Valve takes action against notorious Dota 2 profile sniffer after players cry foul

Valve has put a stop to an Overwolf add-on that allowed Dota 2 players to gain an edge in matches by checking their opponents’ most-played heroes. The program had previously raised concerns among community members who considered it cheating.

The addon was operating in a gray area as it was using publicly available data to provide draft assistance. While this let players detect smurfs and act accordingly it also led to beginners not getting to play their favorite heroes for a long time.
