Yep. That's the specific thing the note on the ability says, which is why it didn't make sense until I found out they have different cooldowns.

how many of you guys have switched to quickcast?

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)

honestly idk what is causing your issue, perhaps something in your .cfg? if you're double pressing blink there should be an action, as that blinks you back towards your fountain.

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

wait what do you mean by the blink back to fountain when using quickcast?

@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.

I've heard good things about quick cast but there's so many years of other things ingrained in my head and muscle memory that it would be so hard to change
Same reason I stlil use alt-qwe for items, can't get used to anything else

no i have said nothing about double tap blink.

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

It's possible to enable quickcast and normal cast for the same item slots to different hotkeys (e.g. 3 and alt-3). Or you could just bind one item slot as non-quickcast.

it'll get better once you're more comfortable with the fact that you don't need that 2nd button press and you feel like you can trust yourself to be accurate. practice practice practice!

it's probably what you have on your sticky.

it's the little icon near quickbuy, i think default is tp. it doesnt go away after buying unlike quickbuy. i could be wrong, at work can't confirm

It's basically a "buy TP' key, as there is no point in using the sticky for anything else

the two purchase hotkeys are super useful when you wanna duck into the sideshop and back out again, where it would be dangerous to spend more than a second shopping there.

well TIL

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??

No, it's a bug. There are a ton of "minimum damage" bugs that never get fixed because it's pretty rare that they're relevant.

call doesnt affect hidden units like phase shifted, disrupted or imprisoned heroes, but it does affect invulnerable units, including cycloned targets. cycloned targets won't attack while in the cyclone, but will do so upon landing.

i think
