Targeting

Self-Targeting & Auto-Attack

from Demigod Forums

As DotA addicted O:) , I feel these 2 points are missing...

Auto-Attack

You have to target a creep and  Right-Clic on it, to become attacking it.

Otherwise, if you click just next to the creep, the hero will just go to that point, and watch creep... 8|

 

There should be a Short keys which make the hero attack the 1st hostile target he meet.

As,  Alt-A   (in Warcraft3 and lots of other RTS).

 

Self-Targeting

Second annoying point, when you are in a messy melee figt with lots of creeps, minions and ennemies; It's really hard to target our self quickly and accurately.  And it's make you miss  precious seconds, you could have use to cast on yourself your protective spell (Shield, Heal,...) -_-

 

There should be a Short keys which make the Spell you cast targeting your-self.

Example: holding Alt when clicking on the spell icon.

 

These are suggestions :thumbsup:

There is auto-attack:

Attack move: Hold Alt and right click

Self targeting: Hold Ctrl to highlight demigods only.  There was a key to select your own demigod, see the options keyboard menu but I'm not sure if it does what you want.

Actually  Ctrl, isnt really helpful.

This game need an selt-target shortkey X|

 

Another point about targeting, is the Teleportation scroll.

When a a middle a battle, you need to retreat by TP yourself to the base.  You have to travel throutght the entire map, until your reach your base, to finally target accuratly one building (precious waste of time). If you click just 1 cm next the building,  nothing happens... :thumbsdown:

In dota, its really more instinctly,

In one hand, you can click next to the building, the TP will choose the nearest building :thumbsup: .  No need to lose time, we usually need to target extremly accuratly the building.

On the other hand, no need to travel the map until the cursor reach your base, in dota, you can just clicl the building drectly in the mini map. Which is a huge gain a time :thumbsup:

 

Once again these are suggestions  ;)

Actually if you could just click on the big ass picture of yourself at the bottom of the screen that would make things a lot easier.
