AKA I have FIXED the lack of autoattack toggle since dota scripts were disabled last week:


I made a 3 min video which demonstrates how my Dota setup lets me switch from passive to aggressive stance and some of the situational benefits of being able to use both of these at once.

To do this you need to be in Standard autoattack mode and turn on Quick Attack.

You toggle between the passive and aggressive stance by tapping your Attack hotkey, which functions as if it switches autoattack to Always, and your Cancel Current Action key, which functions as if it switches autoattack to Standard.

This allows you to use gameplay techniques from both Standard and Always autoattack modes, which people previously achieved by having a simple script (before scripts were disabled by Valve).

haha yeah, every day of my life. but i make sure i do things for myself , really its just a constant enigma how "poor" the numbers game is

as in, out of 100 dota players i would expect more than 1 to actually understand why switching stances has unique utility, generally by having been using the script themselves in the past or because they are currently using Always autoattack or have been forced to switch from Always autoattack and are missing the ability to stagger step or last hit without aiming the mouse

thats a cool post, i always wonder a bit what is better mjollner vs shard vs daedalus (i went shard shard shard shard shard shard on sniper once and it sucked lol).

more to the point of your thread, i only build mobility items on my heroes. when i play sniper i go deso -> blink. when i play dp i go blink forcestaff euls hex (you should have seen my face when i saw someone build a hood on dp in yesterdays series). skill in dota is all about positioning and awareness, which let you both produce damage and remain healthy, and mobility lets you do this.

yup its cool a lot of people used it for a long time , the features are of course very situational but you do use them every game. want that quick hit on a creep or jungle creep without needing to click on it? want to turn on autoattack instantly without a mouseclick? as carry standing in safelane do you want to be able to last hit a creep whilst checking out other heroes or staring at the minimap and not needing to make a mouseclick?

there is no disadvantage to using this , the only "extra" button press is when you want to switch back to passive mode (and its completely intuitive - you press "stand still" when u want to stand still again)

also now that no1 knows how to do it (barring turning on autoattack which you clearly aren't using), its kinda fun to show off your spam animation cancel once in a while to passers-by

i think the latest update added this

Added a new option "Toggle Autoattack Automatically", which overrides the current autoattack setting when some orders are sent. A hold order forces Autoattack: Never, a stop order forces Autoattack: Always and an attack order returns to the value normally set in the options.
