## What is Draft Addiction for Dota 2?

Tired of losing matches before they even start? Draft Addiction turns your phone into a drafting coach — the kind of counter-pick and item-build guidance PC players get from desktop overlays, now in your pocket. And with the Live lobby, you know who you're up against the moment your match is found: every player's medal, main heroes, recent form and smurf warnings.

SCAN THE DRAFT — DON'T TYPE IT
Other drafting apps make you type in hero names one by one while the pick timer runs down. Draft Addiction reads the entire draft bar through your camera in one look. No shutter button, no searching through 120+ heroes — just point your phone at the screen and the draft is captured in seconds.

DRAFT LIKE A PRO
• Aim your camera at the pick screen — heroes are recognized automatically
• Pick your side and get a ranked list of the best counter picks right now, based on up-to-date counter and synergy win-rate data
• Tap any recommendation for a full item build per position (1–5) with win rates
• Recognition runs on our servers and gets better for everyone — no app update needed

KNOW YOUR ENEMIES — LIVE LOBBY
Link your Dota profile and add our Steam bot as a friend once. The moment your match is found, the app shows everyone in it:
• The match's average MMR
• Every player's medal, main heroes and recent games
• Win and loss streaks, one-trick and smurf warnings
• Who you've played with or against before
• Pick suggestions from your own hero pool
Players who keep their match data private stay anonymous.

MATCH HISTORY & STATS, EVERY GAME
Turn on public match data in Dota and link your profile with just your Friend ID — no login, no password. Every game you play from then on lands in the app:
• Your averages, win-rate trend and form on every hero — last 20 games, 90 days or all time
• Open any match: win odds against the draft's prediction, how each lane went and the fights that turned it
• Compare anyone in the lobby minute by minute — net worth, last hits, damage, support gold, wards and stacks

ENERGY & FEED PUDGE
Scans, extra roles and item builds run on energy. It refills by itself over time, and when you want more right now, feed Pudge or watch a short video.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no sign-up. Camera frames are sent to our servers only to read the draft and are never stored, unless you explicitly opt in to contribute training photos. Linking a Dota profile is optional and only reads the public match data you choose to share. The free version shows ads from Google; where the law requires it, you choose whether they are personalised.

FREE & PRO
Scans and builds run on energy that refills for free, and the free version shows ads. Draft Addiction Pro gives you unlimited energy and no ads as an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage in Settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.5 — 2026-11-05

• Battle Cup games in Last matches now sit together under one header, with how your cup ended and the round of each game.
• Live lobby: anonymous players now show their Steam name, medal, all-time record and the games you've played with or against them.
• Live lobby: player slots no longer show a position icon. It was a guess from past games and often wrong; roles stay in each player's details.

### 1.5.4 — 2026-11-02

Small improvements and fixes.

### 1.5.3 — 2026-10-30

• A redesigned Pro screen.
• No more banner ads. The only ads are the optional videos you choose to watch for energy, and you're asked about ads only when you first pick one.
• "Match found" is now off until you turn it on in Settings → Notifications.
• Wins and losses in Last matches no longer break on small screens, plus other fixes.

### 1.5.2 — 2026-10-28
