Pudge Glimmer Cape Timing
Glimmer Cape was bought 186 times on Pudge before 30:00 in this data; the most purchases (39.8%) came in the 20:00–25:00 window. The two 95% intervals overlap, so this sample shows no clear win-rate difference between buying Glimmer Cape by 25:00 and buying it later.

DATA
- Bought by 25:00: 51.6% won (124 purchases, 95% interval 42.9%–60.2%).
- Bought between 25:00 and 30:00: 48.4% won (62 purchases, 95% interval 36.4%–60.5%).
The split at 25:00 is the time window edge closest to the middle purchase, chosen from purchase times only, never from results.
INTERPRETATION
This is a correlation, not the effect of the purchase. Purchase time and the result are linked both ways: a game that is going well brings gold sooner, and a game that is going badly delays every item. Do not read a higher bar as "buy it earlier and you will win more".
How this is measured
- Source: OpenDota item timing data for Pudge (parsed public matches). Only matches whose replay was parsed are included, so this is not every public game.
- The provider keeps a rolling window of recent weeks and does not filter by patch; the patch shown above is the latest one OpenDota lists.
- Each purchase counts once, so buying the item twice in one game counts twice. Purchases after 30:00 are not in the data. The time windows are the provider's.
- A time window needs at least 30 purchases (the site's minimum sample, the same as for matchups) before its win rate is shown; the page exists only while at least two windows reach it.
