THE ALT BUTTON IS TOO FAR TO THE LEFT! and you hand gets into an awkward retarded position. why couldn't they use "b" to press with the thumb, or use the pinky for caps lock or anything else?

who else hates the position of the health display button?

I don''t mind it. I have no trouble moving my thumb to my alt key.

Thankfully this is no problem because you now have the option to permanently show health bars in 1.22

I was fine with holding alt with my left thumb but then I started using warkey so it's never been a problem.

permanant, but it shoudl still be toggle-able. so there would be a key for that still.

and is warkey like a custom button thing? if so, they should have one for starcraft too. allow more hotkeys and change positions. call it "starkey"

You toggle it in the menu.

And you can hold alt to turn it off temporarily

Or you can get dota client, so the health bars always show. Either way, I have no problem with the alt button.
Not bad for a cat toy.

even after they added the auto-hp show thing, i always find my self going back to the alt button. its like second nature -- next to looking at the minimap.

Yes, warkeys.

I believe there's a similar thing for Starcraft. Don't remember what it's called.

I love warkeys for quick item usage - currently have q mapped to keypad8 and space to keypad5, so if anyone looks, you'll notice I have my consumables/activatables on those slots.
