Keyboard and Mouse tips for a Noob?

[NOVOJ]

I was wondering if I could get some tips on playing with keyboard and mouse. I am not new to the game but I do suck pretty bad at not using a controller. My account level is like 135 and I have all gods mastered, 20 of those being diamond. I have the basics down as far as moving and aiming but my problems usually come with the extra keys like using abilities and upgrading. I find its pretty hard to do my specific combinations with abilities as smooth as I could with controller. Also played some matches against bots and I found it hard to play in team fights. Any tips will be helpful.

turn on instant casting

I have my keybindings set to default and do fine.

I set my abilites in Godbuilder and put it on auto pre-game lobby.
Build... I do NOT have on Auto.. i godbuilder each god with my preffered items with a few for occasionals so theyre easy to locate.

If youre having Major issues with keyboard and mouse i honestly dont have any other advice. Its not much but im a keyboard and mouse guy.

thank you for the tips ill definitely try instant casting. Im just so used to seeing where they go before activating. I usually have a controller set up but while playing on pc its annoying not being able to use vgs. This is why I usually just stick to my xbox but i love how it looks and feels on pc and am determined to get keyboard down. Just dont want to hit up public matches until i feel comfortable. Pretty sure people will report me non stop for feeding lol

i dont use autocast.. its a liability imo. Instant is a just a helper for those that dont confirm fast or ppl that dont like having both instant and non instant casting like many gods do..... I can cast and confirm pretty quick.

I will use the cast marker(think its on ruler idr) but not the hit boxes option.

Feeding is intentional.. if youre trying then thats what matters.. imo youre handicapping yourself on getting better playing against bots.

You gotta just log the hours with K&M. Play some other games too, Team Fortress 2 is f2p and helped me a ton learning K&M, also skyrim.

Press VER VVX VVN. Also use the left mouse button to attack

If you were sorry youd not be like that or leave it there when the guy said nothing wrong.
It didnt contribute but really man im sure these other people coulda said something a hella worse about your topic then anything youd have to say to Mossy over nothing.

Theres no quickfix to aid you in Keyboard and mouse... If youre having issues with team fights then thats either your map awareness or your ability to read your teammates movements.... Playing againts bots is just a handicap and wont serve any purpose to those that already know how to play and the rules of a matchtype.

All you can do is purposely try to be more aware or build habits to aid in it. Something people dont talk alot about why good gamers are good gamers... its the habits they form for situations so they react accordingly. This goes for all games and will improve yours extensively.

Think about the benifits most have with Keyboard vs controller and contemplate how to make it work for you.
Example-- At the very least Keyboard/mouse have 1 advantage across the board. Ease of vision/panning.
...... Keep in mind, you dont inherit skills and speed you consiously work on them... Fast gamers game fast cause they purposely game faster and faster intentionally. They make themselves jumpy, responsive and note why/what they did wrong.

one other thing to throw out there. May not pertain to you but may for someone else passing by

Try to break old habits that were formed young
like.
How kids will do the "dont blink" and try to get you to blink ect. My father was big against it and taught me not to tolerate it as theres many things that are counter productive as a human/animal.
^ that for example all it does is dull response mechanisms.

Were taught by society/tv and our peers in odd ways that diminish our potential... Like making a boy feel self concious for having a fair singing voice or in my case anything that deals with being asian. With the reflex thing ive seen it dull others permanantly to where they think reacting fast is being 'try hard' and it becomes inbedded. My dad wanted me to grow up into a tacticle super soldier (which wasnt fun) so i was raised with the 2xstrike deal.. I say stop its a warning, I wont say it a 2nd time before i stop you.(hinesight not good parenting.. to a degree.) either way.. i always prided myself on response and its proven invaluable. Gaming is good training.. It keeps the mind active which becomes harder to do as you get older. The brain like a muscle softens, response/nerves are nurtured and can be dulled to where it wont serve you. Theres nothing worse then feeling unreliable to yourself

synopsis.. Never be afraid to 'try hard' or put forth a added effort. Its the topping on the cake that growing up can make people forget sometimes.

Half on topic sorry

All true points and I honestly I know what I said was wrong but again I was just poking at them in a way. I appreciate all tips anyone has given me. No one was ever asking for a "quick fix" I was looking for any type of training I can do to get in the groove of using keyboard and mouse BECAUSE controller doesnt allow VGS. As I have stated above I am not new to the game and I do very well with controller even on PC. I have been gaming for a long time so I know what makes a gamers reflexes great and yes practice is one of the biggest aspects. You try, you fail, and you reflect. You correct the situation and you try again. Once again I appreciate everyone who has posted anything in this thread. I was not trying to hurt someone's feelings but more so be sarcastic but it seems you cant even do that these days

Also my post was more about getting the hand movement down for casting during time fights because moving and casting at the same time is a pain for someone who isn't used to it.
