View Full Version : Auto-attacking: just don't do it.

Please stop auto-attacking during the laning phase. It pushes the lane towards their tower, and makes it harder for you and your teammates to last-hit and easier for the enemy to deny.

Good guide, 9/10
If you can somehow incorporate some fancy pictures or a video it would be a definite 10/10

If you're good enough to be an effective rune-whore then you probably know when you should auto-attack and should not. My advice is directed at people who are too lazy to use the S or H keys.

whats the reasoning behind why it's not disabled by default?

I've rebound hold position to D.
Is basically my most used key.. Very useful! Better than spamming stop(S) imo

Switch the binding for "Hold" from "H" to "Spacebar" and that way you can tap it very easily. With your pinky on "Control" and your fingers on "Q/W/E/R" you should be good to go.

Yeah I need pictures of this...
I'm a visual learner.
Perhaps take a picture of your hand pressing your hold key while you're laning for further reference.

Binding Hold to a mouse thumb button has proven invaluable.

If you wanna take it further, don't use hold, move around, people who stand right next to a creep in hold are more predictable and vulnerable to aimed skills, not to mention it's much easier to deny their creep.

Moving around is superior to hold position. (And APM increases too)

Bind every key on the right hand side of your keyboard to hold, that way if you need to stop attacking you just mash your palm on that side of the keyboard.

Ha, ha, ha! ;-)
Anyways - I have hold bound to space and tap it with the thumb. I don't have a finger on "R" most of the time since it's the Ultimate and on most heroes should be used wisely. ^^

i found out a new excellent method than hold attack/not auto-attacking.
bound "R" to reload. your heroes will just reload their attack delay and will soon attack immediately. this is by far the best attack visual in game. btw dont forget to buy ammos at outpost. arachna's is 50mm
no wonder why CoD 4 is losing to HoN.
