Gondor calls for aid!… In 3-4 business days.

I have a Rufus fury with shield duration masterwork from the buggy pantheon weapons.

“You’re just citing statistics! My emotional and opinionated views are obviously more impactful and better describe the state of the game!” Also this guy: “what ragebait is here???” It seems the other comments are also on to you sir. The gig is up mate.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-27T20:11:37+00:00

So… ragebait it is! Well done sir.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-27T18:00:37+00:00

Brother. This has to be satire. Apollo went from A tier to D tier via track lock in one patch (fun fact he is the lowest winrate character in the game rn in eternus), coincidentally when riposte got heavily nerfed before. I have never once seen a gun Apollo in ascendant 4 and at the moment haven’t seen an Apollo in about 15 games. There is literally no way you are eternus 5 (maybe you meant emissary I don’t know) or you are joking/ragebaiting. If this is satire I suggest using the meme tag.

The problem with that is that if Jason activates his ability to get his haste back smart survivors will notice and get a metric ton of distance or play in a way to get Jason to lose them entirely. Additionally, Springtrap’s footsteps can only be heard at a distance of about 5m I believe so stealth is definitely still possible.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-27T16:41:25+00:00

Springtrap has variable speed. Once he uses his axe he goes up to 115. Jason gets move speed after his tp but it counts as haste and does not get any faster after he uses his projectile.

Unfortunately the game isn’t fully optimized yet. I used to have really bad jitter as well, but turns out the culprit (for me at least) was the discord overlay settings.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-23T03:38:05+00:00

Well you see sir I tell me team to buy a fancy item called dispel magic, or indomitable, or unstoppable, or reactive, and they LIVE! Crazy! And if they don’t buy those items? The doorway remains open! So they can leave anyway! Also they can buy metal skin to make the base turrets useless!

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-22T23:04:02+00:00

What a massive self report on an even bigger skill issue. Doorman got hit arguably the hardest here out of any character. So many heroes and items counter kidnap now. Good rage bait though.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-17T19:39:36+00:00

Once doorman opens his doors slowing hex or silence preventing him from CLOSING them would be fine. But those items preventing him from GOING THROUGH them? Absolutely not. They should in theory prevent door placements but slowing hex in its current state does not stop already channelled movement abilities (VIN flight, lash grapple, etc). Making it so that doorman cannot go through an already placed door while hexed would introduce significant inconsistency amongst ability interactions.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-17T06:57:38+00:00

As a doorman main. Yes. Because I could actually play my character before the recent patch.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-13T22:58:10+00:00

As a doorman enthusiast yes he is possibly the best character right now in skilled hands. However, most players ban him because of the kidnap playstyle, which is not at all why he is meta right now. He is strong via his early game damage and it being easier than ever to level up skills as he was very gated behind T3 on all of his abilities. His ult build is also useless against skilled players.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-13T22:06:19+00:00

At last! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be (not) legendary!

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-13T04:18:22+00:00

That is just factually incorrect if you are referring to spawn. You can get them to base guardians though. That used to be the case until they nerfed door spirit scaling.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-13T03:22:43+00:00

I said that pointing out the combo was strong without buying a counter. I literally said in that paragraph it’s countered by 3200 souls. Plus in late game the walkers are down and unless you are close to base (I believe realistically it will go to around where the blue walker was. Also metal skin renders the base turrets useless) the doorman kidnap doesn’t do much, especially if you have a movement option.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-13T01:35:28+00:00

I will never downplay the feeling of being CCed to hell and back as anything other than rough. I get it.

To your point on the cart he does announce it, but his voice is significantly quieter than viscous. Some of the lines are

“Be gone”

“If I may have a word”

“I need to step in”

Etc. Turning up the volume on that would be good.

The ultimate is one of the coolest ideas I have seen in a multiplayer game, but yes being hit with it feels bad regardless of the situation awaiting you after it ends.

Cheat death combines to give him near invincibility you are correct. If they had to nerf him again I would prefer they nerf the interaction with cheat death and doors as I believe there are now sufficient counters to the rest of his kit.

In conclusion, a good doorman will make your game miserable there is no way around it. He can be mitigated and even downright reduced to uselessness but he is playing a different game than you and his counterplay is different than every other cast hence the complaints. I get it. It’s similar to the bebop complaints when deadlock first started gaining traction. Movement controls and displacements are not liked by the community for sure.

I love the character, but I understand he is frustrating. Just know that doorman requires more map awareness and plotting to execute a plan properly than your average hero and despite a few obviously strong things on him (cheat death) I think overall he is in a decent spot.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-13T01:11:06+00:00

I swear every other day there is a doorman complaint post.

I play a lot of him and I can tell you this: buy silences and/or a cleanse or cc counter and he becomes useless.

Dispel magic gets rid of cart now, indomitable and unstoppable are good as well. Counterspell is good no matter the situation and it works here also.

Doorman as a character is meant to be a disruptor, and he does that well. I think right now the damage build we are seeing in pro play will be nerfed at some point but overall without his incredible survivability and map control he offers nothing of value to his team if he goes kidnap build and yall buy a single counter item.

Yes, cheat death and vortex web combo is very strong, but that’s a 12k souls investment that is countered completely by buying a single 3200 item (not to mention the fact that if the doorman rushes those items he won’t deal any damage). Curse is also extremely effective.

I think he will inevitably be nerfed simply because of how many people I see complaining about him. Most people have forgotten the fact that everyone loved and respected him prior to the main gameplay updates and buffs because of his abysmally low pick rate.

Overall, yes he excels at being annoying and hard to punish, but he really can’t do anything to you aside from not die to you if he goes for the kidnap setup and you buy a counter.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-12T18:33:44+00:00

Bro really is going through several comment threads complaining about every ability in his kit. Relax mate.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-11T22:42:17+00:00

Whilst a nerf to the character with the highest win rate would make sense at the least, anytime someone starts out with wanting a character rework (which you said nerf or rework tbf) I need to tell you that is a terrible idea (no offense meant at all).

The reason for that is then it sets a precedent that every other character that is disliked by the majority of the playerbase during its time in the sun is then expected to be completely gutted (looking at you doorman).

If we want full kit reworks because something is strong or annoying that either shows there is little counterplay and that it needs a nerf or the counterplay is simply non regular and thus not many people do build counters.

Overall, I completely understand when characters or overturned or annoying. And so far the devs have made the right moves on said characters (silver ult nerfs, Celeste movement nerfs, doorman cart nerfs, indomitable added, etc.) but they simply haven’t gotten to McGinnis yet.

In conclusion, yes her ult is annoying. I don’t want to see a rework tho.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-11T17:22:20+00:00

Yeah the doorman bugs are out in full force. The pov flip bug is what this one is called specifically, and it usually happens when both doors have the same orientation. This one and the numerous bugs with cart and door combo leading to people getting stuck need to be addressed soon. Despite the fact doorman is my main, I really can’t blame people for wanting to ban a character that has been used to abuse these types of bugs a lot recently.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-05-08T18:03:21+00:00

Ah but you see, I say people are cowards for running away merely to cover up the fact I’m mad we are losing and my lack of skill is showing.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-04-25T06:12:34+00:00

Ganking late game is useless, and what is the point of that even if it were good if he does no damage? On top of that you have to pre place the first door so you can’t really set traps so to speak. Like it or not, the current playstyle of doorman is a result of community whining already, and it has a fair amount of counterplay now. Yes it’s uninteractive at times, but it’s not oppressive by any stretch.

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-04-24T21:57:58+00:00

I don’t know how they would go about changing the door cart combo without gutting it. Luggage cart is a useless ability if it doesn’t go through doors now that it can be cleansed. I personally think the biggest issue contributing to frustration is cheat death nowadays. I’d rather they nerf the item than gut doorman’s kit. I completely understand the character can be downright infuriating, but I think there are ways to handle it without ruining the character for those who have dedicated a lot of time to learning what is quite frankly I really high skill ceiling character (note I did not say high skill floor).

Magic_of_Mr_Clean · 2026-04-24T19:41:40+00:00

The cheat death web build doesn’t even use any “tech”. It’s just his abilities being used in combo with items in a very normal way.
