Legacy keys limited inventory keys? in General Discussion
Dunning-Kruger Effect™

    im currently using these keybindings for my inventory,

    Q W G
    Space 4 5

    but the problem is whenever i play some heroes that use the ability G or W like Ancients Apperition for example i cant use my keybinding G because chilling touch is G.. same with other heroes who use W.. i find these settings for my inventory very comfartable but sadly this occurs with most heroes and i dont seem to like changing my inventory slots to 1 2 3 4 or alt q w e,
    im using 1 for hero 2 for select other units and 3 for all units,

    i feell like its limiting your inventory slots by long shot, and i have to change my keys to speciific heroes...

    what do you guys use as inventory keys @ legacy users?

    nami

      They either use numbers or alt+hotkey.

      Nonetheless I really do suggest learning the QWER setup. Nothing wrong with legacy but having keys 5 spaces apart instead of right beside each other will slow you down no matter how you argue about it. Though it might feel uncomfortable at first.

        well tread switching on Q feels very good. dagger on space rest is very comfartable too nontheless.
        it just bothers me changing hotkeys for specific heroes,
        i can use numbers though, just not 1 2 3, since these are already in use for hero and controll groups.
        might change to alt q w e i guess then,, though the pinging on the map pisses me off too,

          Legacy just takes too much hotkeys away from your keyboard. You simply have to change your hotkeys for every hero you play.

            thats no problem for me though.
            just annoying about q w z switching when i play other heroes.
            is there a way to bind keys for specifi heroes? might be fixed by this,

                dont need inventory with mouse buttons though. feels weird as hell 2 side buttins is more then enough

                  slows you down unnecessarily

                  most players at higher levels have specific binds, for example normal cast + quick cast for a particular item slot (e.g. blink), rune camera binds, control group, scoreboard etc - legacy just doesnt cut it because it limits the free keys you have by too much

                    I use z x space. Not many spells using those.
                    And when i play sf (rarely), i change them to e and f.

                    Been using legacy ever since i went from d1 to d2. Works just fine and doesnt slow me what so ever.

                    jo~

                      legacy doesnt work for quickcast which is rly useful unless they fixed it recently

                        i don't have any problems with legacy really. I guess the reason for this is because my inventory hotkeys are like dota 1's warkeys (alt + q, w, etc.) Didn't bother switching to qwer cause i already got used to it thx to dota 1. I thin it just depends on what a person prefers?
