List of the many places Doormans Doorway struggles to be placed

Currently Doormans Doorway suffers from some placement issues inherent in his actual Doorway's placement ability and some issues due to the worlds geometry. A really frustrating issue for Doorway placement right now is that there is some strange LOS or placement bug that prevents Doorman from placing a Doorway in valid positions based on his current vertical position compared to the Doorways placement position, see attached video for example. There is also an annoying issue where the Doorway will sometimes lock onto invalid palcements if looking slightly up or down when it was previously valid.

The other main issue is primarily due to the worlds geometry being a bit frustrating for him as the map doesn't seem to have had a pass focused on ensuring Doorway is easy to use in important locations. I will be listing all the notably annoying and frustrating possible Doorway placement locations for each lane and important area in this thread that I find are very important for Doorman to be able to use consistently without issue.

Note that many of the issues listed below can be fixed with better Doorway valid lockon placements and that the issues I listed are those that I find annoying or are important to be fixed as they cause problems in real matches.

Yeah LOS might be intended. But I agree overall, the geometry is not smooth and makes quick plays difficult sometimes. There can be small details on a wall that obstruct you from placing it when you are in the heat of a battle. I think it should be simplified if possible and sort of "override" some of these specifics. I just want to make a door and focus on the strategy of quick thinking. Not be an architect of door placement.
 
Yellow Lane - Amber hand
  • Frustratingly difficult to place doors by the ramp. This ability needs better snap locking as you can see here.
  • Wall with Light is too low for consistent Doorway placement
  • Too short hallway, or inconsistent door placement in the two hallways by Shop. Hallway near shop almost requires you to be looking directly at all to place door, an issue with the actual abilities placement.
  • Difficult and buggy door placement by Yellow lane shop
  • Sandbag door placement is a bit strange, one side can only be placed higher up, the other only at an angle.

  • Can't place Door by the left ramp due to some invisible collision boxes
  • Doorway is difficult to place inside the small room with the stairs

  • Spazzy Doorway placement on the back of the sandbags by the stairs, also issue with vertical placement.

Blue Lane - Amber Hand
This lane isn't too bad, just minor placement annoyances
  • Behind the Veil placing a Doorway can be a bit tricky since there is some strange issue where looking up slightly makes Doorway placement invalid
  • Placing Doorways on the statues has an invalid angle spot for all four statues
  • A bit annoying to place Doorways on the middle stairway by the Guardian

Green Lane - Amber Hand
  • Similar issue to yellow, Doorway by shop has a strange invalid placement, although not as bad compared to Yellow.
  • Technically not a bug or issue, more just a desire to be able to place a Doorway on the left side of the small room with the staircase.
  • Doorway placement on the bridge wall has been so god damn annoying, has caused so many annoyances in real matches.
