An Unexpected Counter-Squat

Answer 1

In MOBA games, counter-squatting was usually based on the conventional judgment of the enemy's movements, such as the spawn time of wild monsters, the spawn time of dragons, the common Gank route of the enemy, and so on. However, the unexpected counter-squatting might break these conventional ideas.

For example, the timing of the counter-squatting might not be when the Dragon was about to respawn, which was a common Jungler. Perhaps after the enemy Jungler had just failed to Gank a certain lane, most people would think that he would return to the jungle to adjust his condition or farm monsters. However, at this time, he might pass by an uncommon location (such as a bush on the way to another Gank point from a route that very few Junglers usually pass) and counter-squat.

In terms of location, he did not choose the common river bushes or the bushes in front of the defensive tower to squat. For example, squatting in the bushes near the enemy's jungle was a possible route for the enemy jungler to retreat after invading their jungle, but it was easy to ignore because people usually thought that such a position was far from their teammates 'route.

Or in terms of champion selection, he could choose champions that rarely appeared in a certain route or jungle to counter-squat. For example, a Mage Hero who usually walked in the middle lane would quietly go around the bushes at the bottom lane to counter-squat when the enemy thought that he was clearing the middle lane or returning to the city to resupply. This kind of hero's position would be difficult for the enemy to predict.

In addition, he could also use feints with his teammates to achieve unexpected counter-squatting. For example, a teammate deliberately made a deep push on the line and then suddenly retreated, letting the enemy think that they had an opportunity to Gank, and our team would squat in a special position in advance.
