    Alright guys it's been approximately one year that I'm a Dotabuff Plus subscriber and I wanna give my opinion about it.

    First things first : why did I get Dotabuff Plus & why should you ? (https://secure.dotabuff.com/plus)

    -TrueSight is THE main reason I got this. This tool allows you to analyze your game and understand what went wrong/good and also how you could have done better without the absolute necessity of watching the replay. This applies to anyone who is experienced in the game and knows how stats should look like when winning/losing.

    -Success : it's a hero related stat, gives you an approximate idea of how good you are at this hero especially when you compare it to results of your other heros

    -Hero rankings : this one is awesome and I'm really glad they added it, however I was a Plus User before that and it's not the main advantage from Plus Users that I like the most, it's still very interesting to compare yourself to other players but I think the system should start counting after 50 games as 30 looks a bit rough and many of my heros played ~30 times have a really good rank whereas I'm pretty sure if I play 30 more games their rank will go down.

    To sum up : Dotabuff plus is good to anyone who is willing to improve who is ready and willing to accept the judgement from Dotabuff "you're bad at this hero, you think you're good but you're not". You also quite some experience of the game to be able to use the data to improve and not only "oh look at 10 minutes this game I had 70 lasthits".

    Now let's move on to what, in my opinion, could be better:

    The main point in this is the "Played With Me" tab that Plus Users have access to. Honestly I don't know about others but I think this window is completely useless since you almost can't sort out the results, at least now how I'd like to sort them : you can't pick a lobby, you can't choose a bracket, you can't use a time limit, or choose a hero played, can't sort by patch ....

    Why is this bothering me ? I play a lot with a group of friends, especially one among them with whom I have almost 600 games played. And well I can't check games according to the hero I was playing, the hero he was playing, the duration of the game etc etc...... and that would give a lot of additional informations without too much work imo.

    Hero Rankings : I really liked this feature but I think limitating it to the first #100 players for each hero for free is too restrictive. People should be able to check their position on their 3 most played heros in my opinon, by people I mean everyone not just us Plus users.

    Truesight : Truesight is struggling these days because of the many API problems, is there any way to change that to get TrueSight data on the largest number of game possible ? Also eversince the rune change blue players gets all the runes according to TrueSight.

    Apart from that I really love TrueSight. I would like however Roshan attempts and takedowns to be added to the collected Data, aswell as rune covering if that is doable (if a hero is near a rune spawn when it spawns count it as rune covered)

    That's all I think of right now, what do you guys think about this feedback? What would you add/remove to my feedback? Help me make Dotabuff Plus an even better tool ;D
