                    You play with WASD camera right?

                    Pale Mannie

                      ^any problems?

                        Yea wasd is bad. When I started dota I used to play with it too. I noticed I made a LOT of mistakes so I made a thread like this too. After I changed to edge pan, it took a bit to get used to it. But after I did get used to it I climbed a lot of mmr.

                        I believe the reason I climbed was that wasd players click way more keys so they get faster when they change to normal edge pan camera.

                          Don't want to offend anyone but generally every player for who I heard that he controls camera with WASD was in normal skill bracket.

                          I saw some people using CAPS LOCK as a hotkey aswell, it's actually a quite good idea since it's quite close to the main hotkeys, just not sure if it's possible to disable it's main function when in game so I don't accidentally type in ALL CAPS.
                          Anyone know if that's possible?

                          We just released an updated hero and facet statistics page featuring more data and advanced filters. Oh, and it supports Turbo!
