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.

#1 missing feature in DotA 2 is still the "resume previous delivery" courier command from DotA 1. It's so damn annoying having to redirect the courier every time someone wants to get an item from it.

That's what I do. QWER(+FD) for skills, T learn new skill, Y chat wheel, 1-6 inventory items, F1 hero, F2 courier, F3-F12 potential other hotkeys. But I don't play heroes that require micro, so whatever.

Set it up this way when I first downloaded WarKeys for DotA 1 and have been using it ever since.

Also, do you people organize inventory the same way every game? I always have boots on 1, magic wand/bottle on 2, items that you just need to click (bkb, ghost scepter, bottle if I also have a wand) on 3 and click + target items (forcestaff, dagon) on 4.

Yep, I always have TP on X, boots on Z, bottle on T and wand on 5.

TP always on alt-D, boots always on alt-S, stick/wand always on alt-A. Alt-QWE are for any utility items.

In theory it would be so much nicer to use numbers for items, but having played much RTS it's so hard to get over the muscle memory for control groups, damn Starcraft...

I'm gotten my bear, my birds, and myself killed way to many times with assigning 1-6 for items.

Honestly default isn't that bad simply because how easy it is to transition from starcraft/warcraft to default since you keep a/m the same
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. Bus Driver can never target themselves I'm sorry

my hotkeys are dumb.
1 hero (not a fan of f1)
2 control group
3-5 items
6 chick
space item

+ legacy

4 item hotkeys/ 1 control group is enough 95% of the time but I kinda want to restructure my keys to make tinker and such more fluid.

F1 hero
F2 other units
qwerdf skills
M1 M2 3 4 x v items
' 1 2 hotkeys for creeps
t lvl up
z courier
c voice com
alt+spell = autocast on/off

I'm happy with my hotkeys, i need to learn quick cast with every hero. I have some I am confortable with but i switch it around every game.

Yeah all my items are always on the same spot but they make no sense. Phase/Arcana on space, but treads/tranqs on 5. Then Travel on C, but if I have a sheep, it goes on C and I relocate Travel to V. Bottle always on V, wand always on X, Blink always on Z, same with FF if I have both I need to sell bottle cause FF needs to go on V then, and bottle is always on V, can't put it anywhere else.

I'm weird.

I will never understand how someone can use alt+qwer for items. That sounds like the easiest thing to missclick.

Don't you have to use the console setting to override the fact that alt+skill defaults to autocast skill?

I don't understand how anyone coming from an rts background can use the number keys for anything other than a unit

I also distinctly remember using numpad/mouse clicking for my inventory in dota 1 because I was too retarded to change them or something

You actually couldn't change inventory keys in warcraft 3 settings. You needed a third party program running for that to work. I think you could even get banned on ladder for doing that, or some shit. At least that's what I heard back then, might have been an urban legend or some shit, I dunno.

e: Actually you could probably get banned for that because it was a third party program interacting with the game, that makes sense.
