They should just give you raw stats and nothing else.


Ya my "best" hero is Ancient Apparition who the only time that I played him recently, we got raxed at like 18 minutes, and I just sat in the fountain throwing out ultimates.

The performance only seems to be since the shadow demon patch, as I have only a handful of bars

Well I just played two of the baller-est Chen games of my life and my bar on him is nearly maxed so fuck yea! Nothing like a 12 min mek and then solo killing the opposing Lycan.

Tbh though, I think the hero performance thing is a little odd. It seems like it takes stats all across the board of different players at your skill level playing that specific hero then find where you lie. So I guess it can kind of give you an idea. I think it has some truth to it though, my sand king win rate is over 75% and my windrunner is about 30% but my windrunner (my better hero) bar is higher than my sandking bar. I think if they work with it, it will be a cool way to measure yourself.

Enchantress, VS, and POTM are my best heroes according to the graph, which seems pretty accurate. My top 3 heroes only reach the second line though, I'm so trash lololol. My worst hero is Chen and it's only a few pixels less than my Enchantress. It's gonna be fun watching it evolve, whether it's actually a good representation or not.

I hope they add a bunch of stats and stuff in your profile, not because it means anything, but just because I like to look at stats.

I had a questions regarding QB. I random almost all of my games, so if I random a melee carry that extra gold is usually spent on a QB... Is it a bad habit to get used to last hitting with quelling blade, and if im trying to get better at the game should I just consider skipping it?

No, it's not a bad item. Last hitting is relative to your skill as well as your opponents because of denying and harassment. It's just as useful to a good player as to a bad player.

Depends on what role you want to learn. If you want to play a hard carry player you could keep it. If you plan to play semi or below I would skip it since you will be forced to use the money on other stuff due to lacking 2 supports on your lane.

I'd consider myself decent at last hitting i guess, but sometimes if I don't have a QB I have some really shitty starts, I think maybe just too used to always having it.... or maybe i jsut need to get it 100% of the time im playing melee carry lol.

Honestly, I don't think that QB is the best use of that random gold.

Consider that randoming means that you have a 250 gold advantage, that lets you buy something that gives you the potential to crush your lane--something that gives you more stats or MS or something to bully the enemy laner around. Such items are often also going to make lasthitting easier for you anyway by giving you more stats. Stuff to consider: Poor Man's Shield, Gauntlets/Bracer, Boots.

Hmm im never really sure what to start with. If playing a farming melee carry that I want to get PMS on(AM/Void/etc, depending on what ill be laning against) i usually start with QB, stout shield, 1x slipper of agility, 2x tangos. And if iim planning on going vanguard, i.e. spectre, I usually start with QB, stout shield, 2x tango, 3x branches. This is all with random gold of course. Should I be changing my starting items?

If you have random gold I think getting QB is fine, it does allow you to "crush" the lane somewhat, because you can last hit really well and you can still afford the stout because of the extra gold.

I think your starting items are fine, consider mixing in 1xtango, 1xsalve instead is the only other thing I would say.

My favorite build when randoming is 3x circlet 1x primary stat item 1x branch and 1x tangos but that might just be me >_> Probably not good on melee though, I'd probably go PMS with salve or something.

randoming the support hero you want to play is the greatest thing in the world.

Apperently my 6-1 Beast master warrants no bars while my 0-3 puck is my 3rd highest rated hero? I'm terrible with Puck O.O

I'm glad to see them putting importance on the bots side. Maybe they'll be good enough someday.
