misc. micro I wish I had
12 October 2009 by Matt
there are some aspects of micro I never worked on because I “quit” like two years ago. here are a couple maybe some of you will want to work on. both of them deal with “awareness”.
the first is cooldown timing. spells, items. I hardly know any of them. just knowing the value isn’t enough; you have to be able to time it too.
the second is knowing how close your heroes are to leveling (and what you need to kill to get it). for example in battles, if your shadow hunter is about to level to 3, you might want to kill something and skill heal wave before casting it.

I’m not sure how you do your skilling during a game, but I have a bad habit of letting go of my hand on my house to hit O + W when I want to skill up water elemental let’s say, and during a battle, I wouldn’t really want to do something like that.
mouse* ofc….house….
you can hit the skill button with your mouse and hit hotkey with left hand
i personally do both with left hand, i have train skill on R and with human all spells are DFG
I’ve always been using the default hotkeys since RoC, but many( and I mean many times) I’ve considered making my move key into Q or something for an easier surround.
