this format is perfect. not to long and not to short. I wish i had this when i started. I'll make sure to show this to everyone starting dota. Valve should make this the official Tutorials. Music is fine too, not to loud and not disturbing.
Good hotkeys after 5 years of playing and adjusting -- this works great for all heroes, including micro heroes such as meepo and druid, as well as for invoker. The idea is efficient usage of the keyboard region, and easy to reach keys for time sensitive options (learning a spell mid fight, and buying out before dying). QWERDF for spells (use F for ult) 1-6 for items Space = hero, Z = all units, X = all other units Tab = next unit, A = attack move, S = stop (default settings) ` = courier, t = courier deliver items G = learn spell V = Voice chat B = open shop, N = sticky buy (TP), J = quickbuy, K = grab all items
Thank you for doing this. I have been meaning to watch your old/original tutorials forever. The attack command while enemy is going in and out of vision is such an amazing thing that i wish i had known earlier. Also will be taking my items off of my 1-4 keys. Great video.
I have been playing for 1000+ hours, but never really took the time to properly go through all advanced control settings and set them up. So many useful little options that shall save me countless annoyances in the future. It's really fun to watch this series even for very experienced players
i used to shift all my abilities few keys to the right, that way i was further away from the useless windows key and i also had more space for keybinds on the left, but it requires to change what's gonna be your ctrl key.
another useful thing when tp requires stop command to cancel is that you can tp and use a spell/item while tping. it goes into the queue and is cast when you arrive. like cast blink. you can shift queue it of course, but still..
I think I've forgotten about that control group thing and only remember it when I use meepo... good to know that there were these things from the WC3 engine that carried over.
Attack move is very important. This allows you to better chase an enemy in trees, as well as when you are chasing uphill. Basically whenever you lose vision, your hero will keep moving forward instead of stopping and standing still.
You can also play dirty with this command, like Juggernaut Clockwork Gyrocoptor Pudge then issue follow so they can’t juke you... first blood every game
Very useful when playing naga (or other illusion-based farm heroes), this way to send the illusions to farm you just A-click on a jungle camp and they'll move there and start farming by themselves (instead of having to command a movement and when they get there reselect them to tell them to attack the camp).
This is why DOTA is superior to league. There are way more options and key bindings you can set, which allows for fluid and intuitive gameplay, which results in a better gaming experience.
The fuck, how to you micro then 0,0, it's not that important on micro but damn, don't you use it to attack something while checking other shit on the map? Or buy? I can't explain it but wow.... you must be *fast*
GaussNine how do you set it up? Mine has changed over the years and i hardly see others with wasd Skills- 123qe4 Control groups - f keys Next unit- mouse 5 Items- zxcrt (mouse 4) Stop- f Quick attack move- ( ' )
I'm basically default. Hero: 1 Skills: QERF/TG Items: zxc top row, alt-zxc bottom (or vbn, which I think may be a bug) Attack: space Stop: mouse4 Next unit: Tab Voice PTT: mouse5
I do too, it doesn't really matter who uses what. What works for someone, works for them. May not for you, but there is no right answer to it. As long as you set controls for whatever's required.
Just started trying Enigma. Video was helpful, but what also might be helpful is the "Select All Controlled Units" and "Select All Other Units" as button options, especially for certain heroes like enigma who 9/10 times want to concentrate all illusions or such on one enemy to get that focused dps. It's MUCH faster than setting them to a hot key with Shift drag. OR you could explain your method a bit more, because I honestly couldn't figure it out, but that might be because I have my items set to 1-6. Meh.
Hey Purge, I know the video is quite old. Yet I want to ask the question below this video: I know you did at least one more video about hero controls and also in your in-game-videos (love the replay commentaries btw) you gave some more info about hot keys a.s.o. Still... It was quite fast I watched it 3 times now stopped and tried it... I still don't get all of it. Could you do one more video (slower and more detail) about hero controls. Which unit you can use, how to switch a.s.o. ? And maybe also show some examples in game (positive and negative ones) and give hints or state your opinion. Thank you in any case for your videos in general they are very helpful! Greetings
About clicking on another hero to see its items why didn't you mention the possibility of having its hud not on your hero hud but on the right? I find it extremely useful. And I guess you'll mention the quickcast in another video?
You can only control your character and things that you make like illusions, creeps and clones. You cannot control your allies and enemies. Have you played games similar to dota before?
Might be a stupid question but I have been wondering how some players move their camera so smothly. I use edge pan but would like to get into drag. What hotkey are you guys using for that?
i just use the razor hotkey on my wrist, make sure its vertical though as I keep forgetting and doing it horizontal. Damn thing keeps screwing me up. Lmk if it helps man
so Ancient 3 player here and I am to dumb to use control groups, I feel like I am pushing the buttons as purge tells me but somehow it only works 20% of the time...
I have a hotkey set up that selects all units that I control that aren't my hero. That might help you set up your control groups or you could just use that hotkey
It does. I'm not sure are you talking about canceling abilities in general or just in case 'only stops cancel tp/channeling' but it does either way. Hold Position is better since you won't be moving after clicking it - so you don't have to spam it when you're ruptured or something
Valve should just add these videos to the game's learn tab so new players won't be so clueless.
I have played HotS for almost 4 years and all these buttons makes me confused.
this format is perfect. not to long and not to short. I wish i had this when i started. I'll make sure to show this to everyone starting dota.
Valve should make this the official Tutorials.
Music is fine too, not to loud and not disturbing.
Me: Okay shouldn´t be to hard.
Me five seconds after the video: Ok I need Watch that again.
Literally me learning dota right now. I’m happy my friends didn’t scold me
Purge is the only person who can make "in depth" sound like a threat.

QWERDF for spells (use F for ult)
1-6 for items
Space = hero, Z = all units, X = all other units
Tab = next unit, A = attack move, S = stop (default settings)
` = courier, t = courier deliver items
G = learn spell
V = Voice chat
B = open shop, N = sticky buy (TP), J = quickbuy, K = grab all items
Great content for new players
I see you have left a reply to comment
thats now a keen eye
Watching these while i'm installing the game

yo bro, how do I deny a friendly creep by simply click on him, i have to press A + click onh him.
Leo Harker there is a setting that you'll have to enable, i think it's even shown in the video
4500 hours playing dota and i learn something new! keep up the good work!
This goes into a lot of good stuff. Thanks Purge.
i used to shift all my abilities few keys to the right, that way i was further away from the useless windows key and i also had more space for keybinds on the left, but it requires to change what's gonna be your ctrl key.
Fyi, my last game was a year a go. I have to watch all of your tutorials for a refresher haha. Thanks mate.

Hey, Purge is actually using my gameplay for the demonstration!
nice one xD

Defenately going to buy some red bull after this
Why is there retro-porn music in the background? lol
Matt Bowes Because Dota fucks your life that's why.
It´s more like the dearleships at gran turismo
is that even a question?...
Purge with mustache rings doorbell: Hi I'm here to fix your Red Bull fridge.
Why did the thumbnail look like a nazi from ww2 lol
So smooth. Such informative.
How to jump?
What about Mirrana
space bar duh
By using legs obviously
Space bar is always the jump button but i dont think you can jump in this game.. is this a troll..?
@@apdroidgeek1737 use alt+ f4 to jump bro,it only works with few heroes.
I think I've forgotten about that control group thing and only remember it when I use meepo... good to know that there were these things from the WC3 engine that carried over.
This is the smoothest jazz of all time.
play the video at 0.75 speed in order to write down all, commands so that you'd have an easier way of keeping up with the momentum of the narrator. :)
Huge respect for you and the amazing work you do for the dota community. Cheers!!
I was considering going from league of legends to dota but man... My brain is already full with the last episode lmao
Ernestas sameee
Wow I never knew that action move command and I have over 2000 hours.
Attack move is very important. This allows you to better chase an enemy in trees, as well as when you are chasing uphill. Basically whenever you lose vision, your hero will keep moving forward instead of stopping and standing still.
You can also play dirty with this command, like Juggernaut Clockwork Gyrocoptor Pudge then issue follow so they can’t juke you... first blood every game

Zeneki i guess you never played Warcraft 3 then, noob
Very useful when playing naga (or other illusion-based farm heroes), this way to send the illusions to farm you just A-click on a jungle camp and they'll move there and start farming by themselves (instead of having to command a movement and when they get there reselect them to tell them to attack the camp).
Wow I've played for over 1000 hours and I didn't know you could disable centering the camera on your hero when you respawn.
You can never go back. The number of times I've cancelled TPs after playing on a new installation is embarassing.
lol noob
This is why DOTA is superior to league. There are way more options and key bindings you can set, which allows for fluid and intuitive gameplay, which results in a better gaming experience.

I still dont attackmove after 4,5 years of dota FeelsBadMan

@@user-ue6ur5nt5z no, slow.
I use WASD controls, fight me
GaussNine lul same, friends says my control is weird
victor teh hahaha i know how u feel...mine is the same
GaussNine how do you set it up?
Mine has changed over the years and i hardly see others with wasd
Skills- 123qe4
Control groups - f keys
Next unit- mouse 5
Items- zxcrt (mouse 4)
Stop- f
Quick attack move- ( ' )
I'm basically default.
Hero: 1
Skills: QERF/TG
Items: zxc top row, alt-zxc bottom (or vbn, which I think may be a bug)
Attack: space
Stop: mouse4
Next unit: Tab
Voice PTT: mouse5

Very perfesheneler content by PurgeGaming.
So goddamn hard to remember all these man. Just started dota and im super overwhelmed😂
Same here 😢
Btw Purge, you can separately hotkey the tanky illusion on Phantom Lancer for easy jukes.
Good shit Purge, keep this going!
I need help
What i want is that how do you toggle on off skills like leshrac's ss
Od's first
Doom's first
Without manually right clicking them.
???
Keep pressing Alt and tap Q once, say, for Drow to enable Frost Arrows until you press Q again while pressing Alt to disable it
I kept wondering why my group keys weren't working. I didn't realize you had to set them up 😅
2000 fucking hours on this game and i still learn something new everyday! Didnt knew about the a click while chasing trough the fog
4:27 how do you get the green line to show when targeting abilities?
Super important, thank you purge
How the heck do you move around and the camera?

how to remove some illusions or heros from group
About clicking on another hero to see its items why didn't you mention the possibility of having its hud not on your hero hud but on the right? I find it extremely useful.
And I guess you'll mention the quickcast in another video?
Great video but no mention of shift queueing?
Thank you for your guidance. But could you please tell me how to control Allies and Enemies units in your video?
Thank you in advance
You can only control your character and things that you make like illusions, creeps and clones. You cannot control your allies and enemies. Have you played games similar to dota before?
I wanted to get some sleep. Thats why i watched some Dota tutorials. Goodnight.
i dont get it how to attck while move to destination or chasing?
what if i want to move my hero with my keyboard
Very professional, maybe lower the music just a tad.
Where is the next video in the series?
i literally just changed alot of the hotkeys like almost all of it because it really wasn’t comfortable because i got so used to league
Purge, please do a video on Directional Move / Pathfinding
I used number key for spells and q w e r for group control instead. Idk why
my mom wants to learn dota, ty for these videos
Might be a stupid question but I have been wondering how some players move their camera so smothly. I use edge pan but would like to get into drag. What hotkey are you guys using for that?
i just use the razor hotkey on my wrist, make sure its vertical though as I keep forgetting and doing it horizontal. Damn thing keeps screwing me up. Lmk if it helps man
so much good information, thank you!
This is harder than I thought.
Thanks Purge!
Anyone know how to forcely control ur teammates hero having troll teammates sometimes try to ruins the game
Where's the famous yyyyyyyelloweverybody this is Purge intro? 😄 Nice video btw, keep it up
Thanks Purge SeemsGood
I've been playing dota2 for over one year and i dont know why im watching this
Maybe Quickcast and Unit/Hero specific hotkeys should be it's own Episode.
..how do I horn?
This is so helpful!
Thanks a lot ❤
Came for Purge, stayed for sexy music.
Difficult.. i dont wanna play.. 😭
How can I show my attack range please help im a noob
I think you can do that by hovering your mouse in your hero potrait
Holy fucking shit! When was the channel requires stop added cause I learned about it now!!!!!
so Ancient 3 player here and I am to dumb to use control groups, I feel like I am pushing the buttons as purge tells me but somehow it only works 20% of the time...
Where's the "attack click on cursor" option? League transfer here
how to autamaticaly select brood's spiderite to a control group?
I have a hotkey set up that selects all units that I control that aren't my hero. That might help you set up your control groups or you could just use that hotkey
Doubleclick on one spiderlite and it should choose all of them
thx... i didnt know we can do that.
uhhh song title please? please?
Thank you PURGE
The best way to learn dota is to have a friend who already knows the game
im so confused right now i havent even played the game yet
u can do it
Whaaaaaat? You can right click the map? My world is changed! Hopefully I don't forget...
Thank's purge. SeemGood
What happened to the rest of the guide?
Coming!
May I know what is the max price for a hero and a skin?
all heroes are free and skins can be thousands if they are really desirable but most skins are a few dollars or less
Not all HEROES wear capes
the first hero i've ever tried in dota was meepo, i played with some friends.......they didn't warn about how he worked.........
thanks purge
Isn't hold position better than stop?
Paweł Czechowicz from my experience, i believe it won't cancel abilities. Might be wrong though
It does. I'm not sure are you talking about canceling abilities in general or just in case 'only stops cancel tp/channeling' but it does either way. Hold Position is better since you won't be moving after clicking it - so you don't have to spam it when you're ruptured or something
You can hold down the stop key to issue a hold position in Dota 2,
Anyone else getting a short audio glitches in these? (e.g. 2:54). I'm afraid my sound card is dying.
Well in my warcraft III times our hands are all over the keyboard
thanks purge, im 1.9k but i never knew some of these tips. maybe thats why im stuck at 1,9 haha
well made videos!
Gracias purge! XD
Why is this game so complicated..., this is why i rather play league of legends than understanding this game lol
In league, its as simple as right click to auto or basic attack and thats it
Totally no clue you have a youtube channel 😲
Thank you. :)
thx purge
Please next video How to T-bag in Dota 2.
im really good at smite but really bad at this game, helpp
You can't see an enemy's abilities right? I think you say it can
yes you can see the enemies abilities. you just cant see what is skilled and how many points are skilled
What Now Nara Fangays? Ah yes yes, good point. Definitely misunderstood.
actully u can see some of the ability they skilled, abilities have cast range
I click on a DotA video and get a League of Legends ad... xD
Thanks
2 thumbs up! good job!!
Wait.
I'm early?
THANKS PURGE
