Advantages with Direct Pathing?

[[qft]ScoutkniveZ]

Hey,
I'd like to start off by saying that I have never used direct pathing myself because I've never felt the need to. But nowadays when I'm trying to improve my gaming in every way possible I started thinking...
What does Direct Pathing give for an advantage over using the regular move command?
I heard that it improves your juking ability and your "skillshot abilities" but I have not confirmed this nor do I fully understand why. If I could get some help with understanding direct pathing, how it works, and what you can do with it I would be grateful.
May I even think about to replace my regular right click move command with right click direct pathing command and use a hotkey for attacking units?

Thanks!

Direct pathing means the hero will keep walking that way untill it hits a wall, making it easier to get right up on the edge of a clift, or get into some jungle area's.

I've never really found much use for it as the normal click works well enough for me.

QFT. I couldn't have written it better myself.

Hmm what about the advantages? Are they only for people that makes mistakes, often put valk in wrong direction before doing leap etc? :>

Could be used for that, it makes casting AoE moves over clifts a bit easier as the hero doesn't try to walk around it when it doesn't have to.

Hugging cliffs.

It would be useful if you wanna hug a tree BUT OH WAIT DIRECT PATHING DOESN'T WORK ON TREES

Shawn work on pathing and stop trolling the forums - it's really irritating if you click a few pixels too far towards a tree and your hero ends up running straight into 3 enemies from a juke.
