know in which category to put due to their rarity/unclarity/similarity with other bugs.

 

Lowering Seismic Slam Frustration Factor

There is also one more thing i would like to address, it is not a bug, but it is a massive source of frustration. This suggestion is a tl;dr version of this thread(https://redd.it/7dru1l), where i go with a little bit more explanation.

 

I'm talking about the situation where Slam lands directly into an enemy and completely whiffs, despite being right on top of him. I suggest making a small area around doomfist, in the point of landing, to also be considered the slam area.

 

Here is an imagine of what i mean: https://i.imgur.com/2OanzWw.png

Removing Inconsistency From the Shotgun

Doomfist's shotgun has a completely RNG spread, and it makes it inconsistent for no reason. The RNG is so big that it makes the shotgun have high variance in results.

 

See this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J18bsHeoRc4

 

RNG introduces a variance in the TTK, from 2 shots to kill to 4, which is double the shots. This is bad and leads to inconsistent results. Nobody plays doomfist atm because his bugs make him inconsistent and frustrating to play, having a built in inconsistent tool is just beyond me. There is no good reason to have this RNG, especially in a eSports oriented game.

 

The RNG spread should be removed and made into predetermined spread, that is always the same, with every shot.

 

I will be adding more examples with time, if you have more bugs not posted here or more examples, please post and i will add it.
