    Will it appear in stats? ^^

    Kel-Thuzad  DOTA2BESTYOLO...

      Why at "no stats recorded"?(((

      got 2 wins and had hope to increase winrate(

      Swizard

        I was wondering about this too, would be nice to see stats like HD and TD!

        BoJack

          lol u want to increase winrate by playing a FUN CASUAL mode? gtfo

          Kel-Thuzad  DOTA2BESTYOLO...

            why casual?

            all random seems like it too this way
            u can pick abilities, u can use it, u can think about enemies's abilities...

            and u have not any guides, it is individual

            seems like good games

            BoJack

              the mode is fun but is retarded, shouldnt count imo

              Alyosha

                It shouldn't count as part of the main stats
                HOWEVER I do believe special events and casual gamemodes deserve atleast a tab in match history (cough cough staff)

                Kel-Thuzad  DOTA2BESTYOLO...

                  i think it can be recorded in all time winrate stats.

                  yiran

                    Well, what you think is wrong.

                    Derby

                      though it does count wins ingame

                      Victor Wembenyama - Ede

                        that mode is complete bs

                        Dipshit

                          Yea, cuz this right here is seriously competitive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmECuKz2PK8

                          jess the goat

                            I had a match where I was 1 round away from getting Earthshaker passive and WD toggle heal then my teamate picked the heal and I left instantly, haha

                            Myfive

                              it's a game mode, dotabuff should reconsider this one and count

                              salt enjoyer

                                You guys are like the dumbest group of people I have ever seen.

                                "I hope to increase winrate" What? By playing a casual mode? Hey, why don't we allow wraith night games to count as well so you know, I could increase my winrate.

                                6_din_49

                                  And Diretide!!!

                                  Myfive

                                    ability draft is like ap, ar and etc. diretide and wraith night is not included. think about it. and -ad is not casual, you're still trying to win the game with fun tho imo

                                    Babadook

                                      Yeah bro and if they start counting these games after u are gonna start whinning about how imbalanced these games are..I ve seen this story before stop asking for idiotic things plox :)

                                      one and half gun

                                        ability draft is nothing like ap, ar and etc

                                        its a fun mode where you're meant to fuck around without it affecting your wins/losses/kda and so on

                                        Ska

                                          It's not a serious mode and it shouldn't count towards winrate, but if we should be able to see the Ability Draft that we played, and if possible see the abilities that all players drafted.

                                          ¬¬¬

                                            why does it not count on dotabuff if it counts in-game?

                                            Quick maffs

                                              I agree with wave, it shoudnt count for anything.

                                              Vaikiss`742.

                                                op u retard

                                                antero

                                                  it does count in the actual dota client, dunno why it wouldn't in dotabuff. i think valve's going to change it soon though

                                                  Swizard

                                                    Why? Actually picking good skills, keeping track of everything, is pretty high skill

                                                    Dipshit

                                                      Yea I'm sure balance comes down to a roll of a die all the time /eyeroll

                                                      dayvan

                                                        I don't know why does it count in the client for the overall winrate but not here. And I guess it does effect our hidden MMR as well.

                                                        I'd be more happy if it wouldn't count. Or don't say that this is a fun mode.

                                                          Today I had 3 of 4 games with early abandons. This is getting frustrating...

                                                          Pilot

                                                            It doesn't count in the client (Anymore I guess)

                                                            one and half gun

                                                              really?

                                                              Bob_002

                                                                The one thing that really chaps my ass about this mode is people drafting their hero. I've seen a number so far that will draft 3-4 of their heroes abilities. If you're going to do that, why not just play AP?

                                                                PRAYER

                                                                  Shouldnt count, in the same way diretide and shit like that doesnt cout. Its literally 0 skill involved and why would it record? its all about having fun.

                                                                  6_din_49

                                                                    The most annoying type of players are those who pick only defensive skills. Like this pudge: http://dotabuff.com/matches/493456676
                                                                    He took counter helix / frost armor / kraken shell / culling blade, went jungling and built only defensive items. Why would the enemies attack him? Most useless build ever.

                                                                    Bob_002

                                                                      Could he even kill anyone? I do remember one game where I had two abilities; think I had reactive armor and juxtaposition on Bristle.

                                                                      welp o mania

                                                                        Unless it was patched today, Ability Draft still is recorded as a win and towards games played. It does not record as a win in terms of your heroes though (so if you played Meepo, it does not add a W or L to hero stats).

                                                                        Dotabuff should record this since it's assumed that a W/L in this mode (since it's recorded) will affect your hidden MMR unless Valve officially says otherwise.

                                                                        Miku Fan

                                                                          I played weaver with Incapacitating Bite, Degen Aura, Shukuchi, and Insatiable Hunger. The enemy team couldn't kill me and they couldn't run away either.

                                                                          Myfive

                                                                            I agree. Dotabuff pls fix

                                                                            Arcanine ))

                                                                              Dota counts it. so Dbuff shoudl counts it too. I want same stats here and in Dota.... any next difference is bad for Dbuff bcs after some time. dbuff will be useles bcs here will be big, big differences ...

                                                                              Myfive

                                                                                yes it counts, maybe because mods don't know this. or doesn't know how to

                                                                                {trace}ϟBRAINFREEEEEZEϟ

                                                                                  Dotabuff at this please!

                                                                                  Dizzy

                                                                                    if dota 2 counts wins for this mode then so should dotabuff imo but i dont think this mode should count at all

                                                                                    Dire Wolf

                                                                                      Maybe it's not casual but it's soooo random and lopsided the stats won't mean anything.

                                                                                      6_din_49

                                                                                        Yeah, people making stupid builds might ruin your game. Like getting luna ulti without lucent beam. It's too easy to fuck it up from the start, because it's too easy to get random abilities.
                                                                                        In my opinion wins / loses should not count ingame either, but abbandons should.

                                                                                        This comment was edited
