Console Commands are quite unpopular in the general player base of Dota as they don’t know the advantages and perks it brings to the game. The Console Commands can vary from helping you disable certain settings or can help you enable or optimize your gameplay. 

We have compiled this list of the 7 Best Console Commands which will up your performance, whether you're a newbie or an experienced player, these settings are guaranteed to help!

7. dota_health_hurt_decay_time_max 0

This command is quite unheard of by the general masses but it’s quite popular in the professional scene. This essentially is a QoL improvement where there is no delay in the decay of the HP bar. In simple terms, instead of the HP bar slowly fading and reducing as you take damage, this command makes the transition instant which can be helpful in certain situations. 

6. key_listboundkeys

This command will help you show what you have bound on which exact button. It’s an extremely useful command for people who are often forgetful about their keybinds and configurations. 

5. dota_force_right_click_attack 1 

This is a very helpful command for people who have difficulties pressing both left and right mouse buttons at once, or maybe they’re using faulty mice. Whatever the case may be, this command has many uses, but the most important use is that you can use right-click to deny your own creeps.

4. dota_camera_disable_zoom 1

This command works great for all the clumsy players who hastily use the mouse wheel which results in the sudden zoom of the map. This can be risky if you’re in a high-pressure situation and lose control of your hero.

3. dota_minimap_misclick_time x

Ever accidentally clicked on the mini-map while being chased by the enemies? It’s a terrible feeling seeing your hero turn in the opposite direction, directly into their own death. This is preventable if you use this command. You can modify the command by replacing the x with any number (ideally a small one). That number is essentially the number of seconds it takes before your click is registered on the mini-map. 

2. dota_disable_range_finder 0

This command is useful for all players regardless of their skill or medal. This command enables the rangefinder on the skills, meaning it shows you the exact range required to cast an ability. The range is marked by green color and the red color after it means you’re out of range for casting the spell. 

1. Disconnect

This may seem like a joke but this is a command that surprisingly not many people are aware of. This command disconnects you from the server that you’re connected to, which is faster to do instead of manually leaving the server. This is great if you accidentally click on spectate game and don’t want to wait an eternity to connect and then disconnect.

What is Lorem Ipsum?It's time for them to learn their place. Reina storms the King of Iron Fist Tournament in #TEKKEN8  Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.     Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.Where can I get some?There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised
