9HOW TO CREEP
Author's category · 0 items · BUY VEILWALKER, it is so good it's criminal, I'm surprised nobody even uses the item especially on DOORMAN. The item heals you, makes you invis, and INCREASES SPEED++ ITS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. I TRULY AM A CREEP. Anyways activate veilwalker by walking into the veil once and seeking prey. If you can target slow heavy heros like Abrams or Billy its's basically GG they're gonna get slammed on walker.

10HOW TO KIDNAP
Author's category · 0 items · I'm sure you have seen many kidnapping compliations courtesy of JOECHUCK. It's really simple, vortex web and use your cart into your door. This is skill expression on DOORMAN and I refuse any statement against it. If they try to run you can always ult them for an easy kidnap, be weary of cc like holliday lasso.
