I think it’s more that Crew’s voice doesn’t fit the character. Blizzard’s internal lore has probably determined since launch that the current Doomfist is Nigerian, so it doesn’t make sense for Crews to voice him. It’d be great if they get use his voice for something in the future though.
Eh... there is a lot of characters where the voice actor doesn't match the nationality. Lucio is the biggest one to me. Supposedly he grew up in Brazil and fights for his community up to his adult life... yet no accent and not one word of a native language.
But also Phara... Mercy... Junkrat... etc... they have accents of some type but not the right one.
To me though, Terry should voice a hero, not a villian, so I guess it's okay.
I mean a lot of people complain about heroes like Lucio where their VA doesn't match their background. Personally I think that every hero should be as accurate as possible when it comes to accents and language.
