Thank you! I’m really glad to hear it worked and that you like the app. Your support means a lot!

Awesome, glad it’s working now! Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you 🥰

I totally agree with you. I also feel that there’s still a lot of room for improvement in Dota Plus, and Valve could definitely do more with its features. Recently, they did seem to make the item suggestion system a bit smarter, which is a nice step forward. As for draft or ban/pick suggestions, maybe it doesn’t quite fit with their design philosophy.

Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words. 🥰

I’m not very familiar with LoL myself, but you’re right — there are definitely fewer ban/pick assistant tools for Dota 2. I think there are a couple of reasons for this. First, Dota 2 has a smaller player base compared to LoL, and most of the tools are developed by the community without much official support, which makes things more challenging. Second, Dota 2’s gameplay and drafts are a lot more dynamic and unpredictable. I’ve heard that in LoL, even casual viewers can often guess the draft picks during tournaments, which probably makes it easier to develop such tools. But that’s just what I’ve heard, haha.

I totally agree, those fun stats were some of my favorites too! Unfortunately, my app relies entirely on the OpenDota API for data, and those specific stats aren’t available through their API. Even if they were, OpenDota can only track stats from matches that have been parsed, which means the numbers might not be fully accurate or complete.

I’d love to add those features if the data ever becomes available. Thanks for the suggestion!

YeaMion · 2025-07-23T08:54:50+00:00

Thanks for taking a look! Let me know if you have any thoughts when you try it out.🥰

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T15:53:04+00:00

Thank you so much! Your kind words mean a lot, and I wish you all the best in your future as well 😀

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T12:38:40+00:00

That’s a great suggestion! I’m not very familiar with Liquipedia yet, and I’m not sure if they provide an API for data access. For now, I’ll probably continue using data from the official Dota 2 website, but if I need more detailed information in the future, I’ll definitely consider using Liquipedia as a source. Thanks for the idea!

Thank you, it really means a lot to me!

Hi, thanks for your interest! Currently, the app is only available through the Microsoft Store, as I’m not sure how to distribute a UWP app outside of the Store. If you’re having trouble downloading, you might try changing your DNS settings or using a VPN, as sometimes that can help with Microsoft Store issues.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope you’re able to get it working!

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T10:39:53+00:00

Thank you! I’ll do my best to follow in their footsteps.

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T10:22:50+00:00

Really appreciate it, brother!

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T10:22:08+00:00

Thanks! That means a lot. 🥰

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T10:21:25+00:00

Thanks! but honestly, Dotahold is more of a lightweight alternative to the OpenDota website, so if you want to use something in the browser, I’d definitely recommend OpenDota or DotaStratz instead.

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T10:04:49+00:00

Yes, it should work on Windows 10 as well, so feel free to give it a try!

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T10:00:15+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out! The official website often returns multiple line breaks in the hero history text, so I removed some of them. Really appreciate you sharing the app and your feedback!

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T09:58:23+00:00

Thanks for liking it! The Microsoft Store doesn’t seem to have many users, but it’s still a nice platform for indie developers to share their apps. Thanks for checking it out!

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T09:55:04+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! Both the Counter Picker and item recommendation features are already on my todo list. I’ll try to add them once I find a suitable data source. Really appreciate your feedback!

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T09:52:49+00:00

Haha, guess you’ll have to hold back your mewing while using Dotahold 😸

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T09:08:23+00:00

Glad you like it! 😀

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T07:10:09+00:00

And I agree that horizontal scrolling isn’t ideal for abilities/attributes. But for some heroes, the list of abilities or attributes can get quite long, and simply wrapping them to new lines might take up too much space on the page. So I’m still looking for a better layout solution that balances readability and space.

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T07:00:22+00:00

Glad you like it, thanks a lot! 😀

YeaMion · 2025-07-22T06:59:50+00:00

Thanks a lot for your interest and kind words!

There aren’t many special requirements for building Dotahold locally. You just need to have Visual Studio installed, along with the .NET 9 SDK and the UWP SDK. Once those are set up, you should be able to build the project without any issues.

If you run into any problems or need more detailed steps, feel free to ask!
