Doorman Bug, Doorman's ability to place his doorway behind the invisible wall in spawn

[zachary_robinson]

I dont mind it being able to be in spawn but at least remove its ability to be placed behind the invisible barrier, it just results in a free kill on anyone from 100% hp with no counter other than dont get carted through his door into spawn, all the healing and items in the world wonnt save you its bs, had full build vs some doorman in a wash of a game but while attacking his base suddenly im trapped in his spawn till im dead, its unfun and unfair please remove it the more people learn about this the more people abuse it

pic shows invisble wall,if you place your door anywhere its a trap, and you can just prep this and surprise people with the range reaching pretty much your whole patron pit

its a strat I will say though the locked doorway that only allies can go in is an area that needs to be restricted i tested this in game and its evil but I think it is fair to throw someone in the spawn if lash can throw people in there

i dont mind sending people to spawn, like lash does, the issue with doorman is he puts you behind an invisible wall you cant escape from

I
If lash can throw team in the spawn just by looking at them doorman sould be able to send the one or two in the spawn it takes a combo to pull off and it is not as easy as the lash ult and players should audjust to this it is 100% fair he is easy to kill and counter so i think he is fine

either way the other team will still be stuck behind an invisible wall until they die. how is that fair?

Happened to me in a game as well. Pulling someone into spawn is fine, but being trapped behind an invisible wall and guaranteed dead in the late game is pretty miserable.

this needs to be fixed, no reason that one should be just stuck behind invisible wall

Not at all the same thing, lash can't throw people behind the barrier. Only doorman can, and certain heroes can go by using their own abilities like Drifter tp and shiv execute.

There are multiple abilities such as Pocket teleport, Yamato Grapple, etc, that can get you out of the spawn. In addition to multiple items that can get you out such as Phantom Strike.

On top of that, Silencing, Cursing, counter spelling, can all prevent a doorman from pushing you into the spawn.

If you are pushed/walking into the spawn, there are many items and ways to prevent this. For those saying this is a bug it is not, there has been 50+ patches since doormans release. Please learn how to counter different strategies by utilizing in game abilities and items before making such posts like this. It only highlights your inability to build properly inside the game to prevent such things happening.

no, it is not a bug.

however, i personally feel as if an invisible wall should not be part of game strats. it's a cheap cop-out.
i don't know why the wall is even there to begin with.

finally it was fixed, it was just a dumb situation to be stuck in, people will always want cheese (me included because it's fun, but we have to realize when something is busted or just plain unfair.

well now you cant put a door anywhere in spawn...

why not make the wall stop bullets and abilities but be able to walk through like a paradox wall because this was a massive nerf loosing the ability to move yourself and teammates into safety quickly

Honestly, I think they went a bit too far not being able to put a door anywhere in spawn, the only issue I saw was placing it past the invisible barrier.

I think it MASSIVELY reduced his utility as a support, you could save a friendly player by giving them an escape route and then closing it before enemies could follow, now even with a well planned and placed door you are exposed for a couple seconds in a wide open room while enemies are at your base.

The fact lash can still throw you past it with his ult means they didn't fix the problem they put a band-aid on it and in the process made one of the few designated support character less viable.

They could have made it where you couldn't place a door behind the wall, let players pass through the wall in one direction, or have it function more like a paradox wall where it stopped abilities and bullets but players could move through it freely. any of these would have been a better solution to the issue that wouldn't directly Nerf one of the few designated support characters it would have just removed the cheese.

Very happy you can't use it to trap people behind the invisible barrier, but hot dang Valve, give us back the ability to place doors in the spawn area.

Every single thread I've seen on this bug before it was fixed, had the same sentiment: "it's fine to send people to the fountain with doors, but you shouldn't be able to trap people behind an invisible barrier".

This change went too far.
