Item Assistant

AI Disclaimer: the mod was developed with assistance of Claude Code as part of my workflow for analyzing panorama, testing, building and code validation.

Item Assistant - Data-Driven Item Recommender

An in-shop overlay that tells you what to buy, when to buy it, and what to build against the enemy team - powered by real match data.

Note: Recommended for beginners for live assistance with item choice instead of a L -> R build order, in any case consider pairing the mod with a build of your choice.

The mod scores every item live from a handful of signals, all trained on match data:

• Your hero - the base ranking is that hero's winning item tendencies (winner build-rate + model win-value)
• Souls - splits the list into buy-now (affordable) vs save-toward (dimmed); more souls also tilts the ranking toward higher tiers.
• Game time - display what winners buy throughout the whole length of the match. 
• Enemy hero comp - items that statistically over-perform into those specific heroes.
• Enemy's live purchases - a counters layer reads what the enemy team actually buys and promotes items that beat their build.
• Your current build - items that synergize with what you already own, owned items are struck off, and upgrade prices are discounted for components you hold.

Then a sort mode decides the emphasis: Popular (what most winners build), Win-Value (raw impact), or Efficiency.

Consider viewing the item display not as buy order but a ranking of the most relevant item to buy at your current souls count. For more help access the help button in the mod.

The mod utilizes the thousands of matches recorded in a publicly-availble database. Expect the mod to be frequently updated due to new balance updates and meta shifts, my goal is to update it once a week (or on new patch release), please consider using a Mod Manager for your convenience. 

Please, do not hesitate to leave feedback, bug reports or suggestions at the Deadlock Modding discord, channel 'mod-releases' -> this mods thread.
