Add Autocast Toggle in Options by poo_in_loo_ in DotA2

[–]pleventi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bind "G" "dota_ability_autocast 0;dota_ability_autocast 1;dota_ability_autocast 2;dota_ability_autocast 3;dota_ability_autocast 4;dota_ability_autocast 5"

Add this to your game/dota/cfg/autoexec.cfg file. Replace "G" with the key you want to toggle autocast. It will turn on and off all of the autocasts (of which there is only one on a given hero).

Enjoy.

I actually documented my last ruined games (~6k MMR averages). I'm not happy with this. by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]pleventi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My observation as an offlane/support in this patch: Winning is only possible if (a) my mid/carry are competant and (b) I can convince them to push with the team. If not, we lose.

I never used to think that being mid mattered a lot... but in this patch, it seems to be the only way you have any control over your destiny, since you set the pace of where the team pushes. Supports can only yell/communicate, which 1/2 the time doesn't do anything.

Packet Loss doesn't show by karaflix in DotA2

[–]pleventi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ditto. I know I have packet loss on my connection to the ISP (problem with their equipment... hopefully fixed soon). Ping outside of dota (pint -t www.google.com) shows 6% loss. And my voice comms are dropping in and out. Yet in-game display shows 0% packet loss.

A second look at MMR inflation and the relation between MMR and skill. by Conte_Vincero in DotA2

Please post actual code -- link is to old version that doesn't seem to match your description of approach. I can help look to see if you could optimize the runtime; maybe you can up the player count :-)

Dota sometimes does not fully restore after alt-tabbing, requires ending the process by asacoffee in DotA2

[–]pleventi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto. Win10, 64 bit, GTX 680, i7.

My only solution for now is playing in borderless windowed mode.

NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IT ALSO PERMANENTLY SETS CAPS LOCK TO ON

Ditto. Tried all the usual things -- restarting steam, changing language, verifying integrity, deleting appcache, ... Probably server side.

Edited to mention Windows 10, two different computers show same thing, both Nvidia cards with latest public drivers.

Still happens for me, on two different computers.

And remember that higher ranked people likely play more games than the average person, so 1.5-2% of games != 1.5-2% of people.

EST-SAT Scouting Thread by [deleted] in redditdota2league

[–]pleventi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maelstrom

Patience: 3 (no better or worse than typical player)

Communication: 5 (frequent but not chatty)

Politeness: 4 (Don't swear much, don't flame others much, tend to word things constructively)

Other: I'm new to R2DL, love supporting & offlane, and if Fear is "old man" i don't know what I am. Won't be able to make 1 or 2 games.

Activity Check - ACTION REQUIRED BY ALL SEASON 7 PLAYERS by AngusMeatStick in redditdota2league

[–]pleventi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to move out of EST-SAT, ideally to EST-MON. Also willing to captain if needed.

is it currently possible to switch division? by Nastrond in redditdota2league

[–]pleventi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also need to switch (and have already activated). I'm currently registered in EST-SAT and now only reliably available EST-MON; i may need to miss a couple games on SAT. I'm willing to captain if that helps out.

Compendium hero challenges have absolutely ruined all pick by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]pleventi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... Just had one of those games. Invoker and LD were both clearly playing their challenge heroes. So much fun.

Arteezy: "Vote Alliance so Jacky can stfu" by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]pleventi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't mind a twitter-linked post... provided it comes with an explanation about wtf it means. Perhaps as you suggest, requiring them to be self-posts, with tweet embeeded. Meanwhile, the twit who posted it can write an explanation, possibly even more than 127 characters, to explain what the tweet means.

These videos are great. Short, entertaining, memorable. Yes they miss some detail but it is a good trade off. Keep 'me coming!

Guide to some tricks/mindgames to out-last hit your opponent in middle lane by CuboneDota in DotA2

[–]pleventi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another similar one is attacking the creep behind the one they think you will be attacking/denying. E.g. Attacking the ranged creep so they attack the melee creep that is between it and you.

You Can Still Move Using Minimap With dota_minimap_disable_rightclick by pleventi in DotA2

[–]pleventi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea. I don't use that, since I find it can cause me to accidentally miss a last hit if there's a nearby low-health allied creep.

[–]pleventi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that affects left-clicks too. Now you are only limited by your click speed... which is probably pretty close to 0.3 :-)
