so it turns out that the bots that collect the stats for mapgnome are of still unknown accuracy. it seems that no claim for accuracy whatsoever is made by this reply.
Hello,
Sorry for the late reply.
All of our data is gathered from Battle.net. We have bots on all of the servers that collect the lists of games being played.
I am associated with DotA (as I used to run Team DotA Allstars), but the stats are not biased in any way.

your numbers on battle tanks seem way off. sometimes they seem off to me by the hundreds. Can you please tell me exactly and in simple terms how you generate the number of times each map has been hosted and what is the margin of error and what causes the errors?
and also, are you in any way associated with blizzard and or dota?
