The Doorman build and item order
What The Doorman players buy, what a long game ends with, what changes against each enemy, and the in-game builds they pick.
The The Doorman build in brief
Most The Doorman players open with Extra Charge and Mystic Burst, then pick up Rapid Recharge (around 18 minutes, 74% of games) and Tankbuster (around 20 minutes, 74% of games).
The build splits in the mid game: the most common big buys from 9 to 20 minutes are Rapid Recharge (49%), Tankbuster (42%) and Greater Expansion (29%).
In games past 35 minutes, a finished The Doorman carries about 11 items, 43.1k souls, 69% of them spirit; most end with Tankbuster (87%), Rapid Recharge (86%) and Greater Expansion (85%).
Beyond the core items, the commonest big buy from 20 to 30 minutes is Superior Cooldown (25% of games); the late-game duel sets it against Cheat Death (16% of games).
The clearest change by opponent: against Vindicta, The Doorman players buy Knockdown at about ×1.83 the usual rate (24,035 buyers; adjusted, with small samples pulled towards ×1).
The most used in-game build is "Joechuck's DOOR MAXING: I dont like gun" by Doorman Buff Enjoyer, picked in 9,460 games (45% won).
The finished build 7 days · games over 35 min (59%)
What The Doorman games of 35 minutes or more end with, slot by slot: the share of those games still holding each item at the end, and when it's bought. Pick an item for its upgrade chain and numbers.

Each segment is an item's hold × its cost; the hatched end of each slot is held in items off the board.
Games over 35 minutes end with about 11 items, so 5 sockets read “usually empty”. Solid frames: held at the end of at least half of those games; dashed: fewer. Flex slots take any slot type, and each flex item keeps its own slot colour. From 112,739 long games (59% of The Doorman games).

Against other heroes 21 days
What players change, not proof it works. ★ marks an item whose buyers win at least 1 point more against that enemy than buyers of other items of its tier, after checking for chance, over 21 days: ★ all pools every hero's buyers, ★ The Doorman is The Doorman players only.
The 8 clearest changes in what The Doorman players buy, across every enemy. Pick enemies above the board to see one lineup.
Lifts compare how often The Doorman players buy an item in games against a hero with how often they buy it otherwise, over 21 days, with the build's usual items set to ×1 and small samples pulled towards ×1. Cells need 200 buyers. Several enemies are combined from separate match-ups (a weighted average of their lifts), not games against that exact team.

What you hold, minute by minute 7 days
Each band is one item: the share of The Doorman games still going at that minute that hold it. The bands stack, so the top edge is the whole inventory. Press play, or drag the slider, to watch a game fill up. Hover a band for its numbers.
At 45:00 you'd typically hold
Estimated from when players buy and sell; assumes what they buy doesn't depend on how long the game will last. Hatched minutes rest on fewer than a quarter of games. The 12-item line is where the base slots are full and flex slots start.

Bar heights compare how often items are bought within a phase; fewer items are bought late, and the row underneath shows how many games last that long. Win rates are adjusted for the buyer's souls at purchase, so players who are already ahead don't make an item look better than it is; they still describe, not prove.
