Hehe. yeah I watched that game. Luna imba ftw. A bit of a boring game mind you, in terms of kills. Was not alot of action, but the game was more about mind games. Also, Rex was seriously under leveled. Rex just focused on map control for wards. He even got a Gem to kill off wards. As a result he barely had any items, where as Luna, was farming like a Demon. To solo vs QoP with Luna, is not easy, yet he really farmed well. I think Luna had 137 CS at the 30minutemark. In a competitive game like that, it was impressive. Then the creep stack of the ancients was just wow. I think it was stacked about 6 times. Serious $$$ I thought they only spawned max 3 times! Maybe its a bug?
But yeah, game shoulda been 20 minutes before. They kind of stood in the base attack creeps when they could have ran down and killed bottom tower.Was a bit confused over that. KS made a nice attempt at holding on, but when you only have 2 barracks left, its not easy.
GG
In regards to jungle, I really do think Scourge is much easier to jungle than Sentinel these days.

i think you can stack creep camps as much as you want. it just gets harder to each time you stack them because some of them will be blocked while they chasing you so it's a better chance for them to stay in the radius they're supposed to be out of in order for camps to stack.
lol long ass run on sentence ftw i confused myself

I've seen the ancient stack a couple of times in pubs, all by luna, all lead to a 30min bkb butterfly.

so I set the numpad 8 to Q now and its much much easier drinking from bottle, using guinsoo, etc. However the chinese pinyin for money is qian so basically i can't type anything that has "money" in it. What hotkeys do you guys normally use that doesn't conflict with any commands? I'm thinking I should hotkey like four more numbers so my control is better. Also, I learned to use shift not too long ago, however when I set wards with crow for example I do set ward, hold shift, manually click on the red x, then input another command, is there an easier way to use shift and cancel commands?
|
what red X for crow shift clicking? O_o
edit: oh. i think i get what you mean. i don't remember how i do it, i probably just press escape
i use ` for 7, q for 4 (disabled when playin invoker), 2 mouse buttons for 8 and 5, with mousewheel up disabled so i don' accidentally zoom in (pretty sensitive mwheel i have). off/on toggled with NumLock
all done courtesy of autohotkey of course.
Here's the code =). there's also some stuff for pew pew fly fly or uther party but those are usually disabled
+ Show Spoiler [code] +
;for general dota
F7::Numpad8
F8::Numpad5
`::Numpad7
q::Numpad4
WheelUp:: return
~NumLock::suspend
I used to use TAB but it was a total killer because i also used to play chen a lot, and tab in general is a very useful key. anyway 4/6 is good enough for me, i rarely have more than 4 active items

if you use the newest version of warkey, it disables your keybindings when you hit enter to type, so typing things that use those letters isnt too much of an issue, when outside of the game you can enable/disable by using the scrolllock key, so you can type in lobbies and such.
i use q for 7 as well, i've heard of people using spacebar for 8, but that annoyed me too much. i may try using ` for 7,
|
i just got the G11 keyboard LOL 12 macros on the side, i set them for my numpads so now i can blink in a blink of an eye ;D

Like you know how you right click, hold shift, set wards which is the 2nd command, the image of the ward will still be there and you can't input any other commands so you have to cancel that first? I'm holding shift so it's awkward to press esc so I just click on the red x, the manual cancel icon, then input another command. How do you guys do it?

oh.. i'm pretty sure i just let go of shift, press escape then press shift and do something else. i've never really thought about it...ill go try it
edit:nevermind
i.. just let go of shift then press it again and input a new command

oh so you dont have to hold down shift? I don't get it, I'll try it I guess.

Some thoughts while watching lightofheaven. Say there's a lane of creeps pushed all the way to your side, as carry it's your job to farm that lane in the most efficient manner possible. It seems that the best way would be to attack normally but also lasthit every creep and use the stop key as little as possible. That way the creeps wear down the fastest and your get gold faster than if you attack less. I've realized I spam stop way too often, lots of times I can get another hit or two in before going for the lasthit. This apparently makes my farming slower than usual. However attacking normally and lasthitting every creep does take some practice.
Also, when I see people buying stuff from the gobin shop they can complete items with a full inventory, how do they do it? Is it using shift?
|
You don't need to use shift. In the new versions of dota that's been redone.
If you're buying a guinsoo, i.e. you have a mystic staff / the orb, if you have all 6 slots and you buy a void stone now it will finish.

ah ok, curse backwards china and their 1.20/6.51 dota

Guys im on a mac. I see WarKeys is a program, but it says on website it just edits the customkeys.txt file ?? Is there a code you can edit in the customkeys.txt so that I can have Q assigned to my first inventory slot? I have been searching for a loong time if its possible.

I thought that the most efficient way would be to keep the creepline as close as your base as possible, and last hit every one.
Easy way of keeping the creeps relatively still is to first make sure they are even, and then make sure you attack your own creep once for every lasthit on an enemy creep.

that's only for early game not late game imo
