99% Accuracy Algorithm on "Stats won't be counted"? in General Discussion

    Within a 4 match span I had 2 different games in which people abandoned.

    -The first game with an abandonment I was Lifestealer and we won 4v5 (after 60 minutes of work), and I went 27-3-10. This game was not counted towards my record.
    -The second game with an abandonment I was Rubick, and I left about 7 minutes in with 1 death. Somehow I went 1-8-7. This game was counted towards my record.

    Looking back through my records, I identified several games which people abandoned and I received a loss, but only 1 game (that I could identify) where people abandoned and I received a win (despite playing through until the win on multiple occasions).

    What gives? What is the criteria used to determine such a factor? I'm curious, because based on my personal experience it does not appear to be close to 99% accurate. It seems reasonable to assume that a 60 minute 4v5 win is more worthy of a record than a 7 minute quit because of an abandonment.

    Thanks.

      If everyone picked their hero, it's counted I think...

        Everyone picked their hero in both games. Both games were underway for a few minutes before someone abandoned. Thanks for taking a stab at it though!

          It's 50-50 if both teams have heroes.

            Hmmm...seems to be less than what the FAQ section of Dotabuff states:

            "We have developed an in-house algorithm that has over 99% accuracy, but it cannot be sure in all situations."

              I think if nobody leaves within the first 2 minutes, game will count. Also, everyone must have picked a hero.

                  Stats not counted in the first 5 minutes, or before first blood. I think courier kill will enable them as well, but not sure about that.

                    Early abandons doesn't count in dota 2 client, they shouldn't count on dotabuff unless at least on of each team stays and complete around 20 minutes of the game (i.e. games continues), then it would count as a loss for one side, and a win for the other depending on whoever won or whoever dota 2 decided to be the winner

                    Though ur case is weird
