Hotkeys

The hotkeys settings can be accessed by clicking on the little gear icon in the most top left corner in the main menu. Here, the player can customize many hotkeys, or select one of the many pre-set hotkey templates. Almost every key on the keyboard can be bound to something, with a very few exceptions. The exceptions usually have a set purpose in the game and thus are un-rebindable.

Contents

Unbindable keys [ edit ]

Several hotkeys have a set purpose, which cannot be changed. This results in them mostly being un-rebindable.

• The following keys are completely unbindable: ESC, SHIFT (left and right), CTRL (left and right), MOUSE 1, MOUSE 2
• The ALT key can only bound together with other keys, as a combo key. The ALTGR key is treated as the same key.
  • Although the ALT modifier can be bound to another key, ALT is still unbindable. When the modifier gets rebound, ALT has no use.
• The WINDOWS KEY (left and right) (or COMMAND KEY on Apple keyboards) are unbindable, but they can be turned bindable in the advanced hotkey settings. These keys keep their default function, which is opening the start menu on the desktop. This is true even when the keys get bound ingame.
• The PRINT KEY is fully bindable, but it also keeps its default function, which is to take screenshots.
• The following keys are bindable on their own, but cannot be combined with ALT: PRINT KEY, TAB
• All other standard keys are bindable.

Basic hotkeys [ edit ]

Basic hotkeys are active while playing a match. The player can change the hotkeys at any time, even during a match. There are hotkeys for abilities, items, unit actions, shop actions, chat, interface and control groups. In the advanced hotkeys, there are additional settings for unit actions, shop actions, interface and control groups, and the hotkeys for camera actions, saved camera positions and some hotkey setting options.

Hotkey templates [ edit ]

By default, the game uses the “Arrow (Default)” hotkey layout. The player can choose from a variety of pre-set hotkey templates, which can be found by clicking on “Reset hotkeys. ” at the bottom left of the settings menu. Available templates are:

Template	Description
Arrow (Default)	Dota 2 default hotkeys.
WASD	Dota 2 default hotkeys, adapted for using W, A, S and D for camera movement.
Legacy Keys	Dota 1 style hotkeys; with different ability hotkeys for every hero and unit. 1
MMO	Key bindings similar to various Massively Multiplayer Online games.
League of Legends	Key bindings similar to League of Legends.
Heroes of Newerth	Key bindings similar to Heroes of Newerth.
Smite	Key bindings similar to Smite.

1 Legacy keys can also be enabled by ticking the corresponding option in the Advanced Hotkeys settings, rather than starting over with this template.

Activating a template unbinds all hotkeys used in it from their existing actions. Hotkeys can still be changed freely after selecting a template, except Legacy Keys’ item hotkeys.

Abilities [ edit ]

There are 6 ability slots which can be used. If one slot is empty and contains no ability, it is not visible in-game, and all abilities coming after it are moved together. For example, if a unit has an ability in slot 1 and 3, but no ability in slot 2, then the 2nd slot is not visible and the 3rd ability is moved next to the 1st ability, so that there is no gap. However, the slots are still bound according to the settings. Despite the 3rd slot being moved to remove the gap, its hotkey is still equal to whatever is set for the 3rd slot in the ability hotkey settings.

Heroes usually have 3 abilities in their first 3 slots, and their ultimate always in the 6 slot. This causes the ultimate spell to always use whatever hotkey is set for the 6th slot, despite the ultimate visually appearing in the 4th slot. This is why the hotkey of the 4th ability on non-hero units is not equal to the hotkey of ultimate abilities. The non-hero unit has 4 abilities in its 4 slots and has the 5th and 6th slot empty, so they are not displayed. If its 4th ability would be moved to the 6th slot, it would make visually no difference, but change its hotkey to what is set in the 6th slot.

By default, the ability hotkeys apply to every unit the player controls. It is possible though, to bind different hotkeys to heroes, couriers and other units by turning “Unit Specific Hotkeys” on. It is also possible to bind unique hotkeys for each hero, however, this is not possible for other units. Clicking on “Clear” after having given non-hero units, couriers or an individual hero unique settings, sets the hotkeys back to what the player set as default.

The player can choose between regular cast (select spell and then select target) and quickcast (select spell and automatically cast it where the cursor is). Autocast is by default ALT+ability hotkey. It is possible to choose between regular and quickcast for couriers, non-heroes and for each hero, just like how unique bindings are possible. If the player wishes to use regular and quickcast, or wants to use different autocast hotkeys, the “Enable Advanced Quickcast/Autocast Hotkeys” setting can be turned on, which allows setting different hotkeys for regular, quick – and autocast for each slot. This also works together with unit specific hotkeys. However, advanced quickcast/autocast hotkeys is not compatible with legacy hotkeys. Here, the player can only decide between regular and quickcast, and autocast is always ALT+hotkey.

Dota 2 quickcast vs normal

Quickcast vs Regular/ Pros vs. Cons/ If it’s right for you.

Before I start, I want to explain a little bit about why I decided to write this guide and what it could potentially mean for you, if you aren’t interested then skip ahead to the third paragraph where I explain what Quick Cast is. So I was in a game with a friend from one of my classes who’s significantly lower mmr (2k+ I was on a smurf) than me and playing Meepo as sort of practice for my micro on the hero. I know the skill level of the players wasn’t the best and to be fair, my Meepo is probably above average at best, but he kept asking how I was able to poof and blink so quickly because Meepo was a hero he had trouble playing. At first I thought it was maybe just the skill gap and micro skills so I explained to him it was just practice. We went into a private lobby after and I tried to teach him the steps, but to no avail. He asked how I was able to click the mouse 4 times right after clicking poof then blink as well. That’s when I realized that he was playing on Regular cast, so I told him that I didn’t click my mouse once and was playing on quick cast. To my (sorta?) surprise, he didn’t even know what that was! I explained it to him, and long story short, he was able to finally get the poof combo off. He’s about 3k mmr (up from 2.7k) at this moment and hadn’t even heard of the mechanic, so I figured there must be others as well, so I decided to write this guide to help others out and maybe get others to switch and up their mmr.

**What is Quick Cast?**

It’s a fairly simple concept but many have a hard time adjusting. Basically, instead of clicking the spot or unit that you want to cast a spell or item, you instead hover over it with your mouse and click the item/ skill button and it will instantly cast. This works on all spells and items that have a point click portion, even orb attacks.

– Way faster when doing multiple actions, especially on heroes like Meepo, Tinker, Invoker, etc.
– Let’s you perform actions instantly, especially useful on heroes that have no cast time like Rubick, Invoker, etc.
– Really good for mobile heroes with blink dagger, or some sort of pseudo blink in general (mostly initiating heroes love this, i. e. Void, Enigma, Batrider, Shaker, etc.)
– Less apm to worry about (unless you’re EE level asian and don’t give a shit)
– Less time for opponents to react.
– At higher level play, it can save you a few crucial milliseconds that could save you or secure you a kill.
– You can’t double click accidentally, spells like Press the Attack, I felt I would always spam click it to try and save an ally only to use it on myself, this gets rid of that completely.
– Easier to pre-cast items or spells like hex or silence, for those that don’t know what this is, it’s clicking a hero out of range that you know will blink or move into range. You click them while they are our of range and the second that they do blink in, the item or spell will instantly go off.
– Easier Shift-Que on spells and items (Useful for SK mostly)

– Might be hard to get used to at first (I had really hard time with Magnus Skewer)
– Can’t double click to cast on self, yes I know I said this before, but its a pro and a con (things like force staff, Empower, Urn, etc). This may or may not be a bad thing for you, but generally I found it a hindrance for most things, but you get used to I guess.
– Can’t see aoe of spells, this may not be a problem if you’re just good enough and know the aoe on your spells, however even the best players may miss a spells sometimes. There is a work around I will explain later on though.
– Some spells you may have trouble animation cancelling if the cast time is fast, mostly not an issue but it’s different for everyone.
– Easier to miscast or cast at random times.

**STUFF THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN YOU PLAY ON QUICKCAST:**

– You do not instantly become a better player, it’s a preference not a magic potion that makes you 6k mmr.
– Cast spells faster, you can in theory get the same speed from regular click cast, but I generally felt it was slightly longer.
– Turn into Quick Silver.

**Is Quick Cast right for me?**

It’s all up to personal preference at the end of the day, I found that in general, it made some heroes a lot better and worked really well when used with blink dagger. Heroes like Brew and WK should be able to always blink out of their ult’s unless there is an instant triggering spell or DOT on the ground. It will allow you to focus your APM on other things in a fight and generally get off spells faster. If you find that you aren’t good with AOE spells, then put the regular cast on ALT + (button of your quickcast), this will let you see AOE on spells if you aren’t used to it. I know this doesn’t work for everyone, me personally I use my items on the Alt +qweasd but it’s the best I could offer.

SM Quake Sounds FAQ

Q: I want to add sound sets but I don’t know how to do it.
A: That is because I provided absolutely no documentation on how to do it.

Q: So, can you tell me how?
A: Well. OK

• The top of the addons/sourcemod/config/quakesoundlist. cfg file has a section called “sound sets”. Inside this section are 5 places to have sound sets. First add a short name of your sound into one these.
• Next you need to add a line to each of the sound keys in the file using that short name that has a path to the sound file relative to the sound/ directory.
• Next you need to go the addons/sourcemod/translations/plugin. quakesounds. txt file and add a key for your sound set.
• Lastly, don’t forget to add the sound files to your server.
• If all this sounds confusing than just look at the standard and female sound configurations and do the same thing for your sounds.

Q: What if I want to have more than 5 sound sets.
A: Then your players will hate you for making them download that many sounds. But, if you REALLY want to do this then you will need to edit the script or send me a note and ask me for a custom copy.

Q: What if I want to remove one of the existing sound sets?
A: Just change the sound set data to “”

Q: I want the DOMINATING sound to be played at 5 kills instead of 4.
A: That is not a question, but I will pretend that it was and answer it anyway. In the addons/sourcemod/config/quakesoundlist. cfg there is data for “kills”. You can change the values to whatever you need to.

Q: What does “config” “9” mean?
A: It means play the sound and display the text to everyone. Here is a complete description of how to set that feild.
The field now works as follows
0: Off
1: Play sound to everyone
2: Play sound to attacker
4: Play sound to victim
8: Print text to everyone
16: Print text to attacker
32: Print text to victim

You need to add the above values to get your value
If you want to play sounds and text to everyone 1 + 8 = 9
If you want to print text to everyone but only want sounds to play for those involved: 2 + 4 + 8 = 14

Q: Your version numbering scheme is really confusing.
A: It makes perfect sense when you consider that I have changed the versioning scheme three times without any announcement. The current versioning scheme as of version 1.3 looks like this x. y.z. A change in x is called a major release. A change in y is a feature release. A change in z is fix or minor upgrade. Changes in z never require updating configuration files. You can just overwrite your quakesounds. smx file.

Q: I was looking at the changelog and I noticed that you are always fixing bugs. Wouldn’t it be easier just to write the plugins without all the bugs?
A: Yes, but then I wouldn’t have anything to do to pass the time.

Q: Doesn’t all this configuration seem overly complicated? Couldn’t we make it simpler?
A: Probably.

Q: I installed the plugin but it will not load.
A: Make sure you installed all the files. If you open the distribution you should be able to just drop that into your cstrike or dod folder.

Q: I made sure to copy the latest copy of all the files but it still doesn’t work.
A: Check your server logs and addons/sourcemod/logs for errors and then post into this thread.

Q: I want to use your plugin with a mod other than CS:S, DOD:S or HL2DM, will it work?
A: I have no idea. Dota 2 quake sounds for counter strike If you post what mod you want it to work with I am glad to check it out. I might need your help to test it though.

Q: I was playing on our server earlier and we had this one guy get like 25 kills in a row and profanity came up on the screen and played over my speakers! How do I make it stop?
A: There are two ways to fix this problem:

1. Stop letting your players get so many consecutive kills.
2. Change the addons/sourcemod/configs/quakesoundlist. cfg and addons/sourcemod/translations/plugin. quakesounds. txt to play/display whatever you want.

Q: I set sm_quakesounds_who to 3 but everyone is still hearing the sounds. What is going on?
A: sm_quakesounds_who, sm_quakesounds_female, sm_quakesounds_min_kills and quite a few others have been deprecated between 1.0 and 1.4. They have been replaced by more flexible configuration in the addons/sourcemod/configs/quakesoundlist. cfg file.

Q: All the text displays are in English. I hate english! Why don’t you have more translations?
A: That is because I only know english and as of 1.4 nobody has bothered to submit any translations.

Fountain skewer dota 2

Hero (unit type)

Heroes are the essential main characters of Dota 2, controlled by the players. Heroes possess the three attributes, strength, agility and intelligence, from which one is their primary attribute. They capable of leveling up through the means of experience, up to level 30, gaining additional attribute points, and ability points which can be spent to level up abilities or gain even more attributes. Heroes are also able to spend gold to purchase items.

Contents

Spawning [ edit ]

All heroes spawn once at the beginning of the match after the picking phase, but only if the player locked in their pick.

The only heroes which spawn later on are hero clones, which can only be created by 3 heroes: Meepo , who can gain up to 4 permanent clones of himself by leveling Divided We Stand , which all die together when any of them dies (including the prime Meepo), Arc Warden , who can create a temporary clone of himself by casting Tempest Double , which expires like a regular summon, and Monkey King , who can create an army of temporary clones with Wukong’s Command , which are uncontrollable and only attack heroes. Like heroes, these clones do not disappear when dying (or expiring). Meepo’s clones respawn like regular heroes, while Arc Warden’s and Monkey King’s clones respawn whenever Tempest Double or Wukong’s Command is cast again. These hero clones are almost fully treated like regular heroes, with a few special interactions with some spells for fairness. However, since Meepo’s clones and Arc Warden’s clone work fundamentally differently (Meepo clones being permanents like heroes, and death to one means death to all, while Arc Warden’s clone is rather similar to a summon or an illusion), each have different unique interactions. Monkey King’s clones rather act like a spell effect and cannot be interacted with in any way. They stand at set locations and attack nearby enemy heroes automatically until the spell expires.

Illusions are also hero-type units, but unlike heroes, they do not respawn, but despawn completely after dying, like other units and summons. Each spell which creates illusions spawns completely new illusions on recast. Illusions are basically hero-based summons, copying the hero, but acting like a summon.

Killing and dying [ edit ]

Killing a hero grants players much bigger bonuses than killing almost any other unit. Heroes grant scaling gold based on their level and their current killing streak, and scaling experience based on their level. Heroes also gain killing streaks upon killing heroes. A killing streak increases the hero’s bounty, increasing its value for the enemy. A killing streak starts with 3 hero kills without any deaths in-between, and is capped at 10 kills. A streak longer than 10 has the same worth as a 10 killing streak. A hero’s current streak is globally announced whenever it makes a kill.

Streak length	Streak name	Streak value
0, 1, 2	N/A	N/A	0
3	Player is on a	60
4	Player is dominating	120
5	Player is on a mega Kill streak	180
6	Player is unstoppable!	240
7	Player is wicked sick	300
8	Player is on a monster kill streak	360
9	Player is GODLIKE	420
10+	Player is beyond GODLIKE , someone kill them!!	480
Announcer responses are customizable

The very first hero kill of the match, called the First Blood! , also grants an additional gold 150 to the killing hero. A hero’s bounty uses the following formula:

100 + streak value + (hero level × 8) (+ first blood)

A hero is only granted this gold if it actually killed the enemy (i. e. did killing blow). Otherwise, the hero either only gets assist gold and experience, or no gold and experience at all, based on how much time passed since the last time it damaged the target, and how far away the hero is if too much time passed.

Killing a hero also grants experience based on the hero’s level. Up to level 5 the experience bounty grows by 20 per level, starting at 100 on level 1 and reaching 180 on level 5. From level 6 and onward, each level increases the experience bounty by 100, starting with 280 on level 6, reaching 2180 on level 25. Although a hero can level up to 30, the experience bounty maxed out at level 25.

Killing multiple heroes in quick succession also results in a multi-kill. However, unlike a killing streak, a multi-kill has no gameplay influence and merely serves for aesthetics. Multi-kills do not require the hero to stay alive in-between the kills, if the hero dies, the multi-kill can still continue. A multi-kill occurs when killing a second hero within 18 seconds of the first kill. The multi-kill can be extended by killing even more heroes, all within 18 seconds of the previous kill. Like a killing streak, a multi-kill has no limit, but is “soft-capped” at 5, repeating the same line for 5 and more kills. The multi-kill stages are:

Kills	Announcement	Announcement with killing streak
1	N/A	N/A	N/A
2	Player got a double kill!	. with a double kill!
3	Player has a TRIPLE kill!	. with a TRIPLE kill!
4	Player earned an ULTRA KILL!	. with an ULTRA KILL!
5+	RAMPAGE.	. RAMPAGE.
Announcer responses are customizable

A hero’s death has a much bigger impact than the death of almost any other unit. When a hero dies, it stays dead for an amount of time based on its level and the player loses gold based on the player’s current net worth divded by 40. There is no way to directly reduce or avoid this gold loss. However, only unreliable gold is lost, reliable gold is not lost on death, meaning if a hero has almost no unreliable gold but a lot of reliable gold, dying does not cost as much as it would with much unreliable gold and little reliable gold. Dying also results in the loss of any ongoing killing streak the hero has. Heroes do not lose experience on death. As mentioned before, a death also grants gold and experience to nearby enemies and the killer. However, gold and experience is only granted to the enemy, and streaks are only lost when dying to an enemy.

Dying to neutral creeps, or getting denied by an ally or oneself neither grants the enemy any bounty, nor ends the current killing streak. Dying to a neutral creep results in a minimum death time of 26 seconds.

A table showing how much gold a hero grants and loses on death can be found here. A table showing how much experience a hero grants on death can be found here.

Respawning [ edit ]

After the first spawn, a hero does not spawn again. However, what heroes do instead is respawning. After a hero dies, it comes back to life after an amount of time based on its level. The maximum respawn time is reached on level 25. Upon respawning, the hero gets instantly moved to the fountain area, with its health and mana reset. Cooldowns are unaffected and buffs and debuffs are not cleared upon respawning.

Several abilities and items are able to affect the respawn timer and the respawn location.

Buildings

are a type unit that are not controlled by any player. At the beginning of each match, a set of buildings spawn at set locations for both teams. Both factions have the same set of buildings, with only their appearance differing from each other. Buildings take mostly defensive roles and are the main objective of the game.

All buildings have the same base properties. They are immune to most spells (with only a few spells affecting them), have the structure armor type, deal siege damage if they can attack and are immobile. When destroyed, some buildings grant gold to the entire enemy team, while others grant gold only to whoever made the last hit. Once below 10% health, buildings (except for the Ancients) can be denied to prevent the enemy from getting their gold bounties, or to reduce the amount they get. Buildings do not grant experience. Once destroyed, a building is permanently lost, as they do not respawn.

There are a total of 29 buildings on each side.

Contents

Towers [ edit ]

Towers are the main line of defense for both teams, attacking any non-neutral enemy that gets within their range. Both factions have all three lanes guarded by three towers each. Additionally, each faction’s Ancient have two towers as well, resulting in a total of 11 towers per faction. Towers come in 4 different tiers:

• Tier 1 towers, located at the end of each lane.
• Tier 2 towers, located halfway through each lane.
• Tier 3 towers, located on top of the 3 ramps at each base.
• Tier 4 towers, located in pairs in front of each Ancient.

Tier 1 towers are invulnerable during the preparation phase, until the battle begins. Each Tier 2 and tier 3 tower is invulnerable until the lower tier tower preceding it in its lane is destroyed. The two tier 4 towers are invulnerable until any of the tier 3 towers have been destroyed. Barracks do not have to be destroyed to make tier 4 towers vulnerable. Both of the tier 4 towers must be destroyed in order to remove the Ancient’s invulnerability.

All towers have a vision range of 1900 during the day. Tier 1 towers have a night vision of 800, while higher tier towers have a night vision range of 1100. Additionally, all towers have True Sight in a 700 area around them, and have one defensive and one supportive ability. Towers can attack, but never attack nearby neutral creeps.

Building	Health	Deny Health	Armor	HP Regen	Backdoor Protection
Tier 1 Tower	1800	180	12	0	N
Tier 2 Tower	2000	200	16	0	Y
Tier 3 Tower	2000	200	16	0	Y
Tier 4 Tower	2100	210	21	0	Y

Building	Damage	BAT	DPS	Attack Range	Projectile Speed
Tier 1 Tower	100‒120	1	110	700	750
Tier 2 Tower	170‒180	0.95	184.21	700	750
Tier 3 Tower	170‒180	0.95	184.21	700	750
Tier 4 Tower	170‒180	0.95	184.21	700	750

Towers grant a gold bounty to whoever makes the last hit, but also grant a team bounty to the entire team. When denied, both team get half the team bounty.

Building	Team Bounty	Last Hit Bounty	Last Hit Total	No Last Hit Total
Tier 1 Tower	100 (50 if denied)	150‒250	650‒750	500
Tier 2 Tower	120 (60 if denied)	150‒250	750‒850	600
Tier 3 Tower	140 (70 if denied)	150‒250	850‒950	700
Tier 4 Tower	160 (80 if denied)	150‒250	950‒1050	800

Attack priority [ edit ]

Towers are using regular auto-attacking, so when multiple enemies engage the tower, it naturally targets the first enemy that gets within its attack range. It sticks with that target until it can no longer be attacked (it dies, gets out of attack range or becomes attack immune). Once that happens, it chooses the next attack target using the following priority system.

1. Closest enemy unit attacking the tower itself
2. Closest enemy unit attacking an ally of the tower
3. Closest enemy unit

It does not matter whether the unit is a hero or a non-hero unit, they are treated equally. Units treated differently are wards and siege creeps. These units are always attacked as last. If a tower attacks one of these units, and then another unit or hero come within range, the tower immediately switches to the new unit. Siege creeps have a higher priority than wards.

There are two additional scenarios where the tower switches its attack target immediately:

1. If an enemy hero attacks an allied hero while within 500 range of the tower, it immediately switches to that enemy hero. This only works against enemy heroes. Non-hero units attacking heroes do not cause the tower to switch aggro towards them. The attack does not have to finish or connect, the attack order alone is enough. However, it has to be a regular attack, instant attacks or manually casting an active attack modifier do not count. This behavior is akin to lane creeps’ behavior, which do the same in this scenario.

Dota 2 chat symbols heart

Dota 2 chat symbols heart

It turns out that the 7.00 patch with the UI update completely removed this feature. There are no colors in the chat even from manual copy and paste.

I won’t delete this guide just in case this is actually a bug which Valve is willing to fix. When that happens I will update this guide if something will be different.

Link to all symbols with names of colors (go for the RAW Paste Data to see them):
http://pastebin. com/HdkcTDbM

All you have to do is to copy the symbol before the number and copy it to the chat.

Here they are invisible. They are between the dot and the number. If you do it correctly you should be able to copy them from here. Or you could just copy it with the dot and the number and delete them afterwards. I also added them after the each arrow, so choose the way you like the most.

The best way of managing those is to create your own. txt file with notepad and copy all of the stuff there. This way you will always have easy access to them even without this guide. Some of the color symbols however appear differently in notepad (like arrow or as space made with tabulator key) and some will become completely invisible.

The symbol in the dota 2 chat will appear as white rectangle:

The text in front of the symbol will appear in desired color:

You can bind colored text to some key. However you won’t be able to see color symbols in the dota 2 console. So I suggest opening notepad first so you can configure your text there and constantly alt tab to dota to check if your text looks like you wanted. If you want to have some space between your nickname and your text you have to use some color symbol first since it won’t work otherwise when binding. If you want the space but you do not want to change the color just use the default color symbol then.

As you can see color symbols are invisible in the console. But it doesn’t matter, it still works fine once you press enter. For binding I suggest using numerical keyboard buttons. They start with kp_ prefix (remember to have Num Lock turn on when testing binds!). Instead of say command you can use say_team so only your team will be able to see it. And by the way emoticons unfortunately do not work with say/say_team commands.

And the final result.

You won’t be able to use binds in menu chat and spectator chat. However you still will be able to use colors in spectator chat when you paste your binds/color symbols manually into the chat. But there is some bug in spectator chat and some colors will appear differently. I saw light blue color come out of silver color. But I do not know how to get it normally.

Here are some symbols that I have find out that work in dota. Dota 2 chat symbols heart With those you could get creative and make some awesome binds. Some symbols can look a bit different in game.

If you want to check out more symbols search for ascii symbols/acii art/twitch copy pastas/unicode characters and so on. But you will have to check it by yourself if those symbols work in Dota. Dota 2 chat symbols heart Lenny faces do not work (thank god!).

If you have found some new symbols that work in dota then please post them in the comments so I can add them in this section.

If you want your text to be fullwidth like in “PAUSE” example then use this site:
http://fsymbols. com/generators/w >

I will give you some examples on how to use those colors and symbols to inspire you to make your own binds. I won’t be publishing the “source code” of those binds (so don’t even ask for them in the comments). You can easily recreate them since I posted all you need to know to make them but I really want you to make your own stuff. So please treat those as inspiration. And do not forget that you can use them as informative binds like with the Pause example in other section.

You can use binds to react to awesome/atrocious moments ingame:

You can also repay the annoyance to non-English speaking Russians spamming in the chat:

Or you can use them to have some fun in spectator chat. However you have to paste them manually, because binds do not work in spectator chat. So prepare yourself a. Dota 2 chat symbols heart txt file beforehand to easily copy them. But remember to have some 3-6min pauses between posting those:

And if the chat is rebelling against your team you can always response with friendly banter by posting something like this:

If you want to share your own work feel free to post the links to screenshots of your binds in the comments.

Do not overuse those binds. People react differently to them. Some players have really good laugh at well placed bind (I was surprised that even some Russians laugh at that flag bind) but some just get more annoyed. Especially when you spam them constantly.

All I can say to warn you is that since I started using them I got my first reports.

I realize that multiple guides about chat colors already exist. But most of them do not have easy to copy color symbols. And many of them use the same colors multiple times (however some of those colors are different but they are so similar that there is no point in showing them). Or some colors simply do not work. I also want to have a list of colors that I would easily recognize and use directly ingame (why none have made a rainbow is beyond my understanding).

If you like the gu >[majan22.deviantart. com] where I sometimes post stuff like faceswaps of Dota 2 heroes which you can use as your profile images.

Let’s hope that UI update won’t break those colors.

Dota 2 most epic fail ever

What is Bad about DotA 2?

In this article, we would like to discuss some most unpleasant and terrible moments for any DotA 2 player. What is bad about DotA 2?

Terrible Lane Phase

We are all used to think badly about DotA 2 when things go wrong for us. I think, everyone experienced times when it was just impossible to play the laning phase normally. Enemies don’t allow you to farm or can even kill you right after you approach creeps. The game starts like that… and here is your tilt!

As a result, it will be very difficult for you to come back to your normal game after several minutes of pain and suffering. And the most frequent reason for that is not an imbalanced combination picked by opponents. The point is the wrong lane positioning of your team: like two melee characters on one lane; a wrong hero picked for the hard lane, two carry heroes faming one lane, etc. These things can just leave no chance for any teamplay. Though, all of such troubles could be avoided yet on the pick stage.

Courier Kill

The next point for a “bad DotA” is the loss of a courier. The most unpleasant situation possible is the courier kill when you expect to get a new just purchased item. Courier kills never happen by accident. As a rule, heroes like Bounty Hunter or Furion kill it.

Or it happens when you fight on your enemy’s side of the map and forget that ordered a courier to fly to you earlier. So, don’t be too lazy to spend a few seconds to guide a courier through the non-standard route once you see BH or Furion in the enemy team. And if you feel the fight is about to happen, you better just postpone using a courier.

Counterpicks

Let’s suppose you decided to play as Wraith King and then suddenly noticed Anti-Mage, Nyx or Quas-Wex Invoker picked to play against you. After that, when your Reincarnation doesn’t work a couple times, you start blaming DotA for everything, not yourself. But the point is that when you pick a carry or a mid lane hero first, you let your opponents prepare some bad surprise for your team. That is why professional esports players never pick their key characters at once.

Items Lost

Why else can DotA 2 be bad? Of course, because of lost items 🙂 Examples are simple to find here: you farm neutrals as Axe, put your Tranquils out of your stash, turn away for a second, and… Well, goodbye, green boots! I bet many players have no wish to continue playing the match after such a nasty thing occurs. Or you decide to restore mana like a PRO! You put Arcane boots out on the ground and then the evil invisible enemy takes your item away.

But then again, every situation like that is YOUR fault, not a bad DotA! Just teach yourself to take items back quickly or throw them directly under your feet. And don’t forget about invisible enemy characters that always can be nearby.

Rapier

The scariest nightmare for a DotA 2 player to blame everyone and to call DotA 2 the worst game ever is when they lose the Divine Rapier. Really, you can’t imagine the situation worse than that.

Players buy the Rapier when they’re glad with an easy game or when they need their last chance during despair moments. At any case, the most Epic Fail is when that Rapier falls off your dead body. Losing gold is OK, but gifting 300 damage to enemies usually means a lost match and a spoiled mood. So, you better don’t risk and buy some other item to finish the game and avoid taking a lot of moral damage and rage from your teammates.

These were not all moments when DotA 2 could be the worst game ever. Tell us what your most recent bad DotA episode was, share this article with your friends and stay with our DotA2 Club to be aware of latest news and avoid missing interesting articles about our favorite game!
