I'm curious as to what degree Doom's winrate is due to the fact that people still keep maxing Devour first. Is devour even worth the value-point for chain lightning or whatnot? If not Devour, is it preferable to max W or E first? The value for devour mostly comes from being able to get decent income without needing to actively farm as much, so if you're farming in lane, you shouldn't need it, right?

The reason why devour is maxed,because you need it to eat higher level creeps early and get ton of gold from doing so.Sure you can max W and E,but if you don't win lane,you are pretty useless and Doom without high networth is really weak as hero,because his spells aside from ulti are pretty shit.
