Common questions
Who should I play in Dota 2 if I main Shiv?
Doom is the closest fit at 75% match. Chaos Knight and Clinkz are the next closest. The ranking compares Shiv's playstyle traits against every Dota 2 hero, so it matches on how a character feels to play rather than on class labels.
Is there a Dota 2 hero like Shiv?
Doom plays closest to Shiv in Dota 2. Characters rarely translate one to one between games, so the score tells you how much overlap there is: higher means more shared habits in mobility, range, pressure pattern, and team role.
How are these Deadlock to Dota 2 matches calculated?
Every character in both games is hand-tagged with playstyle traits grouped into shared categories. We read Shiv's traits and rank the Dota 2 roster by how much of that profile they share, weighting the categories that define how a character actually plays.
