How we pick these builds

We count every The Doorman game from October 6, 2026 to October 15, 2026 where the player had a published build selected when the match started (public match data via deadlock-api.com). Builds with fewer than 300 games are left out. The recommended build has the best win rate once smaller builds are pulled towards The Doorman's average, so a few hundred lucky games can't top the list. "Above average" means at least one point better than The Doorman's 46.6%. Builds are made and named by players; we hide names we wouldn't put on the site. Data updated October 15, 2026.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best The Doorman build right now?

"SN|P3R : Doorman’s Welcome v2" by SN|P3R. It has won 48.9% of 1,120 games, against 46.6% for The Doorman overall. The most played build is "Joechuck's DOOR MAXING: I dont like gun".

Where do these numbers come from?

Public match data (via deadlock-api.com) from October 6, 2026 to October 15, 2026: every The Doorman game where the player had a published build selected as the match started. Builds need at least 300 games to be listed.

Why does the page show fewer items than the build in game?

Authors list lots of options, so we show the 3 items per price step (800, 1,600, 3,200 and 6,400 souls) that The Doorman players buy most from each build: a 12-item path you can follow. The rest are under "Situational options", and the in-game version keeps the author's own order and notes.
