Picking and Drafting is a challenging task in Dota 2: Dotapicker helps you drafting better to improve your Dota 2 matchmaking experience.
Introduction: What is DotaPicker?
Currently are more than Dota 2 108 heroes available in the game, it is almost impossible to keep all of them in mind when making a pick. Picking in Dota 2 is all about the pros and cons inside a matchup. Countering the enemy is key for the offense as well as for the defense.
The human body has limits, which leads to poor decision making. It has been seen even at the professional level where some teams could not draft well, which resulted in their defeat.
Dota 2 Picking Decisions based on Data:
Because of these facts it’s useful to have a helping hand that is is based on data:
DotaPicker is a counter picker web application, specially designed for Dota 2. 
It is one of the most efficient hero counter picker applications available. It deduces results from previously calculated statistical suggestions from millions of matches.
The match data gets directly collected via the Steam Web API.
The primary focus of DotaPicker is to pick a better hero for your team. It gathers information from the enemy hero picks and combines it with the synergy of your team. Moreover, it helps to select the most advantageous heroes in a given scenario. It is a single page application that allows you to view the results and counter pick your enemies during the drafting phase.
Bonus: It is not only beneficial in just drafting but also provides an opportunity by picking a hero outside from your comfort zone, that you usually would have never chosen. 😉
How to get started with DotaPicker?

DotaPicker will receive all your information and give you access to most of its features. Whenever you start a match, it will be connected automatically, and start giving you suggestions.
- Open Dota 2, select the settings and open the “options” tab.

- That’s it, give Dotapicker a bit time to connect. 😉

How to get Hero Suggestions
for the Drafting Phase:
To simply start using the Dotapicker tool, add heroes to the enemy team, to your team or if you haven chosen the CM mode, to the ban heroes:
After adding a few heroes to your team and the enemy team, the Dotapicker algorithm is able to suggest specific heroes. Here you can see that Drow Ranger, Riki, and Earthshaker are good candidates for the team to play vs Antimage and Bane:
You can do that for yourself and as a captain in cm-mode. If you want to suggest heroes for random allies click alt and on the specific hero to send a notification of that hero in the chatbox. That hero portrait will also be highlighted!
The suggestions are calculated statistically from the raw data of millions of matches. Two different modes come with suggestions, each having plenty of benefits. You might:
- Use a win rate over advantages. This mode will suggest you the most played heroes from current meta and increasing your chances of winning.
- Use advantages over the win rate. It recommends a much bigger hero pool and allows you to improve and learn something new.
Extensive Dota 2 Drafting Guide:
Because of the complexity of drafting, I recommend this tutorial to be aware of what is really important when playing an All-Pick or Captains-Mode match.
If you get good at drafting and picking, you will climb the ranks ladder faster. 🙂

- Early games are matches which finish before 20 min mark, mid games last until 40min, and above that are all considered late games.

Dota 2 Hero and Team XP
Advantage Graph:
This graph represents the heroes and their impact at a certain point in the games.
Each line shows the XP advantage that the hero brought for his team at a particular moment in-game. After analyzing thousands of games, it can mathematically deduce the most accurate results.
It is beneficial in improving your playstyle and learning new ways to get more XP for your team.

Dota 2 is a much more complex game than one can imagine. It takes a lot of time to understand and implement your plans.
DotaPicker is not flawless, but it certainly is beneficial when it comes to improving your gameplay.
You might not like it at first, but it is definitely worth giving it a shot. After a few games, you will see results, data wins vs. the human brain. 😉
