How the score works

Novelty, not build strength

Compare. Check each core item against how often the hero's other OTPs buy it.
Qualify. At least 25% of the core build must be off-meta (minimum 2 items).
Score. 45% whole-core rarity + 25% top-package rarity + 20% breadth (how much of the core is off-meta) + 10% early deviation (unusual picks in the first four slots).

Deadlock one-trick players ordered by how unusual their item build is for their hero.
