Some Background: I was Diamond 1 back in Season 4 of OW1, and then I sort of stopped playing competitively after that and then stopped playing the game altogether after season 8 or so (of OW1). Fast forward a bit and I suddenly come back to the game as of a few days ago, since my friends wanted to try getting back into it, and I've been climbing again (having to start at bronze) but have started to hit snags during the Gold to Plat transition.

The character that I just can't seem to beat is Doomfist, I've gotten a few tips like "Play Mauga" or "Play Junker Queen" but they just don't feel right to play for me (although I've been trying a bit every now and again, as seen at the beginning of the replay). Instead, I've been trying to push through with Orisa against him, but it still feels like no matter what I do I just can't seem to win as he just mows through the entire backline like it's nothing. Only reason I've ever won against him is if the enemy team has a sudden leaver. It feels like there's a Doomfist in every game I play now, so I'm just wondering if there's any tips I can get against him, as it just feels like I'm missing something (or at least general gameplay tips, based on the VOD in the title). I know I sort of suck with aiming, and general positioning, but it's slowly coming back the more I play it, although this game definitely does not show that off. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I did a video VOD review! The main points:

  1. Don't use fortify and spear spin at the same time, or too early. Try and layer them with spin first (shorter cooldown) -> fortify -> spin. Aggressive spear spins while you still have fortify is a really safe way to move up against the cass and widow.
  2. You can use spear throw on Doom after he blocks or uses an ability to go in. Stop trying to coral him with spear spin, unless you saw him use both slam+punch already. You failed so many times doing this, and then had no abilities left to make your own play.
  3. The times when Doom got low and runs away is a great time to go aggressive yourself
  4. Target priority, a few times you focused too much on the flying mercy/phara, and you ignored a flank high noon 5 meters behind you.
  5. Set up an organized retake on the last fight defense side. It could have been so easy if you regrouped and went in with EMP + terra surge
