I've never understood why some people think stuff like this is so useful. I attack move for last hitting enemy creeps too, and it doesn't hurt me in any way, shape or form?

Less actions = faster = better.


This

I much prefer just right clicking denies. It's not a huge deal, it hasn't increased efficiency by a gorillion percent, and it hasn't made me a necessarily better player. However, it's made my time easier and it allowed me to get more denies on the fly. It's just up to personal preference.

Depends on your last hit style and hotkey setup IMO. For me A-clicking isn't a big thing, to the point of when I have played LoL for some time(just to check it out) I was A-clicking my own creeps all the time just to have something to do. I also do most of the stuff with my mouse, having all items bound to the customizable keys, meaning my keyboard hand isn't very busy

I much prefer just right clicking denies. It's not a huge deal, it hasn't increased efficiency by a gorillion percent, and it hasn't made me a necessarily better player. However, it's made my time easier and it allowed me to get more denies on the fly. It's just up to personal preference.


Right click deny was used in HoN so this option is probably popular among people making the transition.

Yea but HoN also allowed mods that are directly game-changing.
Hilarious for a 'competitive' game, even if the mods weren't allowed in tournaments.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

I would recommend nobody to use this. First of all, it's not meant to be like that. Secondly this is disabled in tournaments and are illegal (It was in HoN, so I'm guessing it's the same in DotA 2) it gives you a lame advantage that isn't meant to be there. - But I guess that's just my opinion.

For HoN, non-gameplay altering mods were allowed in the public matchmaking but were not used in tournaments.

I just want to make this clear: These are perfectly legal and Valve lets you use them in tournaments and on the public matchmaking. Options which they don't want you to use in these games are just disabled and won't activate unless cheat-mode is enabled in a custom game.

There is no chance of being banned for using these or any other console commands. NONE. Valve lets you enable console so you can use it! Just look at any other Valve game (like CS:Source or 1.6) and you will find these commands/options have been used in tournaments.

Please stop spreading misinformation!

i admit, i do use a script for the courier and auto attack off. these auto exec files are very useful for customising the game. some little tweaks that make quality of life a lot better.

They're really not cheats considering they're not flagged as such in the game.

That, and screen shake is in the game options as well. (Along with some others from the OP)
These things exist for a reason.

I really don't recommend changing to right-click deny as M-clicking, an essential part of dota, is awful mechanically. Plus, you don't want to A-click while running away from an enemy..

It doesn't actually change your right click to an a-click, unless I misunderstood.

I'd be really baffled, if stopping the screen shaking effect to see what's happening clearly was officially considered cheating... In the end, all of these options are given to you by the developer, so it's kinda hard to appreciate the morality of a-clicking to deny so you can "play the game as it's meant to be played".
So zen.

I don't want a major discussion either, but here is my right of reply:

When I first started playing, shadow blade (lothars) was quite popular on drow. As soon as dust of appearance was introduced people stopped getting it. In terms of stats, it doesn't give the best value for money so you probably buy it for the active ability. The invis is cheaper to counter and not that useful in team fights. Besides, with shadow blade you're often spending gold to save yourself from situations that better map awareness (which is free) can help correct. That being said, it's not a terrible item imo.

This is incorrect. This option only changes what right clicking your own creep does and nothing else. It is still right click to move, right click on an enemy to attack.

You do know that you can turn off screen shaking in the options, right
The ruminations are mine, let the world be yours.

I am messing around some with this, the dota_disable_range_finder 0 gives me a green bar towards where I am pointing it though, is it possible to have a green circle of 1200(experience range\blink dagger) when I have not clicked an ability, and have the circle resize itself to the abilitys range if i have an ability selected?

The other range finders does not seem to work on blinks, and is not as clear as the rangecircle is. I guess there is no such thing, ohwell what i have is good enough.

Try this adding this to your autoexec.cfg:

alias "+range" "dota_range_display 1100"
alias "-range" "dota_range_display 0"
bind "]" "+range"

It's not exactly what you asked for but, if you press the ] key you will create a circle with the range of a blink dagger. I like to set it to the key next to the key for the item slot where I put my blink dagger.
