Yo squad! 😭🔥 Just jumped into Overwatch: Classic's Moth Meta event, and HOLY COW—Blizzard actually rolled back Doomfist to his 2017 beast mode! Seeing those seismic slams and uppercuts hit like they did eight years ago? Pure nostalgia overload. Honestly, it's wild how much this tiny hotfix changed everything. I mained Doom back in the day, and lemme tell ya, finally feeling that raw, un-nerfed power again? Chef's kiss. 💥✨ overwatch-classic-moth-meta-doomfist-reverted-to-2017-glory-image-0

So what’s actually different? Let's break it down real quick:

  • Seismic Slam now has OG ground checks + shockwave hitbox—no more whiffing those epic environmental kills!

  • Rising Uppercut air time is LENGTHY again (3 seconds of chaos instead of 0.6), plus you lose air control like it’s 2017 🕹️💢

  • Cancels? Gone! Rocket Punch/Meteor Strike CAN’T interrupt Slam or Uppercut anymore—forcing you to commit like a true O.G.

Blizzard’s devs straight-up said: "We’re retuning Doomfist for that September 2017 feel." And dude, they nailed it. Last night on King’s Row, I yeeted a Mercy mid-rez with an uppercut combo I haven’t landed since college. Felt illegal. 😭👌 But here’s the tea ☕—this ONLY works in the Moth Meta mode. Regular 5v5? Nah, Doom’s still shackled. Feelsbadman.

Honestly? This event’s a time capsule. Remember when Mercy’s rez was broken? They fixed her too! Now she’s back to being the moth queen 🦋👑, and paired with vintage Doomfist? Absolute mayhem. I got steamrolled by a nano-boosted Doom yesterday—zero regrets. The chaos is glorious!

Change 2017 Version Modern OW2
Uppercut Air Control 3 seconds loss 😵 0.6 seconds 😴
Slam Shockbox Wider, messier hits 🎯 Tighter, "balanced" 🙄
Ability Cancels Disabled ❌ Allowed ✅

Quick rant tho—why’s this limited-time?! 😫 With Blizzard’s Rapid Balance tech pushing fixes FAST (shoutout to that genius system 💻⚡), they could totally make Classic permanent. Imagine grinding 2017 metas whenever? I’d trade 3 battle passes for that.

And peep this—next week’s final bug fixes before the event ends Feb 18! Then BAM, Season 15 drops same day. The Spotlight event on Feb 12? 🤯 Supposed to reveal "groundbreaking 2025 changes." My hopium? They announce more throwback modes. Or better—let us queue for specific metas! Imagine cycling through Beyblade or GOATS. 🙏

Final thoughts? This hotfix ain’t just nostalgia—it’s a reminder that old Overwatch had MAGIC. That janky, unbalanced, beautiful mess? chef’s kiss. Playing Doomfist untamed again... man, I forgot how terrifying he was. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got 8 years of pent-up rocket punches to unleash. 😈💢 #MothMeta4Life
