IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

aww damn. I liked the idea of being able to check dotabuff for other metrics that the in-game client does not show.

Apparently Valve didnt shut it down immediately but DB did it deliberately to cause more drama, a post of cyborgment from reddit:

Valve has completely taken away our current method of gathering data.

they seem to disagree.

They just need to change their method of getting the data, they couldn't do stuff like skill builds and dbr than, but the main functions would still work

They only shut down the DBR part. They could do the same statistics they use to with the current API. Just plain sensationalist title to grab attention

How do you know just DBR? It doesn't allow access on the rest of the previous features right now.

Man, I feel like shit now. Just lost my team a game because I tunnel visioned too hard.

AR mode, we got Chen/Lina/SK/Dazzle/Rhasta (me) vs Slark/Nigma/Mag/DS/Clock.

We were pushing the living hell out of them, by 20 mins we had taken all outer towers and lost none. By 25-30 mins we were regrouping after fighting at their t3 on mid, they push and they try to catch one of us off-guard. We manage to pick them off but I just blow the game by popping my wards to kill a retreating low health DS (wards only got 2 volleys in, DS ran out of range but our SK caught up and we could finish him off no problem). We follow up by marching down mid lane and trying to take down their t3, but our damage on towers is bad without my Mass Wards. We die with their tower at under 100 hp. All went downhill from that point.

If I wouldn't have blown my wards like that, they would have killed off the tower and their rax, or at least help us kill them (they barely lived).

According to one of the members of the site it would have to be entirely remade in order to use the web API. Saw that on reddit, and reddit downvoted it into the ground of course so I can't find it now.

Actually dotabuff can work just like it used to minus DRB, the only difference is you can't find people who have their privacy on.
They can STILL find data about most played heroes, their item builds and so on, individual players will just turn up as random numbers if their privacy is on.
Dotabuff is overreacting and trying to get people against valve for no fucking reason.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

They probably want public stats to sell premium accounts, because, as far I saw on reddit's pics, DotaBuff premium was based in DBR.

I know few people too. It's really what you prefer. Afaik, many pro HoN players also did that?

Well yes of course, using the API is completely different from their current method.

Their current method is also reverse-engineering and a big ToS gray-area.

How does that even work? You have your skill hotkeys on like q e r f? That sounds super clunky.
