To shortcut a skill in Dota 2, click on “Personnalised” at the bottom right corner of your skills, open your skills window, and drag the desired skill into the Personnalised Bar. Press your keyboard shortcut to activate the skill or spell. Rebind the neutral item key is not possible after the patch that allowed it to be rebinded. I use quick cast for all my spells and items, along with alt for double tap/self-target. For items, I use Alt + hotkey for items, but it’s bad for alt double tapping but hotkeys are all close.
For spells, you can bind a macro to a key without an addon using SetBindingMacro followed by SaveBindings. Traps and other summons use the hotkeys set for neutral creeps if you have per hero hotkeys on. You can also bind different hotkeys to heroes, couriers, and other units by turning ▣ Unit Specific Hotkeys on. It’s possible to bind unique hotkeys to hotkeys 1,2,3,4 for various abilities like earth, storm, etc.
To assign hotkeys to specific abilities, click on “Personnalised” at the bottom right corner of your skils, open your skills window, and drag the skill you want to shortcut into the Personnalised Bar. If you assign one spell to a hotkey, clicking on it toggles between normal and auto-cast mode. In auto-cast mode, the spell is cast without being selected when clicked.
It would be nice to have spell-specific quickcast settings, specifically for Invoker/Rubble whose abilities depend on the situation. In this section, you can bind your hotkeys, click on the corresponding square to set the desired hotkey.

📹 25 SETTINGS and HOTKEYS you NEED for SEASON 14 – League of Legends
What is Skill Capped? Skill Capped has one goal in mind: help YOU become a BETTER player FAST! We create guides that …
IMO the best cancel hotkey is spacebar. You always have your thumb ready to cancel something. Also : I never got used to using the same hotkey for different things by using the Alt Modifier thing. I think if you don’t get use to it from the start, it’s very hard to get used to it after. Additionnally, I prefer using Alt for casting stuff on myself or to switch wards (Smart Double Tap).
Hey BSJ, i got a question and a problem with the alt modifier. I put it on “G” now, but i cant ping in the “game screen” anymore, i can still ping on the minimap pushing my alt modifier, but not in the game itself, for example if i want to ping a neutral camp or a tower, or hold and use the ping wheel. Do you have a solution for that? Great job on this article btw! It helped a lot
man, fuck everything about the article. this intro is awesome. The melody in question is from “Romance” by Hiroshi Suzukii and it was sampled over and over into even more godly tracks, i.e. $uicideboy$’s “All That Glitters Is Not Gold, but It’s Still Damn Beautiful”. I think DJ YUNG VAMP sampled this as well, its a classic one.
just started 2 days ago and found ur website and i have been craving a warcraft 3 game for a long time and ive bounced around Dota 2 an played every type like league of legends but i have fallen in love with this game and my mains r of course the Lich an Lifestealer – please of anyone has any other people if the community of Dota let me know
My keys (want opinions) A: Attack, Q: Stop SDF: abilities 1, 2, and 3 GH: abilities 4 and 5. Space: Ultimate WER: items 234: items I believe it is a very fast and compact set up if you are used to use your piky (which I have donde since I played SC and WC3). i got reported for scripting all the time, but I have never in my life been into low priority.
Here is an idea for Riot: CHANGING OPTIONS ONLY INGAME IS IDIOTIC! I want to be able to change options prior to games, so I am not pressured by losing play time and “inting” while reading all the options. Honestly – this is such a basic thing, it makes me question their thought process about everything.
great article, but when it comes to visual clarity, having a blurry ground actually is beneficial because if causes an extra contrast to the sharp champions. When it comes to sound I recommend to also disable the announcer volume. minimap on 100% is fine, more than enough vision still there, also thanks to minimap you will predict where everyone is anyway apart from these 3 things I approve this article as I use the same settings for over 10 years also: hide eye candy and using colorblind can help you as well
I really like the setting to bind attack move to left click so I dont need to fiddle with another button to just do an attack. I also realize that I’m clicking all the time when attacking anyway so I just turned off auto attack so I don’t need to use the stop command either. Maybe there are some downsides to this, but works for me
I’d be very careful with the first tip. The majority of old players have built muscle memory, and it’s a known benefit to have that setting turned off. For example, if you buffer Annie’s R out of range and then flash, it activates instantly, leaving no time to react. However, with this setting turned on, it forces you to flash first and then ult. This removes the element of surprise.
Important to note about the champ casting 1:16 theres a bug in zac where if this setting is enabled it’ll Force you to turn around the opposite Way youre trying to use your E ability as the range starts so small the game registers the maxrange behind the champion at times so if playing zac for the time being this setting NEEDS to be disabled to be at all playable with his E
10:30 if you put fps cap at 240 and still have problems try disabling movement prediction, and it will all work fine after. If you really really really wanna use movement prediction on, cap fps to 144 and it won’t make problems. Also really importat to know, it’s still better to have more fps than your monitor’s refresh rate.
Dont touch your refresh rate. I changed mine to 144hz as my monitor is 144hz but it caused black screen in loading screen and in-game and only had intermittent screen time and took me ages to figure out what the issue was and eventually couldnt change the setting back in game and had to delete some files in LOL installation folder.
target champions only, why dont you use space? the thumb already is sleeping on it the entiregame so your cast wont get interrupted at all ah i see 7:30 but im not sold on it, i like to utilize the “toggle camera lock” instead of self select double clicking it does the same thing, without taking away an input option for me that kayn aimbot is realy something though, ill give it a try ähm… have they removed the treat target only as a toggle option from the game? i struggle finding it, its not at the game options location anyways
the vsync tip is very sus. vsync is designed with the sole purpose to ensure you dont have tearing or stuttering. Lowering your FPS to what your screen can handle isn’t a bad thing, nor its actually lowering the FPS you actually have on your monitor. The next tip of locking them, essentially does the same, but more scuffed job anyways, so there isn’t any benefit from not having it. Input lag maybe a thing for nvidia devices especially if you don’t have gsync, but for AMD GPUs, its a blessing, and if you use freesync its most likely forced turned on anyways.
A little question, im a jungle gamer who recently got back in season 14 and even more recently got into more Ranked Flex with two of my friends but they are like silver / gold. When we play i dont feel like i perform badly atleast in most cases but we still lose sometimes, luckily we also win quite a good amount and not just because of them 😀 . Even though i win a few but lose a lot when i get close to finally reaching silver i lose more, my question is it smart to like keep doing flexes with my friends knowing that i most likely wont be against my ranks (increasing the chance of me losing) if i want to try and reach silver ? P.S Other things i am currently trying to improve on is like unlocked camera games or focusing on improving my macro in some cases so i know i lack some skills but im slowly improving and starting to love and get actually quite decent at Rek”Sai jgl.
You can also lower your resolution in result to have a bigger healthbar/loss of control UI. I was struggling to see the thin duration bar of loss of control UI until i found out it. For people with big screen maybe not an issue but I play on a 15inch laptop screen so it was so game changing setting for me!
Yeah the quick level up has saved me more than once haha, most recently i was playing Hwei and got dived half dived by a level 3 sylas (i was level 2) when i was in the 1% hp range i levelled up which gave me hp to survive his next AA then also quickly hit control+w to level w then got my shield off… he died to tower then just said ‘open mid’ in all chat x’D (we then lost that game :^))
I love perusal your articles. The editing style, the usefulness, the quality of information… You guys are absolute fuckin legends! If I weren’t such a cheapshot, I’d invest in your courses/membership. I was so close to doing it many times, but I’m poor. 😛 Thanks for all the hard work though, hope you all make a living off this! LEGENDS!
Wouldn’t it be easier to to set “A” for “Player Attack Move Click”, enable “”Auto attack”, “Attack move on cursor” and finally bind “V” to “Show Advanced Player Stats”, that way you can hold down V to see your range and still orbit walk (strobe walk whatever you want to call it) – does this mess up other actions? the toggle for hit champ only is nice but make sure its on a hotkey that you don’t fat finger with another important key
Color blind, disabling the champion voice and musik I noticed late S6 even any mobile mobas the same settings . No matter how many game and setting tutorials are uploaded many people will never even research to improve on they gameplays no matter if it’s normal or rank . Now that there was other settings setup, thanks for this tutorial I can now improve from being passive to passively aggressive.
You promote everytime for Skill capped Lol courses and I’m really willing to be apart of but I weren’t able to subscribe with credit card so crypto is more profitable than your services and finally I will search another one until you change your habit. Skill capped is a scam waist of time. I’m really upset.
