I wanted to enable the console, so I Googled how to do it and found that I could do it by putting -console in the launch options of the game. I did that, but now the console opens every time I start Dota 2. Is there a way to have it open if I push `, but not whenever I start the game up?

Yes, you can do that.
Go to
…\Steam\SteamApps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\cfg\and create a new file calledautoexec.cfgnext toconfig.cfg, so it won't get overwritten. Open it and add a line that sayscon_enable "1". That will enable the console even without adding-consoleto the launch settings.Alternatively, you could add
hideconsoleto the configuration file to hide the console after it pops up, but I recommend the first method.
