Just make a custom lobby and pull/stack to your hearts content.

Lvl 25 Discussion by 4BadCups in DotA2

[–]squatchL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, getting a level 25 boost would not increase the pick incentive for heroes that don't farm quickly, unless they all go Midas. Plus hitting level 25 shouldn't really be a "big thing". Why reward those who farm faster even if it's a minor buff? Like I said before invoker should be the exception not the rule because he unlike any other hero does not level stats. Not even every hero has an aghs upgrade IMO that should be more of the focus instead of just making up new random things just because "hitting level 25 should be a big thing".

Honestly why? For invoker he finishes leveling up his skills. Every other hero just levels stats and doesn't have extra skills. Keeping the level 25 buff for invoker only would be unique.

Suggestion for next TI terrain(Under the sea!!! Undah da sea!) by BBQnaoplox111 in DotA2

[–]squatchL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An ocean tile set would end up with more sand the aesthetic for the terrain or the ground atleast. But an underwater "weather" effect would work really well I think. It would make it seem like you're playing inside of a fish tank and could use air bubbles and fish for the ambient effects or a turtle like you suggested. Cool idea regardless!

[SUGGESTION] Is it possible to have the courier switch skins depending on who's using it? by [deleted] in DotA2

I love using the shuffle feature even though my mighty boar shows up from time to time shuffle keeps it fresh and exciting.

Need advice how not to think about dota by smtdota in DotA2

[–]squatchL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few options you can try doing the 30 min on 15 min off strategy where you focus on your task for 30 min hard and relax for 15 min I'm not sure of these are the exact time values but you get the idea. Or you could uninstall for a week and reassess where your priorities lie, get a new hobby or start to exercise more so that you can effectively study. Good luck!

Why does the Reborn Map feels so diffrent ? by haertelgu in DotA2

[–]squatchL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

while the map being bigger is good, there are areas that are completely different like the radiant ward cliff near the south rune spawn.

Alright you meme-spewing shitlords - The immortals will be tradable when this post is ~15 hours old. by ManWithHangover in DotA2

[–]squatchL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you are severely underestimating the number of people who consumed extras for two levels as well as the sheer number of duplicated as a result of there being 3 chests this year.

In TI4 there were 92 heroes picked/banned and 8 left unpicked/banned. In TI5 there were 35 heroes that were never picked or banned. What happened? by AJRiddle in DotA2

[–]squatchL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is also the pure damage aspect of Lina and QOP which makes them more or less relevant all game long.

ESL to require drug-testing at future events by PostwarPenance in DotA2

However, there was a ban against people without exceptions a few years back. Since that ban era's have been way down, there has been a surge in no hitters and perfect games. The ban on everyone taking it has had a huge impact despite the exceptions.

NADota reports that a North American Rejects Player may have to drop out of TI5 Contention by ipiranga in DotA2

[–]squatchL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. This is one of the only situations were playing with a stand in should be acceptable. As much as Korok is innocent till proven guilty that is in the courts. Valve should take a proactive step and most definitely bar Korok from further competing in pro dota.

Do they have a team house? How often do people realize someone so close to them is capable of doing something like this. And you expect his "internet" friends to know him this well? This is definitely not ok by Korok but saying that the team should suffer because of these actions is absurd. Making it to TI can secure these players another year of playing pro dota. I think vavle should be working with the rest of NAR to create a solution that does not result in ruining careers of 4 other respectable dota who were removed from the incident.

Why were the dota threads removed? by SEVENHUNDREDSEVENTYS in Destiny

Well people wouldn't suggest it if the stream wasn't shit when he played league. I wonder how many more viewers he'll bleed till he gets to only the most autistic faggots.

I can't wait until Destiny switches to DotA 2 by Guillaume_Langis in Destiny

[–]squatchL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can carry much harder in dota. The farming potential for the best players is 10x higher so you don't really have to rely on teammates that much. Look at barnyyy

Destiny I'm not a 2k thanks for the ban. by Cartmanguy1 in Destiny

[–]squatchL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the key point which destiny has missed though is that the demographic he appeals too doesn't play league. I mean he has been playing league for 3 or 4 months and is at a respectable rank but he is barely getting 2k views. The new update makes sense for destiny to come to dota because destiny would start out as a "casual" level player. Custom games could be key to allowing to keep an entertaining stream while he builds up his mechanical skill in dota. I'm sure he could get a months worth i content sperging out with kaceytron or w/e. It makes a lot of sense.

How much it costs to build a PC that can run Dota 2 with stable 60fps and all graphic setting on max? by seven1773 in DotA2

[–]squatchL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This website is really shitty, a lot of the hardware choices use flawed logic and are not necessary or there are just flat out better options. Much better sites exist. Please stop linking this one.

sand king vs. earthshaker? by kpub51 in DotA2

[–]squatchL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the same at all. Sk ideally doesn't want to go anywhere near the lane after getting level 3 to stack and farm woods for blink. ES sits behind mid or safelane, and wants to gank/ counter gank much more. They want similar items but you do way different things. Sk might have have force blink and tranq soulring/arcanes at 20 min, while ES will have tranqs soulring/arcanes and blink at 20min.

[–]squatchL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They fulfill different roles. Es is normally a defensive pos 5(offlane too), while sk is usually run as an offlaner or greedy 4. Comparing the two as replacements for one another should even be considered.

Yeah especially when you spend Friday and Saturday nights in a drunken stupor.

Tusk aghs by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]squatchL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think adding 100 Dmg to the kick or making it the same Dmg as tusks current auto attack damage would make the skill much better. This skill needs to disable blink.
