About

Next time there is a patch released and you want to quickly see what your favourite heroes’ changes are, or if they nerfed a broken item you hate, you can find out quickly with MagusBot. Unlike the monolithic patch webpages, you can quickly search for a hero or item and get concise patch notes without having to find it on a webpage longer than your losing streak.

Alternatively, you want to look up the specifics of an ability but can’t load the game, and the Dota website is wrong, yet again… 🙄

The Magus has you covered, quickly get details about heroes, abilities, and items. All the information is taken directly from the game files, to be the most correct and up-to-date as possible.

Some example inputs: /patch hero marci /info ability Shadow walk /patch item satanic

Command responses are partially localised based on your Discord Preferences, but you can specify a locale in the command

/patch hero name: warlock locale: ru

These are the current features available to use, but more are in development. I am hoping to bring some TI-related commands and information next month, and then hopefully for most leagues afterwards. I am also looking at commands related to you and your friends, such as quickly sharing your last game, general stats etc. I also hope to expand the available information beyond what you can typically access in-game and would currently need to visit one of the various wikis to access.

Originally, MagusBot was created after a discussion with friends regarding quickly seeing the changes after a patch back in February, and I developed a prototype in a couple of weeks that has been running for 6 months now. Since then, it has coped with a couple of big and several minor patches, and the current full version of MagusBot has been testing for the last several weeks and I hope to grow it further. Although I have my final year of university starting soon, I hope to keep working on the project over the next several months.

If you want to try out the bot, you can join the support server, where you can also report any issues etc. you find, or features/suggestions.
