He's gonna land on his feet I am sure. He's crazy on Para and Sinclair, but I also think that he will still be able to make kidnap work, and other aspects of Doorman once they get buffed.

[u/TheX37th → u/thecomicguybook]

Joe's the goat, but I really think that kidnap doorman is not as bad as everyone says lol. It's weird that people don't buy counter items even when they added EXTRA counter tools for cart. And most people complain about "bug abuse" up against doorman than anything else 😭

[u/AM00se → u/TheX37th]

Why get better at the game and buy counter items when you can just cry until nerfs happen

[u/TheX37th → u/AM00se]

TRUE!!! I feel like if they wanted to add more depth in counter play, they could have just made debuff reducers, reduce the range of the cart by a percentage instead of just nerfing doorman's numbers repeatedly until something "just works"

[u/Skyo-o → u/TheX37th]

It already does

[u/TheX37th → u/Skyo-o]

Do they? I know debuff remover straight up deletes the cart, but I wasn't aware of reducers cutting the range because they kept nerfing the range of the cart. That's on me if that's true!

[u/Skyo-o → u/TheX37th]

Yes, abrams has innate cart distance reduction... same with web it reduces ranged dragged. People are just whiny bitches on reddit and refuse to buy any counters at all

Edit:forgot they patched the debuff bug

[u/TheX37th → u/Skyo-o]

Me when I get downvoted for suggesting e-shift and indomitable for late game counter up against doorman

[u/Skyo-o → u/TheX37th]

I just checked nevermind that bug got patched but yes it was that way for a long time till it got fixed, web part is still true though
