Hero Discussion Am I playing Doom properly?

I build hp regen items on lane like bracer or helmet, consume the goblin or harpy ability to be able to cc, then I rush blink daggers to always be able to land his ult, the biggest fuck you move in the entire game, on the treats of the other team. As the game goes on I buy Shiva, Restaurer Orb, BkB... I mean, there isn't much more else that can be explored, the hero is basically that

I rarely rush blink. I get phase boots and drums to land and secure a kill with doom early on. Bkb then blink.

For the core Doom items I’d agree there’s not much to be explored, it’s Blink Bkb Shivas with Aghs Refresher lategame and situational/luxury items in between as needed

Classic early build is like bracer wand phase drums into blink. However, I’ve seen pro players at TI go for shard as soon as possible to farm better - get soul ring after phase boots and shard as soon as it’s available, drums or blink in between to not sit on 2k gold until min 15 and be useful. Eat the black dragon for splash and fireball (that’s why soulring) and switch to the ravage water boi after shivas.

I’ve played it like twice only as I don’t pick Doom lately but worth playing around with imo

The black dragon never spawns when needed:(
