I know I'm late to the party but Hylian I feel like you completely lack any empathy of any kind. It shouldn't be so difficult to understand that there is a tiered system in place for what BRAND NEW PLAYERS should be paying attention to and focusing on? A BRAND NEW PLAYER should not be min-maxing mana gains with tread switching // item dropping // soul ringing. It doesn't make sense to focus on this aspect of the game because this trick objectively cannot be considered fundamental to the game.

You're lumping every aspect of doto into one tier of knowledge base and it's super-dangerous and potentially extremely off-putting for new guys. It's like sitting down a 6 year-old and telling him, hey, when you have 3 apples and you take away 1 apple you're only left with 2 apples! Also hey don't forget that almost all binomial coefficients are even and if you map the even ones in pascal's triangle, you'll get an approximation of sierpinski's sieve. That's just as important to remember so don't forget that when you're subtracting apples away, and if you can't remember that then don't fucking bother attempting math.

I'm only bringing this up again because I've seen you say a lot of silly stuff, potentially driving away new players when you say this isn't the game for them if they can't move the map with their mouse or tread switch properly, and I really don't want you to deter any newbies who are lurking over ridiculous mechanical quirks.

I think this has been posted before but I am incredibly lazy:

is there any way to get cfg/autoexec/whatever they're called commands in reborn?

I need my force right click to deny and disable range finder :(

People were saying that the idea of these mechanics existing would put them off of the game. Even not discussing them with new players does not make the mechanics go away, they still exist, their opponents or teammates are potentially using them (depends if stacked, private match, or whatever).

I still think that if someone wants to play with the camera locked on their hero, and refuses to realize that that idea is the incorrect way, then they have no business playing because they obviously don't want to try to learn the game properly. We need to foster a quality community here, not just people that ruin games and then say "I'm having fun!"

That would be great. I really wish there was some kind of API for custom Emojis.

Edit: Did a bit of research and there is, however of course everyone would have to have it installed to see the emojis.

Have you seen this before?

If you already have your own existing autoexec.cfg from Dota 1 and just need that to run in Reborn Client, you need to edit game_convars.vcfg (At work right now so I don't have the location of this file, shouldn't be too hard to find though). Just add "exec" "autoexec.cfg", similar to this:

I never said they went away? No one ever said they go away. The point is and always has been that tread switching is not a fundamental part of dota. It's just not and I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out why you insist it's on the same level as dota basics.

I think "suboptimal" is a better word than "incorrect". Is it better? Yes, but it's not wrong because it still technically works. A lot of people get discouraged when their introduction to things are framed in a "right or wrong" point of view rather than being eased in through having to face situations where they think "Hmm maybe I should disable camera lock so that I can more easily realize what's going on outside of my periphery". Let people be shitty and learn through doing things using suboptimal methods if they want. Your points might be fine but your wording is very discouraging and something you should watch out for.

Stats are a basic of Dota, they have to have some idea of what stats actually mean. Given that, Tread switching is barely a far cry from that.

Eh, I can see this. The frustrating thing is people keep insisting on doing it. I mean one of the primary sources of it is from a certain other game. Almost every time I have watched someone play that other game, they just have the camera locked the whole time, and it is just so frustrating to watch.
