[Dota] How to keep your stats up to date.

[Lord Scrambles]

So for those of you who use things like Dotabuff or other sites that keep track of in game statistics, you may notice that the information for certain players (including yourself) is often extremely out of date. You may also notice people being marked as "Anonymous." This is because Dota sets your matchmaking history to "private" by default, which limits stat tracking for 3rd party programs.

To fix this simply start up Dota 2. Then click on the settings icon (the little cog in the upper-left hand corner.) From there, click on the "game" tab, and then "general" sub-tab. At this point you should see a box that says "Share Match History." Just select "On" and you'll be good to go.

For reference, it looks like this.

P.S. Keep in mind, some sites may require that you verify your account/information before updating the actual stats.

Never pick a hero, just sit in the hero selection menu for the whole game.

No, you need to not even open the game.

Lol, just noticed:

It used to be Furi for months what I understand, but this made me smile.

Edit:
What makes it real funny that it was my first and only game with Bloodseeker by the way: http://i.imgur.com/wAr4fMs.png
