I've never used that website. Their shut down will not effect me but I can understand why people loved it. It was their mistake to announce rating. There is a reason why Valve hides MMR. Maybe it's not final version yet or maybe they won't reveal it at all. Either way, DB acted like they can parse whatever they want and manipulate those parses however they please. Their agitation for community to contact with Valve or IceFrog and spam their mails etc...Very low.

I thought they were going pretty well but once all profiles set to private by default that means samples parsed will be decreased dramatically. I really doubt most of casual players change their privacy setting to public. So it really means Valve shut them down.

I love Drow, I play her almost every time I queue up with me team. She is nice because of the slow+buff+silence and evil damage. I almost never get nuked down asap in teamfights so I can just stand still and nuke the shit out of them and make our team win. I'm level 14 so that might be why. She is damn fun to play, I wish WR was better because she is pretty awesome aswell to play she just doesn't scale well enough.

WR is way to good for my liking.
Its one of the heroes that are the most continous used heroes in higher games and professional games, she was never bad if I think back... shackle shot on two was always 3.75 seconds if I remember correctly, Windwalk was strong too always.
Ironically I'd say WR is one of the better-balanced heroes. If she doesn't build as a carry, she has trouble staying relevant past like 30 minutes (or whenever Powershot stops being significant, whichever comes first), and even if she does, she doesn't scale well.
Windrun is easy to deal with; only lasts a couple of seconds and some attack modifiers like Bash will still land the hit if the coinflip works. Windrun also only works against physical, she's still plenty easy to blow up with spells.
She's a good all-around hero, but she suffers from not really excelling in any area. There are better stuns, better nukes, and better escape mechanisms.
But there is one thing she has, versatility, thats where she excells and why she is picked for 2 years continously in competetive play.
The only thing that hidden profiles should affect is DBR considering you can get data in other ways.
She has greater chance of survival compared to most heroes. I am not sure how you categorize it as "easy to deal".
Off-topic: Artificial Intelligence has nothing to do with shackle fail-success calculation. You are using wrong term.

Even professional players who we, naturally, assume to have better reaction time can not avoid it. Are you sure it's easy? shackle shot will always have initialization advantage if player finds an opportunity. That's how we see good shackles even in professional games.

Yeah it's the wrong term, but it's fuckload faster to type than "shackle calculation angle."
And she's probably harder to kill than, say, Clinkz. If you tag her with a stun, she's probably dead - either Windrun runs out before the stun ends, or she's already pretty much dead before she can even use Windrun.
Windrunner is a weak hero. She is picked because she is hard to catch up to early game, but like many other ints so loses significance past 30 minutes.
Even her offlane, which she is loved for, is fairly terrible. Plenty of heroes can zone her while an ally freezes the lane, some heroes can flat out kill her.

Troll can literally permastun a hero to death and can do it at a much earlier point in the game than void. He can jungle and he can solo rosh at 11, maybe sooner depending on his farm. With an item like shadow blade he can kill most heroes before they can fight back.
Troll is probably top 3 hardest carry heroes in the game. With items you are dead the second he gets into melee range no matter what hero you are.
@Manni
I don't disagree, I'm just stating that WR is a lot weaker than she appears.

Troll is damn prick with his Melee toggle, he farms pretty fast and is generally a nuisance to deal with.
While I personally dont like Shadow blade at all its shitty for anyone if that Troll pops out of stealth and smashes your skull in.
