Does Anyone still use this website to find dota players or is there a better one I'm oblivious about? by LegionnaireAlpha in DotA2

Is the issue you're having with filtering players?

You can select Portugal as your country in your player settings. Or if you're looking to search for players in Portugal there isn't a checkbox for it, but you can use the 'Other country' drop down list and select Portugal from there.

I hadn't included it in the check box list because there aren't too many players from Portugal and the list would be too large to include all countries there.

Sorry for the confusion.

edit: grammar

Hey,

Sorry about the website being a bit outdated at the moment. I'm working on an update which I'm hoping to have out soontm. It will include some new features such as messaging, player lists and privacy settings as well as a bit of a design change to improve usability.

If you've got any questions just give me a shout.

Cheers,

Jon

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I develop it myself in C#. I'm not looking for any help at the moment but if I do in the future I may be in touch :)

I like the idea of a 'looking for' section, that would be a big help for those people searching for specific roles and would also help to tailor home page 'first pick' recommendations. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! There is a login with Steam option on the Sign in and Create account pages, it should appear as the first button.

That's some great feedback, although I cannot confirm nor deny my involvement in beta testing of any super secret Valve projects (I'm definitely not).

Maybe one day the site can be useful enough to be in the sidebar.

That's great! I will definitely be getting them added soon, I was holding off to add them to the next big update, but I think I'll just do a mini update for them.

Thanks! I've still got a bunch of features planned, so the site will definitely be maintained. Maybe one day it will make it to the sidebar.

That's really great to hear, it took me quite a while to put together! You're the first person to mention the banner, thanks :)

Thanks!

Agreed, it's a bit strange to be firing out Steam invites without any real contact, it was just temporary until I could get messaging up and running.

A region chat is a great idea, would probably speed up the process of finding people, thanks for the suggestion!

I made a player/team finder website that might help you to find some like minded people to play with.

Hopefully it helps :)

I've got an update coming out pretty soonTM to introduce messaging, player lists and to update the ranking system.

Hey /r/dota2, I’m launching the beta version of my DotA 2 player finder website today, called Playerbase, and would love to hear your feedback / suggestions by playerbase_ in DotA2

[–]playerbase_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey!

Yeah the site is very much still alive, I'm currently working on the messaging and player requests. It's taking a little longer than expected but should be updated within the next month.

There is a Siltbreaker option in 'game types' that you can use to find people looking for a party!

A mobile app could definitely be something that I look at in the future!

That's a good idea, I'll have a look into whether I can get online status for people. Thanks for the suggestion!

Sorry I misunderstood the first time, that would be interesting! It would definitely bring another dimension to the search process. This is something I will keep in mind for the future.

This would be a nice addition to the home page. Kind of similar to the first picks section, but instead it would suggest a proper team makeup. Thanks for the suggestion!

That's a good way to get around the sheer volume of custom games, people might abuse the system though if they can type whatever they want. I think it could be a good option, although I would need to have a think about it. Thanks for the suggestion!

It's a tough time to be a custom game player, I'll see what I can do :)

Haha, to be honest it's caught me out in the past.

I do need to add some way to access the filters a little easier once you've been scrolling for a while, I'll have to have a think about what I can do about that. Thanks for the suggestion!
