General DiscussionYour Hotkeys

Still using the traditional dota 1 hotkeys.

Legacy Keys (except invoker and rubick) + Alt + Q W E A S D for items.

quickcast spells on QWER

non quickcast items on capslock x c v b space

f1 select hero
f2 select courier
f3 select all units
1 select all other units
4 purchase shiftbuy items
5 purchase tp
` scoreboard
T talent level up
Y chat wheel
Z taunt

and most importantly,

end on console, fucking default console bind makes me accidentally press it when i chat

everything else is on default

I think the best mechanical change that most people can make is switching to dragging camera with middle mouse button over edge panning.

I think the best mechanical change that most people can make is switching to dragging camera with middle mouse button over edge panning.

this x99999 camera grip is so much better than edge pan

But my middle mouse button is so stiff D:
I use 12345 for micro btw

i already CAN use mid mouse for it but since my mouses all have mid mouse problems (specially scrolling but also the button itself) i never got used to it. i remember doing it for blocking even tho i edge pan that too. i think i gotta play bot match for a week and just change my whole playing system to get more efficient

also how do u use F keys i never got that they're too high jdjtjsok-2-&(jrkr

Everything default, never quickcast, or shiftqueue, or use control group, and still a better player than alice

I don't have other hot key

am I a noob?

yes i would make the sacrifice. im thinking of moving some of my keys to F keys to make room for some more comfortable places for other keys like i dont have any comfortable place left for auto attack toggle for heroes like meepo
