Hey BSJ, on this topic what kind of mouse DPI setting do you use / what do you consider optimal?

[@MrDeanGr]

What quick move does sir PepoG

[@ralph8616]

Good timing with this series, keep it up 👍

I don't think a certain hotkey setup is better. Bring in slacks' hotkeys

[@Zage22]

Great and quick guide, thanks for the video

[@SuperZelda98]

I know i come late to learn dota but the options changed since this video so im a bit confused for exemple there are an option to instead the right click to force attack that is click right on allay to: and then u need to choose 1) for following 2) for attack 3) for deny what's ur suggestion?

[@DonaldGaron]

IMO the best cancel hotkey is spacebar. You always have your thumb ready to cancel something. Also : I never got used to using the same hotkey for different things by using the Alt Modifier thing. I think if you don't get use to it from the start, it's very hard to get used to it after. Additionnally, I prefer using Alt for casting stuff on myself or to switch wards (Smart Double Tap).

[@David-ws4it]

I set cancel to tab and attack move to space. This is the best set up possible prove me wrong.

[@DonaldGaron]

@@David-ws4it Which finger do you use for tab?

[@David-ws4it]

@@DonaldGaron the one between my little and middle finger (ring finger?!). I use wasd to move the camera 😅 Don't you think moving the camera with your left hand and clicking with your right hand is optimal?? I can position the camera and click spells at the same time.

[@DonaldGaron]

@@David-ws4it Oh boy The ring finger for Tab is good WASD for camera = horrible. You don't have any fingers available to do anything! Camera should be with the mouse (Edge Pan with or without camera grip)

[@clivevii2231]

@@David-ws4it You use WASD to MOVE THE CAMERA?? And then you say "prove me wrong" dude I remember BSJ flaming a guy for doing this in a coaching session, and I was so confused that people actually do that

[@mitchell7523]

just started 2 days ago and found ur channel and i have been craving a warcraft 3 game for a long time and ive bounced around Dota 2 an played every type like league of legends but i have fallen in love with this game and my mains r of course the Lich an Lifestealer - please of anyone has any other people if the community of Dota let me know

[@AMassiveHeadache]

huh, i never thought about the fact my hotkeys could have gotten messed up at any point, but this made me double check and christ i'm glad i did and don't know how long i've had some bad ones

[@blase9786]

Video idea! You should go under cover on dota and coach players with the new feature 😈

[@stanleyvanaswegen6785]

BSJ the boss man

[@clivevii2231]

Nice idea for a series! I love it! I just wish there was a way to enable Quickast/Normal cast for specific Items, and not having to be bound to which slots I have set up as Quickcast/Normal cast

[@jqa16]

Yeah same i shuffle my items so much in game that it takes time to put items on their designated hotkey. Alt+qwas are quick cast and alt+ED are normal cast. I hope they change the legavy hotkey for drow though

[@YY-mk4ti]

Yeah I agree with this one

[@Axios_Deminence]

Good news, you can do that now

[@alongpongener8997]

Our dear Brian BJS has a new personality 😂

[@pimitrichesik7620]

ikr

[@sashavickers3800]

Quick question. How do people CS with QWER as spellls when the A is down to the right. Why not have spells WERT its easy to use A and S for last hitting?

[@mostjuanted725]

Thanks bsj.. this helps a lot

[@marketotconthecoy2960]

What is the meaning of "mouse4" "Mouse5" In Item section, and how to use it??

[@themoondial2627]

Gaming mice have buttons on them, 2 or more. You can set hotkeys for those buttons.

[@DerpyHoovesy]

Honestly for you it might just be better to either use 123456 or zxcvbn whatever you prefer for items, its pretty intuitive and works well enough.

[@ericshun3331]

I dont even play dota anymore, why am i watching this

[@ericshun3331]

@Nicklas Kleemann thank you but dota is way too toxic and competitive for me now. I just like to watch every now and then

[@paquibotlouis2002]

play dota 2

[@loueppi]

Been playing since 2013 and still havent enabled quickcast. Really should get used to it.

[@clivevii2231]

Whoa, I've never used Quick Attack, this setting is so awesome!

[@rastafari2k3]

quick attack is a absolute MUST. Same with quick cast on spells like Viper's poison attack, or Drow Rangers's frozen arrows. Attack walking fast without quickcast/quickattack is a nightmare lol

[@swinglen]

finally well english spoken tutorial on hot keys..Thank you BSJ!!

[@charbelabounader7009]

I wish I watched this before fucking up my hotkey muscle memory on the wrong keys

[@theenoodlegod4672]

Yeah this

[@appsenence9244]

Bsj bro I know and feel what you say about the fingerprint thing but I figured the most optimal hotkeys and that's the system of hotkeys that allow for shortest distance traveled for my fingers. Not a genius thought just that there is one but the advantage is negligible

[@kullekusk8136]

How many hotkeys does the average hero have im Dota 2? Including average amount of items to be activated and perhaps toggles for attack move etc?

[@mattryan5393]

I can't figure out how to keybind MOUSE5 and MOUSE4. I can't find this option in my corsair ICUE software. Can I use f10 and f11 instead? I didn't see those as default anywhere in Dota.

[@jmsxxxx]

what is the point of double click to self cast if u use quickcast ? u cant self cast with quickcast on unless u alt + bind

Hi, are there any specific settings to deny allies if they're at low HP? I've tried so many times, I'm never able to right click deny an ally.

[@flashy3452]

Pretty sure it's force attack.

[@Timeistheuniverse]

BSJ making NA great again

[@Vaderrrr]

Hey BSJ, i got a question and a problem with the alt modifier. I put it on "G" now, but i cant ping in the "game screen" anymore, i can still ping on the minimap pushing my alt modifier, but not in the game itself, for example if i want to ping a neutral camp or a tower, or hold and use the ping wheel. Do you have a solution for that? Great job on this video btw! It helped a lot

[@ParducciSk8]

BSJ GOD

[@sotvrno93]

man, fuck everything about the video. this intro is awesome. The melody in question is from "Romance" by Hiroshi Suzukii and it was sampled over and over into even more godly tracks, i.e. $uicideboy$'s "All That Glitters Is Not Gold, but It's Still Damn Beautiful". I think DJ YUNG VAMP sampled this as well, its a classic one.

[@EdgarTheOgre]

My keys (want opinions) A: Attack, Q: Stop SDF: abilities 1, 2, and 3 GH: abilities 4 and 5. Space: Ultimate WER: items 234: items I believe it is a very fast and compact set up if you are used to use your piky (which I have donde since I played SC and WC3). i got reported for scripting all the time, but I have never in my life been into low priority.

[@anubislee36]

Can someone explain "control groups"? How do you set a control group? I don't see it anywhere in the hotkeys. Yet I see buttons to SELECT control groups ????

[@Mayrik92]

select hero or illusions, and press Ctrl + any key, to set a group. so every time you press the key, it auto selects those units.

[@noice8785]

u cant double click a quickcast setup...u should active the smart key which required +alt to represent double click..for eg:ur tp is at no. 4...u click alt +4..if u double click a quickqast it will still go to ur cursor
