Developer Comment: The recent increase to Rocket Punch wall slam angle has added a lot of consistency and made Doomfist significantly more threatening. To help account for this we're pulling out some of the survivability from Seismic Slam.
Seismic Slam
- Shockwave range reduced from 18 to 15 meters.
- Cooldown increased from 6 to 6.5 seconds.
11/8/2024

Rocket Punch
- Angle required for wall slam increased from 44 to 55 degrees.
Meteor Strike
- Ultimate cost reduced 8%.
- Healing per second while in the air increased from 75 to 90.
7/5/2024
Developer Comments: Most of Doomfist's survivability is through his excellent mobility, but this boost to his passive Overhealth generation will enable him to stay in the fight longer before disengaging, especially when hitting multiple targets with his abilities.
The Best Defense…
- Overhealth gained per target increased from 35 to 40 HP.
- Delay before Overhealth begins to drain increased from 1 to 3 seconds.

Developer Comments: This quality-of-life improvement streamlines the transition between charging up an empowered Rocket Punch and another ability by removing the requirement of pressing the cancel input first.
Rocket Punch
- The empowered punch is no longer consumed when the windup is canceled by using Seismic Slam or Power Block.
4/1/2024
Developer Comments: Doomfist is a mobility hero, so there’s no reason he should be slowing down while blocking right?

Power Block

12/5/2023
Developer Comments: One of the most effective uses for an ultimate ability like Meteor Strike is to save it as an escape in order to grab a health pack instead of using it against his foes. Doomfist will now recover health during the targeting phase so that it can be used more offensively.
Meteor Strike
- Now regenerates 75 health per second while in the air.
- Ultimate cost increased 16%.

Added the hero-specific option:

8/10/2023
Developer Comments: Doomfist is performing well overall but tends to have more deaths on average compared to other Tank heroes. Lowering the Seismic Slam cooldown will reduce downtime in his ability rotations and translate into more survivability due to the increased mobility and potential for generating overhealth more often with his passive ability. Additionally, Power Block will now always reduce explosive damage from a projectile stuck directly to Doomfist, even though normally you have to face the direction of the incoming damage to block it.
Seismic Slam
- Cooldown reduced from 7 to 6 seconds.
Power Block
- Now reduces damage from stuck projectiles.

12/6/2022
Developer comments: There are several changes here for Doomfist with the intent to increase his presence as a disruptive brawler-style tank. The buff to his passive ability will help him stay in the fight longer, especially when he’s hitting multiple enemies with his abilities.
The changes to Power Block and Meteor Strike are intended to increase the availability of Empowered Rocket Punch, which enables him to more easily disrupt enemies and impact multiple targets. Due to gaining Empowered Rocket Punch more consistently, the stun duration and size are slightly decreased to reduce some of the frustration in playing against it.
For Rocket Punch we’re shifting some of its damage away from requiring wall impacts so that it's broadly more useful regardless of where fights are taken.
Rocket Punch
- Impact damage range (minimum-maximum) increased from 15-30 to 25-50 damage
- Wall slam damage range (minimum-maximum) reduced from 20-40 to 10-30 damage
- Empowered Rocket Punch wall slam stun duration range reduced from 0.5-1 to 0.25-0.75 seconds
- Non-Empowered Rocket Punch now stuns for the minimum 0.25 second duration on wall slam
- Empowered Rocket Punch knockback radius reduced from 4 to 3 meters
- Minimum time before cancel option becomes available reduced from 0.25 to 0.12 seconds
- Cooldown reduced from 4 to 3 seconds
- This has been in since his rework but was not mentioned
Power Block
- Cooldown reduced from 8 to 7 seconds
- Duration increased from 2 to 2.5 seconds
- Minimum damage mitigated required to empower Rocket Punch reduced from 90 to 80 damage
Meteor Strike
- Now empowers Rocket Punch on landing
- Enemy slow duration increased from 2 to 3 seconds
The Best Defense...
- Maximum temporary health increased from 150 to 200 health
- Temporary health gained per target hit with abilities increased from 30 to 40 health
