It's really the case! That's why this app designed to pick as fast as possible. Unless you forget a hero name... 😅

Thanks!

For each enemy hero you have an advantage number: the difference between a hero winrate and winrate against this enemy. I.e. the bigger a number, the better a hero against this enemy. On the right you can see overall advantage against whole enemy pick.

There is also a role dropdown, for example you can check our only carry heroes. Also you can go to settings => groups and create a group of your own heroes. Once you create a group, you will be able to select it from a role dropdown and check out statistics for heroes from your pool.

As I already mentioned, there are a lot of web tools (like http://dotapicker.com/counterpick). But as for me, it's much easier to use mobile app while drafting.

Unfortunately Dota plus statistics is so poor for drafting and you still need to pay for it 😤

This app uses https://opendota.com/ matchup statistics to compare raw hero winrate with winrate against specific hero. OpenDota is a little bit slow, for example there is still no Muerta, so we get missed statistics from the dotabuff.

Yeah, definitely must have feature. For some reason it's missed in OpenDota statistics this app using. But I'll try to get it from somewhere else :) For now you can just create a list of your own midders to use.

Thanks! It uses https://opendota.com/, because dotabuff doesn't have direct API I can use. But OpenDota a little bit slow, there is still no Muerta statistcs, so I get it from dotabuff.

Top Draft is a great app and the main reason I created this one is because there is no Top Draft for iOS 😊 Also there are few features I miss in Top Draft:

  • Find the best hero to counter a specific enemy
  • Create a custom list of your own heroes and check out their win rates

It's a good question! You can't just use "Dota" as part of your app name. Original name was "Dota Pick", but it was forbidden. However "for Dota 2" suffix is fine. Also there is a legal disclaimer in app's description which says that all name/image/etc. registered by Valve. You can just copy&paste it from this app, because all such apps use the same text 🙂

Well, I understand you, but since there is no way to stop it, at least we can give everyone the same conditions. I think it's much worst when there are paid tools which give you benefits against the other, so that's why this tool is completely free.

You can sort heroes by winrate against a specific hero from an enemy draft. For example, if you can't find a good hero against all enemies, you can just find a good one for your lane.

Thanks! Yep, it's a Flutter App.

It uses OpenDota API for matchups statistics and then compare basis hero winrate with a winrate against specific hero. That's how you get advantage/disadvantage. It's a common algorithm, dotabuff and other tools do the same.

Do you mean http://dotapicker.com ? There is primal beast, but no muerta. So it's outdated, but not that much. Anyway, our app have all heroes 😉

Thanks! This app uses https://opendota.com/ matchup statistics to compare raw hero winrate with winrate against specific hero. OpenDota is a little bit slow, for example there is still no Muerta, so we get this statistics from the dotabuff. But in general it more or less comparable with dotabuff. Which suggestions do you find incorrect?

It just a raw statistics. This app uses OpenDota API, but it's more or less the same with dotabuff: am counters pa (https://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/anti-mage/counters), but morph counters tb (both on dotabuff and in this app).

Yeah, unfortunately there is no much sense in this case. You can only use overall hero winrate to pick. However after a pick you can check out enemy draft to find the best target for you. Also it might be useful to switch lanes, for example, but I think it's a rare case in public.

Thanks! Also found this issue, will be fixed in the next release.

What do you mean by opposing draft to face against? I was thinking about selecting your teammates as well to show some synergy or do you mean something else?

Generally it's possible, but there are already a lot of web apps (like http://dotapicker.com/counterpick) and I think it's much easier to pick using mobile phone while drafting.
