yeah you have to set your keys to quick cast globally in settings, you can't do it per hero skill unless maybe there's a way to do it with legacy keys

and then you're using legacy keys

I'm watching these pro dota guys, why does it take them so long to choose their characters? Also, does anyone want to start up a DDRD fantasy league using the item?

because some heroes are better than other heroes and other heroes are better than those heroes and other heroes are better than those heroes so hero comp. can literally win games on its own and they want to have the best teams.

Because strategy. The draft phase has the teams picking and banning from the pool of heroes, and there's a lot to it that flies over the head of pretty much anyone but the biggest dota nerds.

Partly, and also how different heroes work together or against each other at high levels of play along with draft strategy like trying to figure out what your opponent is aiming for while not giving away what you're going for. If it's boring to you just skip it and make some food or something, I do.

If you really want to meta, figure out how to disconnect their internet connection without it being traced back to you. They can't win the game if they can't play.

If you can farm AM is the chillest hero. Splitpush everywhere, fly around the map getting as much gold as humanly possible, ignore everything. Blame your team for anything that goes wrong and say "I farmed I did my job." even if it's totally your fault.
