Legacy hotkeys on some heroes. Message to developers
Hello. There is a problem due to the inconvenient location of the Legacy Keys for some heroes. For example, Spectre or Venomancer, their keys are located on I and L respectively, which causes a huge delay when pressing them, because the hand is located near the D and T keys, for the Spectre and E, W, V for the Venomancer, and reach for the I and L keys, you just have to take your hand off the very important buttons. For example, I like to put the Black King Bar item on the Caps Lock button, which is very far from these buttons.

Some of the new abilities don't have hotkeys at all on Legacy Keys, such as Muerta.

Or Lina's Aghanim's Scepter ability is back on the L button.

These are not all the heroes on which this problem is present, because. I couldn't remember all of them, but at least it needs to be checked for the rest too.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? I think it's important. Even some pro players play with legacy keys.

Support told me to write to the forum, so I write.
Can you fix this, Valve?

In a day one patch de new Meepo and Muerta spells had no hotkey until today.
And I agree, Legacy hotkeys need to be polish.

Yes, they add some hotkeys, but as I described above, not all of them. For example, a clinkz, who had an additional ability from a creep that was eaten, did not receive a hotkey, and then this talent was simply removed

Hope they fix this soon, I tried the qwer controls the other day once I saw a lot of skills doenst even have hotkey for legacy. It just wont work, the muscle memory for legacy keys is like breathing for players that has 10yrs using it.

Yeah, whole life through the dota allstars, they don’t understand. Even pro players like Arteezy or Miracle play Legacy. Why doesn't volvo care?

Any update on this from the Devs? At least a response? There are only a few heroes affected by it, 9, that shouldn't take more than 30 mins to fix all of it (I dunno how you assemble all the files so that included).
Bristleback (aghs)
Bloodseeker (aghs)
Luna (Lunar blessing - L)?
Lina (aghs)
Nature's Prophet (shard)
Lone Druid (bear shard drag)
Shadow Fiend (aura - P)
Razor (Storm Surge - N)?
Venomancer (shard)
