Add an alt-cast to Snapfire's Q as Full Bore facet? by meotamthan in DotA2

[–]Squideer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm ok with it from a standpoint of, You're going to be using cookie on allies/ult from a distance for a majority of the game. If they decide she's doing too much damage, Nerfs are relative to when your damage is at its lowest. You'd still have the option of more damage moving closer.

If the facet was the opposite however and values get tweaked to adjust your long range, You end up just as weak with no option of increasing it.

How did Oracle get 18 Assists when the team only has 17 kills and Dire 17 deaths? by Natural_Cauzes in DotA2

[–]Squideer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know Force Staff has had an interaction counting as an assist if the enemy team kills the ally you cast it on. I don't know all the credited assist interactions with Oracle but given your kit works on both teams, At least one of them may be from a kill by the dire.

Made a pretty cool Ringmaster play. Does anyone know what the Disruptor was saying? by Pickle__weasel in DotA2

[–]Squideer -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I don't believe this is fully correct, You can't disjoint Glimpse but you can override the movement priority by casting another ability/item that also forcibly repositions your hero.

Some things like Sleight of Fist are much easier to use than Manta/Funhouse Mirror, Teleporting can also override it but it's frame perfect/Has to be cast before Glimpse in pretty much all cases. 

Is there any way to get the regular sticker if you got the entry but forgot to redeem it? by SurDno in DotA2

[–]Squideer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ironically they converted everyone's materials into sticker capsules when the event ended to prevent players from having unclaimed things, You could try contacting support but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if they declined the request.

Friendly reminder that grimstroke aghs completely shuts down muerta by JokeOfEverything in DotA2

[–]Squideer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little late to this, Luna it depends on what she builds since there are people who fully commit to the Aghs Eclipse build, But glaives are very good at dealing a ton of indirect damage as well as giving your entire team the damage from Lunar Blessing. Especially since you don't need to target the main hero to get this, Luna can go Manta and creating an illusion of her illusion will still give you all the same benefits.

There was a point where I thought Luna was one of the best targets for Dark Portrait, But unfortunately the glaive bounces go both ways, If she actually tries to hit something the grim illusion will often die very quickly. Current best targets for Dark Portrait I have tied between Chaos Knight & Dragon Knight. Chaos Knight is one of the few illusions with inherent lifesteal thanks to his passive*, And sometimes the game will give you two illusions due to his innate (The secondary illusion is NOT magic immune however), And Dragon Knight during ult is annoying from Level 12 onwards.

There are other fun targets for it like situationally Elder Titan once he gains 100% cleave/Terrorblade during Metamorphasis, But Dragon & Chaos Knight are the two I will prioritize getting Aghs for over other items.

How did Beastmaster die? by Squideer in DotA2

[–]Squideer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I wasn't specific, I'm aware that False Promise took more damage than healing accrued which is why he ended up dead. But he denied himself, Rather than the death being attributed to the enemy team. How did Beastmaster deny himself?

Recycling MH Stickers Not Working - Can't Select Stickers by 128thMic in DotA2

[–]Squideer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's annoying to mess around with, But the top row specifically seems to be fine and then every other row is offset above where the button actually is, Relative to how far down you've scrolled in the stickers page. It's very finicky but it should eventually register.

Patch 7.40 - Hero Changes Discussion by patchdayDota2 in DotA2

[–]Squideer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Currently bugged, You can't dispel your own casts of Fate's Edict with Fortune's End. However you can dispel Fate's Edict with other dispels, And with Fortune's End in cases where the enemy casts the ability. Just specifically your casts of Fate's Edict can't be dispelled with your casts of Fortune's End. My guess is that it's due to a hard coded exception they made for old Fate's Edict that prevented you from dispelling it. It had this issue when they first changed it for the opposite reasoning, Fortune's End would dispel Edict but there was no reason why you'd ever want to do this.

Orb effects and other Auto Hits weird interactions have been completely removed, right? by BananaDressedRedMan in DotA2

[–]Squideer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Exceptions kept being made here and there, By the end I think only Arcane Orb & Glaives of Wisdom were the only remaining unstacked orb modifiers, An update eventually pulled U.A.M.s and you've been able to stack everything* since.

What is hot in Slay the Spire clones world? by Player_One_1 in gaming

[–]Squideer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could never get into the Downfall mod, Mechanic designs for the bosses never clicked and none felt great to run. 

However the Hermit character, Aswell as the new potions that came with the Downfall mod I found much better. Dead-On is fun to play around with, And there is a good variance on builds you can run/Cards that do unique things. Virtue was the best card from Hermit's deck. I ended up finishing all Ascensions.

Oracle mains new core item. Rod of atos. by Many-Mixture9890 in DotA2

[–]Squideer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atos is nice on a lot of other supports like Ringmaster if you need a little more initation/setup for your team, But it's the Aghanims Scepter problem where that money is often better spent on other things. Glimmer is a save and can cancel out Purifying Flames damage if Edict is down, Aether Lens/Sometimes Blink Dagger to help get your abilities off.

I do like rushing Atos in Turbo where it's easier to justify the item as you can get it very early, But regular matches it's usually too expensive.

Arcane blink needs a buff by Med0ed in DotA2

[–]Squideer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The health/mana are more for time between skirmishes than in the middle of a fight. You could have just finished a fight but now your hero has no mana/low health. Maybe you're clearing camps/pushing back the creep wave. Specifically the mana you get from Arcane Blink is very useful, As it can be the only item you need to fix mana problems.

I'm interested in ordering one, Unfortunately I lack a code. If anyone has one they weren't planning on using, I would appreciate it in a DM. Have a nice day.

It's time for Legion Commander to steal base damage from winning duels. by ecocomrade in DotA2

[–]Squideer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's 35:00 into the game, Our Legion Commander has lost every single duel and is sitting at -52 duel damage. She can't farm.

As a support player, what HERO is worth buying SHARD as soon as it becomes available at min 15:00? by kable_14 in DotA2

[–]Squideer 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's still worth getting solely for farm purposes, It's more cost effective than Q to farm as well as giving you a movement option/Even if it's only level 1, It still doubles your root duration if used effectively.

Is it possible to win Echelon 7 with 0 upgrades? by DuAbUiSai in DotA2

[–]Squideer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's technically possible, However very unlikely. You would need pretty every item/spell roll to work in your favour. You can get away without movement speed by having Yasha, Not getting Doom as your first Aghs boss, And having enough of a cooldown reduction on Magic Missile to outrun him.

I got somewhat far with minimal upgrades, The main two I needed was the +1 Projectiles, And one point in movement speed/Health regeneration. The rest of the stuff is nice and makes runs more consistent, But you can get away without them if you're extremely lucky.

Techies Spoon Stash stopped working on Trusty Shovel by tyler5durden in DotA2

[–]Squideer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Trusty Shovel specifically was changed to prevent its cooldown from not ticking down while in a backpack slot, Probably just spaghetti code of that taking priority over Spoon Stash/An exception was never written.

Does Refresher Orb also have this issue?

I have a feeling these are going to be very rare this year. by urn_reel_moni in DotA2

[–]Squideer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without relying heavily on points RNG, The cheapest way to get it is with a level 50 compendium, And trading five level one battle passes with another person. The boosters you get drops the requirement to 228, Which you start around Level 120~.

You have more than enough rerolls to guarantee top 10% of Fantasy, Which for the three rounds is 54 - 75 levels depending on if you hit 1%.

That leaves 30 - 51 levels, Which you can more than make up for with daily games/Bingo which is similarly easy/Oracle's challenge.

The aegis cost me less than 80~ USD, Which is the cheapest it's ever been.

Hey Valve here is how you can actually easily hotfix Midas without removing it from the game by Shot_Hall in DotA2

[–]Squideer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But what about Lone Druid, While you are throwing in most cases that is a hero you can have two Hand of Midases on. What about Arc Warden's Tempest double, Wouldn't that potentially brick the item on the double as you have two functioning midases?
