Deadlock Doorman Overview

If you're a fan of outsmarting your opponents with big-brain plays that account for tricky angles, Doorman is your guy. His unique kit allows him to take advantage of the map's terrain with his Doorway portals, making him a rewarding hero if you want to invest a lot of time.

He's proper, he's polite, but the humble Doorman of The Baroness Hotel is more than meets the eye. A brisk ring of his Call Bell leaves nearby enemies disoriented, and his high-speed Luggage Cart knocks them right off their feet. Do you find yourself getting lost easily in the streets of Manhattan? Don't worry, The Doorman is here to provide a shortcut with his Doorway whenever the need arises. And only the most special of enemies get to experience the trip of a lifetime to The Baroness Hotel. - Please, stay as long as you'd like.
