How to counter The DoormanHow to counter

Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight

Heroes that do best against The Doorman, the items that do best when The Doorman is on the enemy team, and the window to fight. Each number compares a hero's (or item's) result against The Doorman with its usual result, relative to how everyone does against The Doorman, so neither a strong counter-pick nor a strong The Doorman skews the list.

Their combo: The Doorman checks a target into Hotel Guest (7m cast range) for 6.5s, then drags the next target along with Luggage Cart.

Beware: Keep your carry more than 7m from him. Luggage Cart only stuns against walls once it’s fully upgraded; before that it just drags you.
