Use of middle mouse to pan camera question

[Meatex]

I have tried numerous times to get into dota as its such a popular game but I must say the lack of control over the camera and the requirement to move the mouse to the edge of the screen to pan is inefficient and frustrating for me and has put me off trying to learn the game now 3 times.
The middle mouse drag panning for camera exists but is completely broken as i cannot change speed or sensitivity or remove mouse acceleration on it and only works until the cursor touches the edge of the screen or any part of the ui and then the camera won't move.
Is there a way to fix this in config files at all?

I don't think there is any real way to fix this. You CAN configure your settings to use the arrow keys to pan the camera but it can be a bit cumbersome. I recommend just manning up and using the mouse. You'll get used to it very quickly and it'll almost be second nature.

I can see an option of determining camera speed, but I don't know what that does. I don't have any problems with the camera speed. I do, however, barely use the edge pan.

Try left-clicking on the mini-map if you need to see something quickly and click back on your icon to return to your hero. Clicking the portrait will also get you back to your hero's position.

Oh, and you can also hold down the button on the minimap and look around like that if you need to scout the area.

Well, edge-pan always compensate how much you're moving with your mouse so you're always pointing at the same place "gamewise", the only way to make it more sensitive is making the mouse itself more sensitive.

I don't think anyone has understood my question...
@Jajo I am using the mouse... edge pan, while i may get used to it will always be inefficient and frustrating
@mxk clicking on minimap is still far too time consuming and inefficient and does not allow for micro
@sprezzatura sorry im not sure what you are trying to say :(

Ideally I want to turn edge pan off entirely as its simply bad and use drag panning ala SC2 but this function is broken in dota 2 it seems and unless someone understands what I am refering to and has a solution i unfortunately will not be able to play dota 2

I know what you feel bro!

Third time i also trying playing DOTA 2,
I've stoped on Tutorial, because i can't pam the Camera the way i used to.

I come from years in HOTS, and StarCraft2, I use Middle mouse to pam around.

In Dota it's move the cursor to the border, also stop the pam, has no sensitivity to that way of pam.

IT's a MESS!

Can't play, im not a fan off edge pam, or arrow.
Try finding a fix, but found nothing.

Years ago i remember not trying the game, for same reason, they even try to fixit, or enable.

Two simple things have to be done.

A option to LOCK the mouse cursor while you pam with middle mouse button.
A sensitivity option to that way off pam the camera.

Just look at HOTS middle mouse button Pam system. THAT'S the way should be done.

I hope one day i could play Dota 2.

Even in original Dota, it's work that way.


I ask that in 2013, since the BETA,
PLZ VALVE, bring that's to live!
