back in HoN I had my shop and courier all set up with hotkeys and in Dota I click around like a neanderthal, sometimes I even use the search feature on the top

C, F, D, F1

I know there's a single "Courier deliver items" button but by the time that got added Select Courier / Speed Boost / Deliver / Select Self was so ingrained in my head

Is there a "just deliver items on courier, don't go back and pick up poo poo from the base" button? I always try to get cute and park my courier at secret shop to finish a big item, but half the time I also have a tp or ward sitting in the stash at base so the "deliver items" makes the courier take a huge detour when I really want to finish my mana boots or lotus or whatever for an upcoming fight

These are all default hotkeys from memory so please correct if I’m wrong:
F2 is select courier
F is deliver
R is pick up from stash and deliver. Note: if nothing is in stash, the courier will just go to fountain.
E is dump to stash
D is speed boost

I don’t remember the invulnerable hotkey. I always scramble to click it :shobon:

Thanks, I had changed a bunch of hotkeys and didn't have deliver only bound to anything. I'd typically only use "go to secret shop" and "go to fountain" (which is I think the same as dump to stash?) and click on the courier icon in the bottom to actually handle deliveries

I wouldn't really call it a hand of midas because it doesn't give you extra gold or xp but it's the best in fights. You ult, initiate, get low, kite out and full heal.

Is there actually a NS set worth that much? If you're going by a high Steam marketplace price, sometimes those are put up there as enticement to get people to trade actual high-value items for worthless items in a scam.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?



the black nihility set actually sold for 316$ back in august, and there are a bunch of "buy now" offers at 100 dollars, so it's certainly worth something, even if you can buy all of the component pieces for about 70 cents.

Ah dota...

Was on a 6 game win streak. Then got a game where a guy picks tinker offlane then goes "I dont know how to play Tinker, just didnt want the other team to have it" and we categorically lose all lanes...our carry Slark rushed shadow blade and our Zeus went 0-6 in the first 10 mins to Drow mid. Oh and our 5 Witch Doctor bought 1 ward all game.

As much as those kinds of games suck, honestly that's partly why I love DOTA. It just naturally makes you say, "Okay that's enough DOTA for today" and you go do something else.

For some reason I reinstalled loving Runescape this month and it has absolutely devoured my life because it's so easy to say, "Let me just do this real quick then I'll stop" and then it's 6 hours later.

I think Wraith Pact is a cool item so I don't want it totally removed but it's already getting old how the offlane picks are determined by how good your hero is at building and using Wraith Pact

Come play in herald, no one builds wraith pact.

I really should just put my big boy pants on and play offlane brood.

The Black Nihility set is pretty much worthless.

https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/570/Inscribed%20Black%20Nihility

This is the version 99.99% of people have.

The one at 300 bucks is the non-inscribed version, which is effectively a speculative collectors item. But that's the price that shows up ingame because :gaben:

if you were even slightly good before, you will likely be dogshit now, and it will take a while for your mmr to adjust. I can tell you though, that if you push through it and work on improving, it will not get better.
