Dota – Are these commands considered legal or cheats
dota-2
dota_disable_range_finder
dota_range_display
Are those safe to use or are they considered to be cheats?
Best Answer
dota_range_display requires sv_cheats 1. You can use it in custom bot games or other games with cheats enabled, but not in matchmaking. This was not always true, but was changed in a patch a few months ago. Many professional offlaners used this, most notably Admiral Bulldog.
dota_disable_range_finder is not currently considered a cheat and is also used by many professional players, most notably rtz.
First of all, Windrunner's ability only dodges ranged autoattack projectiles. If it says otherwise, it's wrong.
Projectile is a mechanics term that includes ranged autoattacks and targeted spells that are a missile. Most projectiles can be "disjointed" by blinking, while others cannot.
Off the top of my head, Sven's Storm Hammer and Windrunner's Shackleshot are spells that cannot be dodged by blinking or teleporting. There are probably others.
Others such as VS's stun, Sniper's ultimate, etc. can be dodged with a Blink Dagger, Teleport Scroll, or similar spells that contain a disjoint such as Mirana's leap or QoP/AM's Blinks.
If you click on your Dark Treasure in the backpack, you can see which items can pop out of it.
About the items in it:
Equipment, or cosmetic items, are items that can be equipped in the loadout menu of the customize tab. They have no effect on gameplay, and exist only to alter the look of the heroes and their abilities. Equipment can be earned in a multitude of ways: they can be randomly found after Matchmaking and Co-op matches, by leveling up through Battle Points, by opening Chests, or by buying them in the Dota 2 Store. There is also a small chance to receive an item of higher rarity by deleting items (not applicable to chests).
Keys cannot be found from random drops. Upon purchase, they are immediately tradable, provided the user's first Steam purchase was more than 30 days ago
So, in the end: items are just cosmetic, you can still trade them upon opening the box. You require to buy the correct key from the shop. Some chests may contain a special kind of courier.
