Does it only record the item if it was in your inventory at the end of the game?

Yep, hence why the low MMR trash tier scrub who linked the midas win rate for Enchantress made a useless argument. I always hang on to my midas late game, gotta keep that attack speed yo.

That's not exactly how the Dotabuff item thing works. It counts items at the END of a game. So yeah, people lose games with Midas etc, but the games they are winning they would have sold their Midas in favour of another item. Clearly people lose games with Midas if that's one of the last items you still have it your 6 slot.

That is exactly how we just said it works I think?
 
I think the other problem with those stats is that some items are generally only affordable if you are already winning, like the Enchantress' Bloodstone. In my experience this isn't something which is bought 'early' (or even mid) game as there are other priorities.

Yet late game when cash is more readily available - its a nice to have - but by that point the games have generally turned one way or the other already.

The best example is divine rapier, with a >90% win rate.
 
Dota2 is one of my favorite games of all time, however, at times it can be very infuriating!

I consider myself to be able to pick heroes that compliment a lineup, but sometimes, I feel like breaking the mould and Randoming!

First match tonight, I randomed clinkz. GREAT, not played him in a while. then we get Drow, CM, Invoker and lich. against a very good lineup. defeated as I knew we would be, for lack of diversity and stuns in the team.

next match happened again but I random Tiny, everyone else picks strength heroes. SK, Doom and Ember. Lose that match as we were outpicked.

I really can't fathom how people pick sometimes, no doubt I'm going to abuse the chat afterwards for a quick rage vent. but my God, can't there be some sort of intelligence test before playing this game :O. or Anti russian barrier :D
 
That didn't last long!

Wonder what's in 6.81, must be some big buffs for the 'soon to be favourite' heroes :o

Also, I finished my placement games. With a fantastic win rate of 2-8 in the 10 games, I still managed a 2802 MMR.
No idea how, I'm still a terrible scrub, was expecting 2-2.5k. Happy :D
 
I wish I never did the calibration games so early :(

I just played a game where PA went AFK for 5 minutes, 7 minutes into the game (so abandon), came back and decided to call people noobs. "Going AFK doesn't make me a noob".... I'm sorry are we playing BF4 here or something only I assumed being out of a lane for 5 minutes and getting no XP is basically a game breaker.

Calibration matches begin at your unranked MMR, so unless the concept of "omg noob team holding me back" doesn't apply to unranked MMR then the timing of your calibration matches are unlikely to make a huge difference.
