Question for Doom players.

[Blaze]

I'm just a casual player but wants to learn to get better but, why do Doom players likes to choose the Devil's Bargain facet? I've watched so many Doom games with that facet.

To me you just increase your buyback cost by 20%. Yeah, you can sell items for 90% of the cost but, how many times in one game do you sell your items?

Because Doom has a terrible early game. He needs all the early game items he can get.
And with the facet, he can sell those early items without losing momentum in getting bigger items.
Also if the enemy team does or builds something unexpected, you can switch to a different build easily.

The other two facets scale into the late game better, but would it matter if the early game was so bad that you lose anyways?

this^ you can buy bracers, blademail or even mana boots (until you get bigger mana pool), and sell it later
