Valve actually disabled it by force instead of giving people an option whether to disable or not?

Ok so what's the deal with reborn's console. I'm super confused.

I want a toggle hotkey for push-to-talk rather than a hold hotkey. My autoexec has:


//Toggle Mic
alias Mic "mic_on"
alias "mic_on" "+voicerecord; alias Mic mic_off"
alias "mic_off" "-voicerecord; alias Mic mic_on"
bind Mouse4 Mic


Doesn't work.

If I manually type it into console in a custom lobby, it works.

If I manually type it into console in a matchmaking game, it doesn't work.

What do? Anyone good at this?

I believe alias commands no longer work in ranked because you could armlet toggle with it

Surely the logical thing to do would have been to disable item and spell binds instead.

Oh well. Autohotkey it is. Thanks.

your backswing will never cause you to attack slower anyway, because the front and backswing all scale with your attack speed. the lack of backswing doesnt matter, because if you're attacking a stationary target, you don't need to animation cancel anyway, and if you're attacking a target thats running away, you should be telling ur hero to move in between attacks anyway


so is attack-move completely useless if you're not chasing someone?

or if you dont want to reposition yourself in any way...
I mean it's not like there is any disadvantage of doing it. And in most situations it will give you additional attacks because your hero doesnt get kited or you get out of aoe zones etc.

Heroes like Lycan and Naix basically dont function if you dont do that.

what is the best lineup for getting to the last stage on darkmoon? I have never played it before and im hoping to get to the last boss on my 1st try. im assuming higher stages = better rewards and hopefully im not wrong.
Keep moving forward

Honestly the rewards are quite disappointing. There are 15 rounds and you get about 1700 points for reaching round and completing round 14 (divided over each round) and 1000 points for killing invoker. For a total of 2700 points. Considering you get about 42,000 points with your daily bonus it is not worth it to grind games imo.

I got invoker to about one third HP yesterday with the following lineup:
Pit lord
Sniper
Medusa
Disruptor
Dark seer.

Pit lord and DS are beasts. DS wall is really good. Pit lords dmg reduction and aoe scaling dmg are really good. Sniper and medusa just deal a lot of dmg and medusa can really frontline with her ult. Disruptor also deals a ton of dmg and his ult is very spammable and strong. Minus armor (AC and deso) are REALLY good for boss units like the alchemists and giant tidehunters.

The invoker fight gets fucked up crazy at one third HP (we also had a bug where it was impossible to revive our dark seer). You really need BKBs honestly.

The attack move command is nice for multitasking. You can, for example, engage a creep camp and then attack move away, and your hero will finish the camp and then move to the destination on its own while you micro some illusions or whatever.

^I think he was talking about backswing cancelling as in attack then move. Outside of that I agree.

I agree to what solidbee said. Sniper is very strong and Dark Seer and Pit Lord are extremely good. The last wave is almost impossible, especially the last 30%, so it's likely that for safe runs you want a techies to mine-cheese it once you get him low enough to oneshot him (max stacked remotes deal ~80% damage to him). Techies also isn't a big liability anyways.

Overall I don't think spamming the event is rewarding. It's definitely helpful to reach a high wave at your daily bonus for the 6x multiplayer though.

@other heroes:
The leaderboard has PA written all over it, who is a liability early on but gets fairly good once lifesteal is out and she gets some butterflies. Disruptor has godly ccs and makes the alch wave easy (storm before he ults). Duza is fairly all around solid, provides some damage, some CC and tanks.

Items are mostly stacking as many auras as possible and then get some single target damage to snipe alch, catapults, large tide and invoker(s). Early on Vanguard/Vlads/Mek on the tanks and Arcanes to provide mana while the dds should rush damage/battlefury asap. Butterfly is godly for obvioius reasons and Bloodthorn eases up things a lot later on.

well there is, if u move for longer than your attack time, u will end up attacking slower

Back in 6.83 or 6.84 (mom Jugg/Sniper/Troll era), Arteezy was playing mid Dire Shadow Fiend against Dendi Troll in an official. Dendi fed 1n1 in a hilarious way. I have been wanting to show the game to a friend of mine for a long time. Does any of you guys happen to know a link to the VOD?

Attack move is one of your best farming tools.
Shift+attack move the jungle camps and watch the map. Also, it's the primary method for controlling illusions.
