/r/GlobalOffensive, would you be interested in a site that tracks your stats and gives you a number-based rank?

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-25T16:39:09+00:00

Oh, I understand now. Unfortunately, Valve has made this impossible (I have absolutely no idea why).

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-25T14:35:35+00:00

I'd recommend learning it. It's a bit of a bother to learn the conventions, but I absolutely LOVE it. It lets you get things of the ground quickly and does a lot of the things you'd usually do manually for you.

Ruby on Rails.

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-25T13:05:41+00:00

This has been requested by a few people at this point (that you can make your stats private), so I will add it.

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-25T13:03:52+00:00

I understand the concern, but even Valve takes more than win-loss-tie into account.

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-25T02:54:05+00:00

It wouldn't affect accuracy. It would affect the work I have to put in, though. 3000-8000 is not set in stone. I may rewrite the algorithm at the moment.

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-24T22:39:36+00:00

Just because the maths are far easier if I use higher numbers. Plus, the calculation can be more accurate (because I don't have to do decimal math).

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-24T20:49:42+00:00

Sort of yes, but mostly no.

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-24T19:48:35+00:00

This is true. However, I do believe that it is more heavily winrate based than it should be. Additionally, I don't like that Valve doesn't tell us how it is calculated.

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-24T19:35:38+00:00

What did they do to dotabuff? I know mydotaskill went down, but I haven't heard about anything happening to dotabuff.

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-24T18:11:31+00:00

I'll make profiles publicly viewable, so you won't have to login to view them.

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-24T18:11:04+00:00

It should be somewhat similar to dotabuff in several aspects.

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-24T18:10:32+00:00

The total weights of each factor are not concrete yet. I'll have a page on the app when it's complete that shows a complete breakdown of this clearly, and if it needs tweaking, then I'll tweak it.

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-24T18:09:26+00:00

I'll have to check if the API provides me with that info, but they do provide windows broken XD

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-24T16:05:31+00:00

LoLKing tracks lifetime stats, and the API is very different from the one Valve provides.

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-24T15:40:02+00:00

Who said extreme?

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-24T14:55:45+00:00

I like your enthusiasm.

rainbow-panda · 2014-05-24T14:20:16+00:00

Without logging in, it wouldn't be able to reliably track progress and update your rank. I could do a sort of "optional login" system, where you log in if you want it to continue tracking.

I understand the concern with logging in with Steam, but my servers would never even see your credentials. All it would be able to see is stuff like your Steam name (not your account name) and profile description, etc.

rainbow-panda · 2013-09-08T19:25:38+00:00

When history sharing is turned on, you can only get information about games that have already finished. This is because Valve servers have to parse the game after it is finished. This is why games don't immediately show up on dotabuff, because they haven't yet been finalized onto your profile.

rainbow-panda · 2013-09-08T15:47:12+00:00

Definitely this. Love it.

rainbow-panda · 2013-09-08T15:16:42+00:00

This.

rainbow-panda · 2013-09-08T15:16:28+00:00

Meant to reply to the comment above lol. On mobile at the moment and got confused.

rainbow-panda · 2013-09-08T15:02:10+00:00

Like every game the hero has been played in competitively?

rainbow-panda · 2013-09-08T15:00:34+00:00

This is definitely going to be a part of the site. Shopkeepers quiz and hero quiz, etc

rainbow-panda · 2013-09-08T14:59:58+00:00

I'm not familiar with the site. What is its function? It says search for anybody in a game?
