Frequently Asked Questions

What is TrueSight? TrueSight is a match analysis platform for Dota 2. After your Dota 2 match completes, TrueSight automatically downloads the replay file and goes to work gathering detailed statistics far beyond what is normally available. Matches that have been analyzed with TrueSight have new tabs filled with additional statistics designed to help you get the most out of each match.

Why is this useful? The statistics and comparative views that TrueSight provides are designed to take the grunt work out of match analysis. Instead of downloading and queueing up the replay for your last match, simply navigate to the match page on Dotabuff. New page tabs such as "Kills", "Farm" and "Vision" show you a detailed summary of what happened. Additionally, each match has a detailed event log to help identify important events.

Who is this for? TrueSight was developed to satisfy the needs of hardcore players who review their matches, or players who don't review their matches due to a lack of time or energy. With TrueSight you can quickly understand what happened, identify areas for improvement and move on to your next match. It also provides a great way for friends or other community members to give feedback on your matches without needing to download the replay for themselves.

How can I have my matches analyzed with TrueSight? TrueSight automatically analyzes all tournament (Esports) matches, matches with one or more verified players and matches with one or more Plus subscribers. TrueSight analysis is publicly available for all tournament matches. Dotabuff Plus is required for analysis of your personal matches.

How long does it take for TrueSight to analyze a match? TrueSight automatically begins downloading and analyzing your matches as soon as they are played. Because it uses both the Dota 2 API and Dota 2 replay servers, match analysis is subject to their availability. Normally match analysis should only take a few minutes. It could take longer if the Dota 2 network is experiencing difficulties.
