Two Dota 2 players from Germany, one mascot with too much strength and a growing pile of free tools.

Why we build Dota 2 tools

We play a lot of Dota 2. And we kept opening wikis, forum threads and ten browser tabs to answer small questions: when does Roshan come back, which spells go through BKB, what is my Friend ID, is this item worth it right now?

So we started building the tools we always wanted ourselves: one question per tool, answered fast and visually, free and without a login. Below every tool there is a guide that explains the details.

How we work

  • Real game data. Hero, item and patch data comes from Valve's official Dota 2 data, match numbers from OpenDota, rules and lists from Liquipedia.
  • Nothing invented. If we cannot back a number, it does not go on the page.
  • Tested everywhere. Every tool gets checked on desktop and phone before it goes live, and fixed when a patch changes something.
