I click CTRL + W and it'll give me the indicator of where my cast will land. However, sometimes I will be clearing waves and want a precise Blizzard to cover all the creeps. My regular method of casting spells is set to Quick Cast, so if I am playing Jaina and my tank stuns a noob, I can faceroll WEQ and cast everything in an instant. When I save these settings and get into a game, I now have the option of both Quick Cast as well as Quick Cast on Release through simple hotkeys without changing anything. I wish to use Control as my modifier of choice (explanation at the end of this post). The red colors indicate that no hotkeys have been allocated to this. Luckily for me, this is possible! If you open the Advanced page again, you can roll down the "On Release" window, and it'll look like this. However, sometimes I want precision over speed. This means, if I am in a game and click W, it'll cast in the direction of my mouse, instantly. This is how the menu will initially look: įor this example, I will be changing my hotkeys based on a new profile which started at "Standard", where I have set the Global Quick Cast Setting to ON ( ), which is what I prefer. Menu > Hotkeys > (Create a new profile if you're afraid of fucking something up, although this is pretty fool-proof) > Advanced.
However, you can set up other modifiers for other quickcast settings in the Hotkey menu. Many of you may know that Alt + Hotkey casts the ability on your hero themselves, or if it's a skillshot, in the direction they are facing. I can use Control + W (Control being my modifier key) to use the On Release setting instead, allowing me to essentially use two hotkey profiles with their unique advantages with the simple use of a modifier key. However, sometimes I require precision, for example when using Piercing Shard Ice Lances on a Siege Camp, or Blizzard on a Minion Wave. My global setting is "On", meaning my abilities will cast as I click the hotkey. Illustrative Example: When I play Jaina, I want to be able to cast my spells as fast as possible to burst as hard as possible. You can easily set this up in the Hotkey menu following this little guide. This allows you to have your prefered ability activation method, but gives you access to a secondary method on-demand. TLDR: It is possible to set up a modifier key to switch between Hotkey settings (On Release, On, or Off).
