Doorman Out of Bounds/Ceiling Teleport Exploit

[merry]

Steps to recreate:
1. Place your entrance Door anywhere.
2. Place your exit Door somewhere where the top of it touches a ceiling that leads out of bounds, this includes the invisible ceiling of the map.
3. Dash towards the top of your entrance Door, more or less above it.
4. You're out.

Entering the Doorway while above the frame results in you exiting the other Door in the same position, (above it that is,) and due to its placement being flush with the bounds of the map, exiting in this manner results in you being placed outside of the map.

Extremely easy to perform intentionally, and quite easy to do by accident during regular play, as this can be achieved basically anywhere on the map unlike some other out of bounds exploits which require more specific conditions to achieve.

Do not abuse this bug to your advantage in public matches, obviously. Out of bounds exploits have gotten people banned before.

Here are a few video examples of the bug, including the clip where I first discovered it by performing the bug unintentionally. (MatchID: 71715759 - Silver, Round 5, 3:00)

This is pretty egregious. You should add a matchid when you first encountered it with a timestamp to better help the devs isolate this bug!

This information is present in the first clip, but I've added it in nonetheless for the sake of clarity and ease of copy-pasting.

FWIW this exploit is 100% consistent and repeatable when performed correctly - it's as simple as getting into the Doorway above its frame, which means you also exit above the frame, causing you to exit out of bounds if said Door is flush with any ceilings. Moreso a matter of preventing Doorway from letting this happen, (without compromising its functionality,) than isolating the cause.

Addendum: Impossible Elevator

After some more testing I realised that this can of course also be used to go through ceilings that don't take you out of bounds. Significantly more abusable in regular play, as it could easily go unnoticed due to being both far more subtle, and more genuinely useful than getting out of bounds is. See examples below.
