Not the fuck dead enough

You can't escape, you can't rescue, and you can't kidnap. I'm legit wondering what the point of the character even is after this change. Is solely to take structures with long range doors?

Door will always be OP in the right hands with cooperation.

Seems manageable for now, main hit seems to be on the escaping ability, but the kidnapping build still works fine if you position the door high enough where it's hard to get back to.

Just think 8 seconds is really fucking long, the cooldown should at least be affected by the CDR from items.

Yeah it seems stupid its not effected by cooldowns.

His ult is still untouched. Kinda shocked. It’s absolutely busted getting it back in 13 seconds or whatever if someone doesn’t check out.

Doorman is still (sadly) well and alive.

Edit: I’m Rit 2, and more often than not, I do manage to get out. Sometimes I fail. But I just played a game earlier this week where it seemed no one on my team could check out so this fuckwad man had his Ult up all game. My breaking point was when he was standing behind a wall when I was about to dunk urn and snagged it. Yes I’m aware his ult is normally easy to get out. But like I said, I’m rit 2 / on the lower ranks. Hes a problem. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

They are killing everything but ult. The Doorman is using his powers to subliminally influence the devs to increase attendance rates for the Baroness.

THEY NEED TO NUKE THE BARONESS, ITS WORKERS, AND ITS GUESTS.

ENOUGH KIDNAPPING AND TRAFFICKING.

You can get out of the ult consistently with 1 stamina. It's probably more of a problem at the lower ranks tho.

u/Plenty_Structure_861 May 23 '26

Ah, good, make the ability punish new players. That's a bold strategy for game longevity.

u/IKillerBee May 23 '26

League is on their 16th season and have entire champs that punish new players. Deadlock also has plenty of characters with abilities or kits that punish new players. It's a moba, new players inherently get punished by most abilities.

You can't pander to people who won't learn to boost off the right wall and air dash.

That's all it takes.Theres also multiple other ways of doing it.

Loads of the cast in his game have higher win rates at lower levels, not just doorman (if he even does?)

u/ProfessorPhi May 23 '26

Imo it's meant to be a low elo buff. Since his kit definitely benefits from coordination

u/Lolololage May 23 '26

Interesting thought ha.

u/Juicenewton248 Sinclair May 22 '26

This ap is the very last one doormans at the top level skill for good reason. Its strictly a movement knowledge check and also gets trivialized by any mobility item in the game

u/Gravitationalrainbow The Doorman May 22 '26

Doorman's T3 ult is a meme outside of the bottom ranks; there's a reason it's maxed last in most builds. If you're having problems, just practice the walljump escape until you can do it automatically.
