This is a suggestion which I thought would enhance Rally, I'm probably echoing what a lot more people want to see in Rally's Compel.
Make it so that when you press Q twice, Compel activate on Rally and push him towards the direction he is facing.
Rally's Compel is a reminiscent of the Tablet of Command, a lot of people are acquainted with double tap activation for the purpose of activating the effect on self.
@People who gonna vote: Please, do post in this thread to keep it bump. Post your thought so that S2 can take this suggestion in consideration.
Thank you!

Did you base this of my previous posts by any chance?
Do like it and love to see it.
But it's basically a general thing that is going to be added sooner or later (or not at all to keep the difficulty rate high).

Its funny, during my first game as Rally, I was in the middle of a gank and I tried to double tap Q and since it didn't work I ended up dying since I wasn't fast enough to find my hero click and drag...
Anyways, I want to see this implemented

This is logical seeing as there are many entities with double activation function and I do not see why not to implement it unless like broodje stated to keep him hard as ****.

That's where the this suggestion came from:

From my own experience. Basically I've also had blond moment where I would double tap Q and thinking it would work on myself (Table of command logic..). I did see people asking about it in Rally's thread and I thought since a lot of people want it, it would not hurt to suggest it.

Why don't they give Rally 2 spells since he has a passive and make the first skill just for him and the second skill to use on someone else? Like pharoah's ult with sotm.

I like the idea of double tap, but I don't like the idea of pushing forward, why not double tap to just select yourself and then select direction? it would me more useful

I also thought of something like this, then it would work just like Magmus stun. I guess that since you can also apply your Q on your Ally, it *might* be confusing to have Double Tap for point and click while a single tap for click and drag.
I think that possibly another way to implement this would be to break the skill in 2 just like Nomad's W and E which are 1 skill but you get to choose which one you activate. In the case of Rally, one would be Q then click direction while the other would be exactly the Q it is right now.

I've checked mechanics, it's intended (thread here) (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?440818-Double-click-on-Rally-s-compel)
So, this might take a while to get implemented I guess, but worth it.

What if we add an additional function after we double click Q the computer will automatically select the nearest allied hero in range from the mouse cursor then we only need to click once to confirm the push.
TL;DR.
1. Hover the mouse over the intended target allied hero in range.
2. Double click Q.
3. Point the arrow onto the destination.
4. Click the mouse to confirm push.
PS: If there is no allied hero in range then the computer will automatically select Rally for the target to push.

As someone staded before, I think its best to add just a self activation with E->click direction.
It is still removing vector entity and makes it into target direction.

agree the skill needs to be easier to activate for self
you can double-activate tablet so why not Rally's first skill?
You gain: easier to activate in the middle of HoN's fast paced gameplay
You lose: the ability to "fine target" and get the direction perfect

Please add the ability to double-tap for self activation when you set your hero facing the direction you desire. The problem with it now is that when you try to Compel yourself, the vector arrows automatically are positioned behind your hero so you have to stop and swivel it to the position that you want... This is too much time wasted in the heat of battle and in general just plain annoying.

Voted No.
Reason: it won't be Vector Entity anymore.

It would, but only if used on allies. What you think?

Rally's biggest flaw is he is so freaking awkward. This would alleviate some of that.

Voted no, that skill is already incredibly overpowered, arguably the BEST non-ulti skill in the game, so why give it such a huge buff, removing its new mechanic.

Bumping this thread for great justice. Right now Rally is sitting in what most would call the "thrash tier" and something like the suggestion above will definitely give him a little boost.
