The first line turns on auto-attack when you press s. The second one turns off auto-attack when you press h. Depending on your preference, you might actually want to add the "dota_player_units_auto_attack 1" to other commands such as pressing a.


You have to unbind the keys from the normal binding. autoexec.cfg is loaded before normal binds, so normal binds will overwrite them.

The alternative is making a separate .cfg to load them after yourself.

Been following Dota for a little, but still a relative noob.

I'd like to ask what teams are looking for when they draft Crystal Maiden and Venomancer? Some of the other support heroes I know exactly what they want, for example KotL for the anti-push and Bane for the anti-carry. Just can't figure out why you'd want CM and Veno over other supports

in general you should stack/pull the safelane pull camp only if your safelane is a solo because otherwise your safelane support is not going to have any money (you can certainly stack it whenever you like, but the support needs the money/exp from clearing the stack with a pull).

if you try to stack at 1:00 with your bear chances are you wont kill the camp youre trying to kill before 1 min. but if you dont have problems with clearing you camp fast enough then you should stack whenever you can, big camp preferably.

Hey guys, I've been playing some Jungle heroes lately and I was wondering if I should be pulling creeps as I stack the jungle (example scenario, I play a jungle LD, creeps spawn at 0:30, stack the medium camp closest to the bottom lane, then pull a creep wave at the bottom towards the stack). Would this be something I should be doing on a consistent basis?

So I actually dl'd all the TI3 replays and now i need to ask. Is there an easy way to look for which matches had certain heroes? Like say, which matches had Timbersaw or Batrider.

Was wondering if there was an easier way than just dumping all the replays unsorted into my replays folder and looking through them in client.

Is captain allocation in CM completely random or does it consider the MMR of the players?

Believe it's random, though if you're playing in a stack, the whole stack counts as 1 player when it comes to captain chance. (Ie. if you're playing in a 4 stack with 1 random, your stack's leader has a 50% chance of being captain, the random has 50% chance).

Its even less likely that you were the highest mmr in all 12 of those games

Is Tusk viable mid? and if so how would one play the hero out / play against? (He seems really good to me)

I've just counted... I've played 17 CM games solo now and i've been captain 12 times. I know its a small sample size but this can't be completely random.

Tusk is usually mid in Pub as he would love a fast level6 and go about snowballing out of control(pun intended ). He would pretty much play the mid lane like any other bottling mids, just spamming skills to clear creeps and attempt to control the runes.

Once he hits 6 he will be a terror to the side lanes as Walrus Punch will pretty much 1shot a support.

However in competitive game, he's not that useful as snowball is slow and he's in a weird spot of trying to be too many roles at once. He's trying to be a initiator(snowball), DPS (walrus) and support(doesnt really scale well with items) all at once.

To be a initiator he needs hp stuff etc. To be a dps he needs farm and damage items, to be a support he lacks the damage to really contribute and he's a melee support, later on he will just be food whenever he rolls in as he lacks the gold for items.Thus there's really not a niche that he can fill in that others can't do better and more effectively.
