YZB Item hotkeys. Legacy keys for abilities, have to do some changes when playing Rubick ofc. 124 are my control groups. All about molding your hand around Legacy keys while still maintaining the abilitiy to use "A" only for attacking clicking. | ||

anyhow, how do you people build QoP? I know she's flexible. I usually go Bottle->Treads->Orchid but she feels so...brittle with it. The mana regen isn't enough to spam her scream and she has so little HP/regen. Linkens first? but then how do you kill anything. Aghs? BKB first? idk | ||

The mana regen isn't enough to spam her scream and she has so little HP/regen. Linkens first? but then how do you kill anything. Aghs? BKB first? idk Orchid is gank/solo-kill oriented. The fundamental goal of Orchid-first QoP is to present a solo-kill threat against most enemy heroes with her high burst damage and control the map this way before heroes have outs against Orchid like BKB--then using the farm advantage from that map control to get a 2nd major item before the enemy does. Being "brittle" doesn't matter in this scenario because you shouldn't be looking for full-on 5v5 fights prior to your second major item and focus primarily on finding those kills or forcing the enemy to spread out and expose themselves to those kills (e.g. pushing lanes into towers to force TPs). If you get caught split-pushing or counter-killed during a gank/solo-kill that's more on bad decision making/execution than needing more survivability from your first item. Linken's is essentially fully farm/split-push oriented where you don't plan on killing things until your 2nd major item. BKB and Agha are aimed at 5v5ing with different types of teamcomps. | ||

Other than that it's all defaults. Is there any trick to not being terrible about pinging the map when using alt+key for items, well other than just not being terrible? As far as I can tell I can't remap the alt hotkey. I feel bad everytime I end up ping spamming because I'm trying to use blink dagger and the rest of my fingers move faster than it takes me to release the alt key. I wish I could swap ctrl and alt in functions then just use ctrl-q-w-etc. for items. | ||

Weird thing was, when I played Ember and Timbersaw for the first time after never playing him in WC3 Dota since I switched to Dota 2 by the time they were released, I still knew the keys immediately. I could not tell you 75% the hotkeys for spells outside of the game yet my fingers know them instantly when I'm in game. | ||

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. AHK (or warkey or whatever) doesn't interact with the game at all and blizzard didn't ban people for using it. | ||
