The best counter items against The Doorman are Metal Skin, Return Fire and Disarming Hex, with Metal Skin yielding the strongest results. Metal Skin helps enemies live through bullet pressure, which can waste The Doorman's best damage window. Return Fire is a warning sign when The Doorman has to keep shooting into someone who can throw that pressure back. Disarming Hex is a major problem because it can shut down a key play right when The Doorman wants to start or finish a fight. Most top-performing counter purchases are vitality items that disrupt The Doorman's ability timings, cleanse debuffs, and mitigate damage in team fights.

The Doorman is not going to feel the same in every rank. In some brackets, players may give cleaner openings and let The Doorman stay active in fights.
