I believe so, same for terrorblade and metamorphosis

i have a problem with pressing "2" and less often "1" on my keyboard (blink dagger/orchid). i bought a new, mechanical, keyboard to fix it but i still apparently am physically and mentally incapable of pressing the button. sometimes i press it 5 times in a row on purpose and nothing happens. i can't figure out what the fuck is wrong with me considering i bought a brand new £70 keyboard to fix the problem. the same happens but to a lesser extend with my hold position button ("d") which i use to cs. i find myself pressing it twice just to make sure it worked, and obviously this is uncomfortable as fuck. again, this is on my 2nd keyboard (its a lot better on my 2nd keyboard but i still have trouble). the keyboard i bought is pretty clunky so its possible it could still be a keyboard+me combo problem. its mechanical brown key. anyway can't afford to buy another new keyboard and will need to test out a red style one somehow (impossible to test mechanical keyboards in england anyway?) anyway its got me thinking about trying to use quickcast to speed up my reactions and MAYBE help with the blink problem (unfortunately not the hold pos problem). mainly i can see it helping things like dodging ultis with blink. i am assuming you can set items to quickcast and not just spells lol. i havent played dota for like 5 days but i've been dreaming about playing using quickcast and it seems pretty neat. (being able to dream in dota using different mechanics = i am blessed?) so any of you guys use it? and anyone else experience this fucking weird issue with pressing 2 to blink on their keyboards? (i moved it to 1 and its 90% better but still haunts me randomly every game). its like i dont press the key hard enough, but then every so often i sit there jamming the combo (2-click or 1-click) 3-5 times in a row and nothing happens and im like W T F IS WRONG ?? but its completely unrepeateable, i cant repeat the problem. i just figure its the lightness + angle that i press the button causes it to not make the connection, but no matter how lightly i press it right now or from what angle it is working fine) | ||

quick cast completely changed my game for the better. for some heroes ill switch out certain hotkeys if i know that ill want to see the targetting radius (e.g. sleight of fist), but i love it. not being able to double tap blink to quickly head back towards your fountain is the only drawback to using quick cast. in addition, my TP key is not quick cast so i can double tap to head back to fountain as opposed to having to move my mouse to the minimap then hit my tp key. and yes, you can set all of your hotkeys (items AND spells) to it. as for your switches, i prefer the reds over the browns for gaming  | ||

@FFG: are you spamming the blink key without any other inputs? Because you need to turn in the direction you're blinking, which is why blink backwards are not instant. | ||

my issue is the button 1 or 2 (blink) or D (hold pos for cs) on my keyboards NOT WORKING AT ALL when i press them sometimes. i believe it is some physical feature of me but can't figure it out for shit. i tried quickcast as lion, its pretty good, very different but in an unexpected way...... you need to force yourself to be more patient in order to be accurate, and consequently you find yourself contemplating (thinking about) the usage of your skill much more. idk, maybe its just a side-effect of not being able to act instinctively and it'll go away after a while. i think it happens because there's a lack of feedback when you're aiming, so you take an extra moment to make sure your cursor is over the target. you're hyper-aware about the positioning of targets relative to your hero/mouse and it causes you to think more about landing multihero-stuns. the other unexpected thing is obviously things like tp and wards become quickcast so it feels like you need to be even faster when using shift queue (but probably it just means you are doing the same actions in shorter time so it just feels like you're moving faster). i def noticed it does seem to make tango eating shift-queue much much easier question could you please tell me how to remove quickcast for a specific item if thats possible? i want to be able to double tap my forcestaff (3) in order to use it on myself but with 3 set as a quickcast button it doesn't allow me to - instead i have to mouse over myself and press 3 in order to use force staff on myself, and obviously thats shit coz your screen is never over yourself when you're using fs also why is it some people can f9 to unpause nonstop whilst when i f9 nothing happens half the time | ||

attacking with negative damage will hurt you if you have lifesteal negative damage restores medusa's mana shield, restores damage done to aphotic shield, and deals damage to an abaddon using borrowed time intended?? | ||
