Projects

We have created a number of projects to enhance the Dota 2 community. Below you can find details about the more mature projects.

Hero Drafter

With the addition of some new console commands to set the hero roster (5 heroes for each team + 2 extras), we are interested in creating experimental lobbies to test different drafting strategies.

Ability Drafter

Is a web application that specializes in Ability Draft mode. Providing stats on Ability and Combos. Also, your match history filtered and tailored to AD. As well, a drafting tool to help optimize and maximize your drafting strategy!

All Pick Team Coordinator

Often as the game moves on out of the early game you need to know what the strength of our team vs the enemy. Our Team Strength tool which team starts strong, which team ends strong, and when the point (if any) of interception is.

Ability Draft Twitch Extension

The Artifact Puzzle Builder

Every artifact player has played at least one puzzle even if they did not know it. The tutorial, or the the 2 forced matches when you first started playing artifact where set up as puzzles (In fact you can recreate that tutorial with this tool). A puzzle is a txt file that is loaded via the console in artifact where the player has a match against an AI where there is set broad state and set of actions for each turn for the AI.

Friends

We could not have done all this on our own. We had help over the years from members of the following communities.

Windrun.io

This site aims to be a tool to improve and evaluate Ability Draft gameplay: measuring the strength of heroes, guiding your drafting of abilities, and also tracking your performance after games.

OpenDota

OpenDota is a volunteer-developed, open source platform providing Dota 2 data. It provides a web interface for casual users to browse through the collected data, as well as an API to allow developers to build their own applications with it.

Dota 2 Wiki

A wiki is essentially a database for creating, browsing, and searching through information. The team over there has gone through great length documenting the details of the Ability Draft game mode.

Events

We not only build tools we host events to watch Dota 2, with our local community.
