I don't actually muscle memory for wand/tps. Blink is always on 2, but other actives are usually scattered around in random places. Sometimes it means I accidentally use a tp when trying to place a ward, but you can't realistically have consistent slots for wards, sents, smoke, dust, tp, arcanes, blink, mek, force, urn, medallion, wand and any other shit you manage to pick up.

And the apocalypse, they also invented that

There's an ad playing on my twitch on the other monitor for a UFC fight, and one of the fighters names is Mark Hunt, but every time the dude shouts his name in the ad, it does not sound like he's saying Mark, or Hunt.

99% of heroes i'll have blink in 2nd slot and tp in 4th slot

I do. Teleports on C. Stick on X, with defensive activated items getting priority to supplant it. Boots on V (or something else if I have Travs). Generic activated items follow a decreasing hierarchy of importance along B, 2, and 3.

This only rarely fails me when I put something in an unaccustomed spot, but in general it works very well. I can't imagine having something so universal as a teleport scroll switching its location, ever.

I can go a lot more in-depth if you'd like. It just seems excessive to me to accept regular teleport losses to misclicks.

Typically my TP scroll is in my last empty item slot. So earlier in the game my inventory might be brown boots -> wand -> obs -> TP, but later in the game it's usually on 6. I've never had it where I wanted to TP but had to look down and see where my TP scroll was, making note of what's where whenever I recieve items works for me, alongside some basic logic for keeping my own inventory organized. So it's still muscle memory, sort of. It's just constantly in flux.

Actually I just looked at my dotabuff. The only item that maintains a constant slot is a blink dagger. TPs wards and everything else can be anywhere.

I see what you're saying. I generally will buy branches after the early laning stage to keep my inventory in order. I do find it surprising that you have a set location for Blink, when you don't buy that item on every he-

Forget what I said.

No. I use a custom keyset that I put together to fit my mentality.

B is too well-used in legacy keys to be used as an item hotkey.

Some other people do, I'm sure. My keyboard is kind of janky and takes a lot of pressure to register a hit, so I don't mess around with multiple keystrokes to do something absolutely vital.

I don't have anything on alt + key except stuff that doesn't matter in-game. Things like all chat and X ping. I don't think the defaullt hotkeys for items were on alt when I started my main account.

My hotkeys are all over the damn place. Items are F G T V B Space. Phase Boots are always on F. Blink is always on Space. Boots of Travel and Arcs are usually on B. Active items go on F->G->T in descending order of importance. Wand is usually on V. If I don't have Blink then my second-most important active goes on Space.

If I'm playing Tinker then it's SR on B, Bottle on V, BoTs on Space, Blink on F, EB on G and Dagon on T.

Mine are because my hands are usually stiff and sore from being at the gym and the more things I can have on my index finger the happier the rest of my hand will be.
