IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Alt+qweasd is pretty popular.. but find what you like! And use that!

Here's mine I posted in the hotkey thread (feel free to peruse that thread for more ideas):

The only downside I find with alt + qweasd is when I use force staff (or any time you have to use an item on yourself).

Double tapping the key doesn't work when you're right clicking at the same time. I've learned to stop clicking for a bit when I force staff away, but it still catches me off guard.

Don't really need to set a hotkey for "level up" when ctrl+skill hotkey levels up the skill. Much faster than pressing the "level up" key and THEN the skill when you get used to it.

I am surprised people don't try to soft counter Undying with Dazzle. His heal murders tombstone zombies by the dozen with each cast if you engage with creeps and all that extra gold can become significant for a support. Not to mention Shallow Grave is awesome and his ultimate scales well into lategame.

I use legacy too. And alt-QWEASD is so much more comfortable and easy than alt-ERTDFG, why do you do that to yourself?!

You use the index finger for all your items? What if you need to use multiple items quickly? Alt-QWEASD allows me to use my ring, middle and index finger for everything.

For items I use:
DFG
CVB
With abilities 5 and 6 rebound to T and Y

I like it because it's consistent with the grid-style hotkeys as well as the item placement in my inventory slots.

Pylon's pretty bad, but siege/unsiege + mines were pretty annoying as well.

I personally don't know, but I'm assuming it's because in the metagame, supports are expected to harass efficiently, stack/pull and be effective in trilanes. ES just comes up short in those departments, even though his fissure is very nice and Aftershock has been buffed.

I think it's because there are differences on how creeps/heroes react to fissure blocking, but I'm not sure.
