Do NOT be afraid of changing your hotkeys to something more efficient.Memorizing all the shop hotkeys brings your mechanics to a next level, allowing you to do flashy plays like upgrading the courier with 2 button as someone dives to kill it. If you think you have all your hotkeys mastered and there’s nothing you can improve on – turn on “Shop always uses hotkeys” setting on.Example: blink dagger is way more effective on “Q” than on “Space”. Do not put items that require extremely fast reaction on slots that are somehow harder to access and/or require you to change position of your hard before using.That way you’ll never have to look at your inventory before casting a tp scroll or magic wand. Start putting items into the same slot every game.Avoid using alt or ctrl+hotkey for inventory hotkeys, this makes things really hard when trying to play heroes like tinker effectively.As you progress in skill as a player you’ll notice that situations where you have 6 active items in your inventory are really common and not having one of them binded proves to be a serious disadvantage. Show names/hero icons on minimap (default alt) Scoreboard – for constantly checking enemy levelsĩ. Binded camera position hotkeys (rune spots)ħ. “Missing” – message to allies, really useful in pubsĦ. Courier, all courier commands – tick “mirror hero hotkeys” in your settingsĥ. The most useful one is probably tp scroll.Ĥ. Purchase sticky – In your settings you can select one item that can be bought after pressing this hotkey. Insanely useful when waiting for important items like bottle.Ģ. Quickbuy – allows you to buy an item that you “shift queued” instantly. In my opinion, if you want to play better and waste less time, you SHOULD have hotkeys for:ġ. Most of the people set their hotkeys to their hero spells and inventory, and that’s it. Legacy hotkeys are for people that are so used to hotkeys from W3 DotA that it would be simply too hard for them to convert to any of above combinations. If you’re not a DotA veteran, I strongly suggest using the 1, 2 or 3 combination. To start off, there are 4 most common hotkey settings:Īs you can see you can manually select your favorite hotkey setting from the list in DotA 2 options: ![]() I WILL tell you though some general rules you could follow, and how I discovered my ideal combination. I’ll state this clear: i will NOT tell you what hotkeys you should use, if you feel comfortable with legacy hotkeys where spells have their own hotkeys scattered all over the keyboard, go for it. But how can you be efficient when you keep missclicking spells and items or not hitting hotkeys that are too spread out? Yes, you can’t. To answer all of them, here’s a short guide to choosing your hotkeys:Īs I said previously, I’m a big fan of optimising and making your play more efficient. People wanted to know how to choose them, which settings are the best and what hotkeys I use myself. After writing my “ Advanced solo mid guide” I’ve received a lot of questions about hotkeys.
