The Doorman Builds FAQ

Which The Doorman build should I use?
Does this build help the team use Doorman’s rotations and displacement? Compare recent match samples, core purchases and ability order, then adapt optional items for the enemies you face. The highest win rate alone does not guarantee the best fit for your match.
How are build win rates calculated?
Build win rate is the share of recorded matches won by players who had that published build selected when the match started. Players may change builds or buy different items during a match, so treat the statistic as a useful signal, not proof that following the listed items causes a win.
What does Trending mean?
Trending measures whether a build is gaining usage share compared with the previous seven days. A build can be rising without having the highest win rate, and small samples are excluded from trend rankings.
