DOTA & DOTA Lod - switch with heroes that left the game

Hello,

Sometimes winning games are ruined when the most farmed/fed hero, or for Lod, the hero with best skill builds leaves the game for some reason.

I know this is a little idealistic and probably hard to implement. But in case a teammate drops/leaves or gets votekicked, is it possible to enable a "switch" function to give up the existing hero and use that leaver's hero (while being able to buy items for him)?

Thanks,

Here is a good example: https://entgaming.net/findstats.php?id=7350835

I was dropped @ min 35 with octarine core, travel, ghost, point booster and bottle and k/d of 14-1. Brown (with lowest k/d) could've swapped me and abandon his own hero to continue our momentum and ultimately to increase the chance of winning.

@Burnt

I might be wrong, but wouldn't that be map-related?

@Burnt

Have you tried adressing mapmakers?

It is possible but all comes down to the map makers.
