Learned a few tricks! I’ve been wanting an illusion guide for quite some time, very useful 👌🏻

Video is super useful, but I was still confused about a couple of things and the comments were a big help, this is my summary of what was useful. Biggest clarification that I got from multiple comments :- control groups are remembered, not only across multiple spawns of the illusions, but across games / quitting the game. Also, the same unit can be put into multiple control groups For Naga, to reduce my mental load I've assigned 1 illusion to 1, 2 to 2 and 3 select all other units (which is 3 to start with normally) and 4 to select my hero + my unit from 1. So I can split farm easier such that I can send 2 to 1 camp, send hero + 1 to another type of thing (may be a better way to do this, but this is getting me started!). I assigned space to select my hero (double tap space to select and center camera on hero). The other super useful tip is that ctrl right click movements issues movement orders to all units so if you want to get them all doing something "this is the way".

The simplest illusion guide I've been wanting for YEARS! Thank you sir.

bro you solved my many unknowns with that little notes about each hero, many thanks!!!

Thank you! Really waited for this guide!

Another genius video man... thanks! Very helpful! 8500 games and always something to new to learn :D

I needed this video! Thank you BSJ.

This is really helpful! Thanks BSJ!

Altought all those heroes are based on ilusion creation, they're so diffent one from another. That's what I enjoy the most on the game!

this was ridiculously helpful. Thank you

I had no idea you could bind a key to toggle autoattack on the illusions! Game changer!!!

For PL juking, the 100% dmg taken illusion is also always considered the first illusion summoned, so you can press tab to select it instead of a control group.

Great! I didn't know that PL thing.

Would appreciate the guide with some tips and tricks on Meepo or Arc Warden, especially since Meepo became really popular nowadays. Your guide rocks!

Love you bro.Your tricks are so efficient that even I who literally didn't play Dota 2 for like 4 years can make it through matches from being useless to useful man

This is exactly what i need tysm

Thx bsj sir, its very useful for me. Thx

Tip for hotkey for 'toggle autoattack' is very useful. Thanks BSJ!

You can also bind a key to focus on selected unit, to move the camera to a selected unit using a console command, nice for tab switching.

so good explained ty

This really useful, ty

Hey man. Great vid. How about chaos knight?

thanks man it realy helps

Really helpful thanks

Thank you!

This is exactly what i was looking for. goddamn

I needed this

This is so much better than me drawing a box and rightclicking like a fucking caveman. I've sent in my courier to die too many times to count lmao

Holly shit! This was so useful. I have some hours played and I have learned a lot. No wonder I suck at ilu heroes.

Thanks man

bless this man

Alternative title, "why you're gonna want to avoid these 3 heroes unless you want to"

Great video

Good one, like this content.

YES ! YES ! YEEESSS! GGWP BSJ!

excelente!

Excelent as always!

Nice vid

Appreciated Mister Jamma

Top tier content here

This video is 10/10 dude

going to add to all the others that were probably waiting for this guide. Is this also applicable to summons from NP, Lycan, etc?

thank god bsj updated illu control turorial

Can we get a video on good map reading habits and tools that can help awareness across the map?

ty.

Is there any reason you would do anything different for summon heroes like Brood or HelmDom Lycan? I have them essentially setup the same way with select all, other, and tab to last. Although the tab to last bite you if you are not keeping track.

what do you do for your item hotkeys? im so used to using my numbers as items

i like mouse wheel up /down for selecting hero /all

So if you control bind an illusion once, it will be the same when you resummon them?

do these htokeys stay or do you have to reassign them every time you load up a new game

So is there a way to toggle your illusions' auto attack instead of toggling the heroes auto attack?

What about cloning? I remember a while ago when Radiance Naga was meta I watched some guide that had to do with clicking on portraits, I used that one to gain a stupid amount of MMR

Can you do a video on all your hotkeys/ settings ?

Unified orders using Ctrl is extremely useful.. wish it would have been mentioned.

Idk why my control groups always resets but it used to be saved anyone know if its some steam cloud setting or smth

BSJ LONE DRUID POGGGG

i have 2 questions: how can i send an illusion to clear a camp and make that illusion to move into another camp after clear it, i see lot of pro do that, like they send an illu to a camp and queue to the next camp once they done. And i also see player to get the view of the selected unit every time they select it, like the currier or tb illus, they "v" and the camera move into it instants. (i know double tap the v will do it, but looks like always does in those players) thanks

I was just about to search "how to use control groups for Naga" .

Is there a Arc warden micro guide?

on god

As brood, everytime I tab it selects all my spiderlings, i dunno what's happenning

Time for the meepo tutorial

chaos knight :( would a vid on brood be possible also or are you just way more comfortable on these 3 heroes? would've been nice to say when to use select units on summon or not also, i do it with naga and tb but no pl for example

Too many hotkeys for my 3 buttons office mouse. But i'm playing at low mmr, so isn't like i really need this many functions 😅😅

Question: Do I have to assign the control groups on new illustions or the game will remember that "manta" illusionts are on X hotkey, and first 2 naga illusions are on Y hotkey, and the second two naga illusions are on Z hotkey?

You are making a monsters

Can you pls make a PL guide :). How to play the hero the best :)

Trick for PL juking: Just get inside demo, use dopple, choose the 100% dmg taken illu, press ctr+2 (the number can be whatever). And when you dopple, and click 2, it will always choose the 100% illu (even in real games outside demo). You only have to do this in demo 1 time, and spam it forever.

TAB+Attack ground . Done.

For some reason I interpreted the title as how to deal with illusion heroes on the enemy team

Next up arc warden caster, 4 active items.

Future BSJ sent me

I'm a DS main, and I'm sad that he is not included on this.

I'd rather hear how to find the real one in illusion heroes. Back in dota one it was easier to read Regen. Illus don't have Regen so you can see the hp bar difference so quick but that's not the thing on Dota 2 so yeah gg.

wow i just tried to change my hotkeys to match yours and im all fcked off

I still use S to hold position 😂

BSJ micro ICANT

Why no meepo

Anyone here experiencing resetting control groups mid-game on its own? Having to bind again after respawning sucks

thank you so much for this guide i will proceed to never pick any of these heroes ever again

I been playing Dota for 10+ years but I still cant multitasking illusions wtf 😂

comment!

Need an Item just to reveal illusions.

comment

you talk about binding PL's specific doppel illusion, but dont actually explain how to....

first

Please I beg you to delete this video. Illusion heroes are OP in lower bracket and its almost impossible to deal with them late game

cringe

And here I really thought your illusion hotkeys would be P N - ! $ 🙃 Awesome guide, I learned about the toggle autoattack.
