Is The Doorman good right now?

The Doorman sits in tier D (#37 of 39): one of the weakest picks right now. They win 45.2% of their matches and appear in 19.8% of them (81,848 matches on patch 2026-09-26). The patch hurt: 0.9 points less win rate than before (46.1%). In high ranks (Oracle+) they do better: tier C at 46.6%.

The best-performing build right now is a spirit build: "SN|P3R : Doorman’s Welcome v2", at 50.0% over 142 matches. If you prefer a tank style, "Piggy`s Doorman (twitch.tv/piggyxdd)" sits at 46.0%.

The Doorman does especially well against Mirage, Shiv and Pocket and struggles most against Rat King (34.2%) and Graves. Their best teammate is Rat King.

He's proper, he's polite, but the humble Doorman of The Baroness Hotel is more than meets the eye. While he had only planned to experience life on this plane for a few weeks, The Doorman quickly discovered that the New York service industry was a great way to see the strange demands that please humans.
