Dota 2 looks like an easy game on the outside, but it's really complex and hard to master. Finding your way up the division is something not to be taken lightly. And if you want to move up and are having a hard time doing so, then honestly there are a lot of things that you might be doing wrong. Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002.

Is there any way saving meepo groups? I know it did work a while ago but it doesn't anymore. Is there anything you can do to save the group manually? like editing a textfile or so.

I think waga gets multiple invites per day, it's safe to assume that if he accepts or denies then he will get 100 new ones in like an hour.

question waga. do you use quickcast on every single hero ?
also pls unban me in twitch chat :(
I already answered about this friend requests issue guys, the flux of friend requests is so high it's better to just ignore it.
When I was playing an amateur brazilian tournament there were around 5 people adding me everyday, now imagine if you're a very well known personality.
8 clicks if you want to laser, eblade and dagon? wat
@wave Soul Ring, 2 clicks to laser, 2 clicks to eblade, 2 clicks to Dagon, probably I'm missing a stupid one (bottle? maybe he's considering rearm? or maybe missiles)
thats why i dont play starcraft and tinker/meepo shit.. i like to think about what i do so i cant just use shit fast without knowing for sure i rly want to do it
I hate it too but maybe I'm just not used to. But I feel it just gets a lot harder to not misclick while doing fast stuff (such as blink EB dagon with tinker)
Sano i hated quickcast too, but after getting use to it i feel like i can do the eblade dagon thing WAY faster than before.
well i like how quickcast and blink work, but i prefer to do it manually
but for me it feels bugged with blink, with quickcast a lot of times when i click my blink doesnt work, i dont know why
post ur settings boys
i dont like legacy but it reminds me of wc3 so whatever
@waga
why dont you just leave 2 keys on normal cast for both force staff and tp?
also if u are using quick cast even if you double tap the quick cast key with 'double tap ability to self cast' it wont be casted on yourself.
why didnt you mention 'auto attack after spell' isnt that quite an important option.
control group should be 1, 2 3 on alt +1 alt +2 alt +3 dont know why its empty
Flender -> blink 2x clicks , you forgot that )
8 clicks total, blink dagon eblade hex.
Just an example anyway! use whatever settings suit you
I gotta admit, I've never used quickcast, your video has inspired me to at least try it out! thanks.
just kidding i dont remember the difference give me a sec xd
i think the delay from stop was bigger than from stop.. aside from that i know there's another reason but cant remember
Dota 2 Inventory Shortcut
well, I think it massively helps for when you have a lot of items (eblade dagon etc) but for the most part it shouldn't make too much of a difference, although for big aoe ults like black hole I think normal cast is better, but I always rest a finger on ALT anyway as I've used it for other things so it shouldn't too hard to follow as is
Stop only stops you and you will still keep attacking if you have auto attack on. But hold position just makes your hero stay in place whatever happens.
yeah exatly that.. back in dota you would want to hide but just kept attacking.. here you can turn off autoattack though (i did)
i only used quickcast for meepo poof. i guess ima try on tinker items

Owell, thanks Waga for making up dead-time to fun stream donations.
meanwhile waga plays !attacker who is on lich instead of his kunkka
ot:
legacy leaves me with too little keys for other stuff
Apple time capsule windows software download. i used to go with Inventory A+ in Dota which used ALT+QWASZX, but since Dota 2's inventory is horizontal I used ALT+QWEASD instead
also i hate that dota 2 doesnt remember individual illusions
Is it actually worth because it looks harder to quickcast
why the hell is everyone posting settings ._.
also if anyone knows the answer to my problem which i wrote further top, i'd appreciate an asnwer.
Dude even I get 30 friend requests in a day. People just add you if you play on top pages.
Hmm Since I rarely play puck/meepo how is the outcome of pucks ulti and meepo-ing with quickcast?
I feel like void would get screwed over by waga's settings, usually you don't want to waste even a fraction of a second hitting another key when you chrono, so needing to hold alt will screw you, but not seeing exactaly the AOE of chrono will also mess you up even worse.
it's all about what you're used to, most people would probably find my hotkeys terrible (I use QWER and 1 2 3 4 5 space for items) but that's what I use since 2010.
I can't even IMAGINE having to press alt+V to use a skill / item.
i guess rtz watched waga's video
https://twitter.com/Arteezy/status/501048643361595392
Wow waga, I never knew such a thing like 'Quick Cast' ever existed. I have exactly the same hotkeys as you and I have to admit it's very comfortable and I dont miss a button anymore.. Like in my meepo, when I poof blink I used to only teleport 2 meepos to my main but now I do all of them in a quick time. This is amazing stuff dude.
Thank you very much!
After around 2k hours in this game, finally figured out why shop hotkeys refused to work for me.. I feel retarded now. Thanks a lot Waga. :D
Glad you guys liked the video! I know it's pretty trivial but I put some thoughts into it and I think this is pretty optimized (atleast to my taste, lol)
Waga i would like to see how well you'd perform both you and Dragonfist after stopping playing Lanaya for a while. I bet your mmr would drop.. BY A LOT!

Camera[edit]
Best Dota 2 Hotkey Settings
Similar to a pure RTS game, players can move their camera around the entire map and see what is happening in different locations of the map. However, the Fog of War will prevent the player from seeing most areas of the map, and will only be revealed when allied units are nearby, or with abilities that provide vision.
The camera can be controlled in 4 different ways:
- Moving the mouse to the edges or corners of the screen causes the camera to move in the direction of the edge or corner. This way, the camera can be moved into the 8 cardinal directions.
- Holding the middle mouse key and dragging the mouse grips and moves the game camera. The camera moves into the opposite direction in which the mouse moving. This way, the camera can be moved freely into any direction.
- Holding the assigned Camera Grip Hotkey + left mouse key and dragging the mouse. Functions the same way as dragging the camera with the middle mouse key, as an alternative (hotkey not assigned by default).
- Using the assigned hotkeys which are commonly assigned to the arrow keys or W,A,S,D. This way, the camera can be moved into the 8 cardinal directions.
Besides moving the camera, it is also possible to zoom in and out. However, this has no great use in matches, since the camera is by default at maximum distance and can only be zoomed in a bit. In spectatore mode, the camera is by default at the same distance as the camera is when playing. However, this distance is the minimum distance for spectators. As a spectator, the camera can be zoomed out by a lot, granting a better view of the map.
- Scrolling mousewheel causes the camera to zoom in when scrolling up, and zooming out when scrolling down.
Dota 2 Hotkeys Guide
Patch history[edit]
- Ctrl-alt clicking HP bars now correctly messages raw HP/Mana values of the target to the rest of your team.
- Fixed a variety of consistency issues with alt-click modifier messages not being worded from the point of view of the person sending them.
- Using Control + Alt in Quick Buy area now tells you how much gold you need for both the item and buyback
