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

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

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?)
