what happens if:
does Lili magically escapes from stitches?
Some time ago (like 10 years ago or so) we created a Hots parser that gives several stats about the game, something we always wanted to add was identify the skill names used and the landing % of them.
Now that we have LLMs, we have been adding more features. Here are some of its most important and innovative features:
Evidence-based skillshot analytics: Estimates attempts, hits, misses, hit rates, and targets struck using positional geometry, quest counters, and follow-up ability events. The current rules cover 89 abilities across 46 heroes.
Deep gameplay reconstruction: Converts raw replay events into detailed player, hero, team, death, talent, XP, timeline, and unit-level statistics—not just basic match summaries.
Map-specific objective intelligence: Tracks battleground mechanics such as temples, tributes, shrines, immortals, mercenary camps, and captured vehicles.
Per-second army-strength modeling: Reconstructs each team’s army and mercenary strength throughout the match, making it possible to visualize momentum and power swings.
Version-resilient replay decoding: Automatically uses the exact Blizzard replay protocol when available, or the nearest compatible version for newer builds.
Analytics-ready output: Produces structured JSON or writes directly to PostgreSQL, with separate datasets for replay information, players, hero and team stats, deaths, map metrics, army strength, and timelines.
The goal is to extract information that normally isn’t available on the post-game screen and turn replay files into detailed, explainable analytics. I hope you find it useful.
