The Doorman Counters & Counter Picks
Who counters The Doorman in Deadlock? Heroes The Doorman is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over recent matches.
Squishier laners like Sinclair, Mina, and Silver hate a hero that can control space and dictate where a fight happens. The Doorman pins them down before they can set up their trades, and once their positioning is broken they fold. The trouble comes against Seven, Victor, and Graves, who all bring their own strong zoning or burst and refuse to be forced into bad angles. They punish overcommits and out-sustain the pressure The Doorman wants to apply. Draft tip: pick The Doorman into fragile, position-dependent lanes, and avoid it when the enemy already has heavy zoning of their own.
The Doorman wins 46.05% of matches overall (#37 of 44 heroes) since the Halloween 2026 Update. Its most favorable matchup is Mirage at 52.16%; Graves is the toughest counter, holding The Doorman to 38.87%.
