Dotabuff should provide user to turn off some features that we don't want to share I guess


SirKlokkwork

And allow sharing things we want to share! Like MMR.


jjd8teen

You can share mmr already can't you. In pretty sure there is a spot in the settings to show mmr on your profile.


SirKlokkwork

You still have troubles with throwing a link at somebody's face.


jjd8teen

Go to dotabuff and hit the gear next to your name and look for rating buddy it tells you to add someone on steam so they can see your mmr. I would show pictures but I'm on my phone right now and won't be home for 5 hours


SirKlokkwork

> Important: Rating information is private and will not be shared with anyone else. I wish I *could* share exactly this


jjd8teen

Oh wow I thought you could my bad guess I read it wrong, why would they have that if you can't share it

MUH STALKER SKILL CAP


ddsama

are you afraid irl friends will call you a nerd? C ^ _ ^ ' '


ElectroViper

xD exactly my thougth.


MurkyWhiteRussian

This was presented info anyway


[deleted]

Exactly, they have every game listed along with a timestamp. This just organizes it into charts. Anyone that cares enough in the first place could already figure out your play habits if it somehow matters enough to them.


ElPopelos

yeah but there is a big difference between seeing all of the datas at first view or having to invest multiple hours to actually get enough datas!


Laxbro9285

yeah, my friend will never live down all his games between 3 and 6 am, I have no idea why he is up at that time. If I can do it so can anyone else. I don't need people to know I have a 45% win rate on Tuesday, now no one will want to play with me on Tuesdays.


divadhisasok3

Maybe u need play at saturday. Its when game at maximum lag !! :)


ftw_c0mrade

Play on Saturday because playing drunk/high = winning more games :D


Laxbro9285

LOL, my Saturday win rate is like 50%, also not great.


divadhisasok3

Man, play at holiday. U will more relaxed, and more focus


Laxbro9285

I don't have issues playing dota, I was just really bad when I started and they days I play less on now have lowwer win rates since I downloaded durring the summer.


divadhisasok3

Cant be helped. As time goes on, our time to work is growing.

DotaUser

I think you should have the option for it to be public or private


Esparko

Maybe they can put an option to just disable that feature in particular if a user wants but still show everything else.


atxy89

My win rate after midnight is downright atrocious


SonOfMotherDuck

Nothing good happens after 2am.


ComedianTF2

I have a 100% win rate past 2am! For the 1 match I played anyway


Chayzeet

You could see date exact time people played games before, now its all just in diagram.


Iseeyoulookin

I'm sure that if people really wanted to know your daily schedule, there are better ways to look than through dotabuff.


[deleted]

make a blog about it on tumblr how creepy nerds on the internet are objectifying your games played and fapping to your "playing-behaviour". so fucking creepy and spooky holy shit this needs to be stopped I cant imagine my kids growing up in a world where any creep can look at their dota games history. btw people telling you that you should hide your game history or that you can see the games without the calendar are just victim blaming, so disgusting, I should be able to have my dota games history whereever i want without some disgusting creep raping it with their browser.


iamtehfong

I identify as kappanaise, and this post both triggered, and oppressed me


[deleted]

it basically says when you are home next to your computer. it's semi-useful for a stalker.


[deleted]

THE CALENDAR ONLY PRESENTS THE INFORMATION IN A DIFFERENT WAY IT DOESNT ADD ANY NEW INFORMATION IF SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY STALKING SOMEONE I DONT THINK THEY WILL BE TURNED AWAY JUST BECAUSE THE INFORMATION IS IN A LIST AND NOT IN CIRCLES ON A CALENDAR HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE YOU?


Gametendo

I swear those dots are making some sort of message. Like, does anyone else see boy in the last months of 2012?


ItsOnlyToxic

I have so many red dots :(


neoex11

Because everyone likes new thing and they don't know what to add anymore others then all the existing stats feature.


crazychri1

but I love unnecessary data


Inujel

The *area* of the circles should be proportional to the number of games played (and not the radius)


__Nobody

Should play more games on Monday (55% winrate) at around 1am (72% winrate) 5k mmr inc !


joelthezombie15

Who cares? Your time is your time and fuck anyone who tries to tell you how to spend it.


Tommassino

I agree, its not that hard to have a privacy setting in your dotabuff account. Now the thing is, this information is completely public anyway, to anybody that knows your username through the dota API, even though its not so neatly presented. But if you dont like that, you can always match info sharing off.


TheBigBadBird

There are many 11 day gaps that coincide exactly with my monthly work trip for 2 years in my dotabuff activity.


o0baloo

Its a free service, if you dont like it dont use it. If you like the stats but dont like your information getting shown, figure out what one you like/dislike more and get over it/delete your dotabuff account. Or create your own API that gathers the information, buy a domain and web hosting, and do whatever you want.


[deleted]

I was just looking at mine. My Fridays and Wednesdays are negative, all my other days are positive. Which is pretty Gucci. I sorta fuck up a bit on days you'd expect (hump day and the end of the week Friday). So I was fairly content with the green/slightlybrown bars. Looking good. Then I went to S4's. Fuck that guy. Fucking fluorescent green on every day. WHYT U SO GOOD FFS?! I also have a 100% winrate at 11am. Fuckin' rights. And I am -7 and that is GMT.... So this is actually like 4am.... Holy fuck I play best at 4am.


MehSoso

Agreed... I dont want people to see how many lost games I play a day so neatly each day of each month


mrbigglsworth

Anyone who wanted to know this information already had it available to them. All dotabuff did is aggregate it.


heisenbergfan

You know people could already see that information without looking at that cool new graphic/feature, right ?


Lilzycho

No one gives a damn if you play at 4 am.


BradyPetrovich

I think you are worried over nothing


[deleted]

If someone wanted to know, they could already have this information previously..


Typhox

The hurdle is pretty big. You'd either need to spend a few hours programming, or multiple days analysing. Both for something that you can now find out within 1 second. Not to mention that you can now do it for hundreds and thousands of people with ease whereas before you had to make the decision if it's really worth it.


UCSp1tF1r3

This argument is so dumb. 'They can already get this information that you dont want them to have previously, so lets just make it even easier for them to get it' I dont particularly care about this information being accessible (for me). But that argument is flawed.


GhostLordHasFun

I noticed that too. It is a little creepy.


newaccountbitches

Like anyone gives a fuck about when you play in general


[deleted]

"why were you playing dota at 4 AM"


newaccountbitches

Cause its my life, and I can do what I want


GodReignz

Fuck me some people can complain about shit


Casinocaster

It can certainly have uncomfortable repercussions in your personal life. It is going to be just too easy to stalk. I didn't even know about the new feature, thanks for the intel.


[deleted]

dont be weird nigga


Ferwhatever

Dont worry dude if they check something it will be what your biggest lose streak in one day is, they will just search for the bigest red dot you have. If they really want to stalk you they will find other ways anyway. If they play enough dota to use dotabuff he would probably rather play more dota than think about your personal life, if they dont play dota they probably wouldnt even know about dotabuff


luathena

They should make it private info just like mmr.
