FAQ
Where does the matchup data come from?
The live OpenDota feed — the official public Dota 2 stats API. Updated daily across millions of ranked games.
How seriously should I take a 1.5% diff?
At low ranks (Herald–Crusader) skill gap matters more than the matchup. From Ancient up, +3% is a noticeable edge. At Divine and above — every tenth of a percent counts.
Can you win against a counter-pick?
Yes. A counter-pick is a statistic, not a verdict. With the right build (see item counters above) and a save support you can claw it back. More — in "What are counter-picks".
Where do I get auto-combo for Elder Titan?
