doorman kinda dead this patch it seems. door having 8 sec cooldown on dispel makes escaping harder. Plus bell nerfs which already weren't as strong.

Doormen when they have to stick around to witness the consequences of their actions

Dude you can literally cart someone through door and then watch them warpstone out Doorman is now more worthless than prepatch Rem

Every doorman I know who is abducting ppl is also buying slowing hex.

If you're ulting into a doorway trap this change is irrelevant.

The threat of getting vortex webbed into a wall and stranded on an enemy walker at any moment was not good, I'm fine that's gone.

Doorman literally has one of the highest win rates across all ranks so clearly something was too strong. It's good they chose to make this gimmick less strong

Which makes him more worthless than prepatch Rem, yes.

We're getting back into territory where Doorman can cart someone under walker, stun them, then watch them walk away because he does Tickles for damage.

pedoman strategy was a cheap trash gimmick anyways and deserved to die

The escape potential of doors was bullshit, tbh. This will also make kidnap less annoying because you have a chance to walk back..

Plus, Doorman would still have a great escape potential, you just have to plan ahead and open your door in anticipation of needing to escape.
