    Auto cast hotkey PLEASE

    On heroes like archnia can you please make hitting the hotkey 2x "Q" (or something like that) put her web shot on auto cast. hate having to right click down in the spells to set autocast on. lost kills from miss clicking it and not slowing them to many times.

    Let me know what ya think and post cos its something that has always annoyed me about dota and hopefully we can have it changed.

    It should be ALT QQ for nostalgic reasons.

    I agree right clicking is tedious, there should be some kind of hotkey.

    Doubletapping seems an obvious hotkey fix to this. T-Up

    Heroes like Obsidian and Silencer would be massively weakened by this, due to spamming their auto casts. And don't say that there's no need to manually spam it instead of auto attacking.

    Shift+hotkey (or similar) or even ALT+QQ would be much better.

    it should work like capslock... press it once and it's on... press it again and it's off... simple... no need for right clicks.

    But then it will never be able to work as a spell, and the creeps will start attacking you for autoattacking a hero.

    A double-click or something like it would be awesome. I´ve also missed this kind of action.

    Thats fine but its turning auto casting on thats annoying. you can press "q" to fire it once or right click the spell and set it to auto cast. Some times there is a wicked opportunity to attack a hero and you hokkey attack then you have to set it to auto cast and some times the time it took to turn auto cast on and not fire your slow shot is all there need to get away

    it's not really a spell... it's an augment to his attack that slows enemies. Turn it on and off depending on whether you're attacking creeps or heroes.

    if you're not repeatedly q-clicking, you're doing it wrong.

    ... not sure if you're serious...
    why should I? Why not let me auto attack someone with it and then disable when they're dead?


    It makes much much much much more sense that way.

    So what you´re saying is that if I turn it on, and start attack their heros, the creeps wont attack me?

    That´s what I mean, it needs to be able to be used as a spell so this won´t happen.

    ... shouldn't they? What's the problem with that? If you can't deal with enemy creeps then you've got bigger problems.

    Orb Walking Guide

    ...especially the last part:
    "NOTE* if you cast your orbs manually enemy creeps will NOT attack you, just as enemy towers, because it's considered as spell. If you attack the enemy hero normally or with orb on autocast, creeps/towers will attack you."

    This makes a HUGE difference earlygame. You can harass the crap out of enemies without getting hit by creeps once. If you try that with autocast + rightclicking, prepare to eat a bunch of consumables.
