Gross.

As expected from an anime fan.

 

[Kade]

Yeah, that's pretty disgusting.

 

[Drkirby]

I use F1 Though F5, and F for Item 6. On my keyboard the Function Keys are pretty easy to hit, only F5 tends needs me to lift my hand to hit.

 

[misses bull]

This sercet game. I wanted them to win cause of the jugg pick but its not looking so good

I use 3 for hero and 1 for courier to leave 2, 4, 5 for unit binds.

1 2 3 are my control groups. F1 is my courier key and I should probably change that

[NormalFish]

I have Tab for hero select, 1 for all my units, 2 for everything but my hero, 3 for courier. It's good enough for visage.

I'm also using quick cast now and haven't felt a need to rebind mid-game. Certain heroes would demand it no doubt, just not the ones I play.

I use quickcast and I love it.

It's kind of annoying with some things, though, like double-tap teleport on Nature's Prophet to tp home just doesn't work.

I use quickcast, with alt-keys for regular cast. alt-double-tap self casts.

idk, I think Archon have shown how stupid it is to change your team line-up after the deadline.

Shadow Fiend is maybe my favourite hero, but good lord I swear he only loses in pro games.

I liked my Trackball. I would get a new one if they made a higher DPI model. Old one just isn't good at 1080p and up.

 

[evlcookie]

God damn. Secret got destroyed in those 2 games.

 

[Monochromaticx]

A number of other important fixes are also included in this update, including many Arcana and Immortal visual fixes

yay

 

[DrPizza]

sEEcrekt.

Quite liking this new caster they have, Lyrical.

Dota 2 is getting in-game tournament brackets. Thank fuck!

ihl3 ticket never

 

[sleverfunk]

I've been constantly changing these bindings. I'm more comfortable switching treads when my hotkeys is on number 3 than on C. But control groups in F3 and F4 is kinda annoying.

 

[NormalFish]

but there's smut without the bizarre shit?

 

[twobear]

i'm sure that if jakey could pull himself away from being my imaginary husband for enough time to play dota he would agree that my keybindings are a slay and that you are pressed bitter and jealous

 

[Hylian7]

it was bullshit for people with ALT item bindings

This exactly. That change should have been a checkbox in the options in the first place.

Re: Bindings

I used to ALT bind but I've since switched to Mouse4/Space/VZXC.

I encourage people to give it a few games, because it's a noticeable improvement in speed once you get used to it (which I still am not, entirely. I would like to rebind V to something further away from ZXC).

I'm also using quick cast now and haven't felt a need to rebind mid-game. Certain heroes would demand it no doubt, just not the ones I play.

(Mouse4, Space and V are also quick cast)

Over the first few months I started playing Dota, I tried different item bindings including ZXCVBN, 123456, and even the awful default numpad bindings. I had even tried stuff like WASD camera for like, two games and hated it. None quite stuck with me like Alt+QWEASD. At worst I accidentally ping while playing Tinker, but I rarely mistakes that are due to my fingers not moving properly on the keys. Mouse4 isn't open to me as I use that for voice chat, neither is space as that is for jumping to an alert on the map. Number keys is bad because you need those for control groups.

As for other options, for the most part no item bindings are better than others, and all the regen change did was fuck over people with Alt, and people that were used to the old way for years and years, with no real reason to change it.

Regarding quick cast, I have tried it and never liked it. I have to have the feedback from the clicks on my spells, not having it really throws me off. On top of that, I like to be able to see AoEs and use the range finder, all of which quick cast takes away.

You just reminded me, did they ever released the supposed Axe Immortal?

Like seriously who cares about all the balance and fix patches, HATS is what I live for
