Hi All,
just want to know if any of you use any addons and if yes what and where can I get them?
Generally just asking to improve my game, I played wow for 11 years with no addons, last year I used a pvp addon and it improved my game drastically
if there is such thing as addons for HoTS?
thanks
I dont think theres any such addons in here…
If there r, i will b surprised and feel idiotic not to know and use such
I’ve always wondered if there were addons for Hots. I like the idea of a handy drafting tool that’s for sure.
Do mobas even have such things? I dont think they do. I’ve never heard of any.
PvP games rarely involve these, unless its automated text chat lines. These tools are very often close to a cheat in its effect and because of that only the most basic ones are usualy allowed (like buy scripts in counter strike that also tell the info to the team, or messages in tf2 that your ubercharge is charged).
Anything that however gives more information than the other that couldnt be manualy done is usualy already consired a cheat. And since you cant bind text lines in this game, i think even those things are going to be considered a cheat.
If there is 1 moba that has these, its dota2 due to using the source engine which is script friendly and usualy allows these binds to take place, but im also certain that they do not allow plugins (except maybe for automated demo recording).
(i dont play dota, so i dont realy know what is available, but i know CSS and TF2 and its scripting options there)
Nothing in-game, but there is HotSLogs replay uploader, which can give you some information on who you are playing with and against, but it doesn’t automatically detect the game mode you are playing and also minimizes the game window during loading, to open the info in a browser tab.
Also the stats aren’t updated after every match but rather daily. If you’re an addict like me you probably have a bunch of replays to upload, so I recommend leaving it running while you sleep, otherwise you’ll suffer latency issues during gameplay.

Would a drafting tool be considered cheating though? The Hots player base struggles with learning the finer elements of the game. This is especially true in drafting which is fundamental for ranked. Would a tool that helps people draft by map, team synergy or counter play be broken or cheating?
It would entirely depend on what the tool does. Since if it for example uses a 3rd party site to gain statistics, it in theory could already give an unfair advantage. At the same time, if it only would look at the profiles of your teammates and take the top 5 heroes and give you that information, it would just save some time there.
Idealy such information should be given to the players much easier anyway (somehow marking popular heroes of your teammates and enemies), but thats sadly not the case.
But even then, its still down to blizzard to decide what truly is acceptable, and i suspect nothing is allowed there.
But personaly, i think that such draft information could also be made into a website where people can just alt tab between the windows. And in such case, i would consider it acceptable (because for example hotslogs isnt 100% accurate anyway, so such draft tool most likely also isnt).
while that kind of information is technically available to everyone (e.g. googling “[map name] best heroes”), i think it could still be considered an unfair advantage to have it pop up automatically in-game, without any effort on the player’s part. even if the effort of googling is small, it’s still a form of research imo
On this topic…I literally cannot believe that you can’t heal an ally portrait along the top (e.g., hover-Q as Malfurion). That is ridiculous in the swirling melee of a team fight.
there are none so dont look to much around for them.
