Come on Mechanik - when you're talking about something u should first know something about it. Customkeys are not a program - it's a BUILD IN by Blizard. That means it's totaly allowed to change spell layout for every hero. I dunno how to explain it more, coz it's sooo obvious. Every "pro W3 gamer" know this...
And by the way - quote:"... For example, changing the keyboard layout to make it easier to use is an accepted practice and not considered cheating...." It's not a binding nor it's scripting, W3 makers alow it in their build in. How anyone can compare this with hacks like MH ect....? Just because it's considered admissible and other people use it u cannot argue its hack.
Who cares?. If everyone would use it - fine.
But if 50% uses custom keys and 50% dont than GTFO. Its not fair.. especially if there is perna ban for map hack using. Custom keys aint much different... normal players have to press num lock keys to use backpack items.. you can set it with best keyboard key so u can have game easier.
German keyboard not german.. nobody cares.. if Icefrog would like to make easy game he would make u special custom keys or place all skills in zxcv.
I was and I will always bump about it cause I DO NOT LIKE IT!
Come on the fact that 50% use it and 50% don't doesnt mean thats not fair

Other people use arrows to move view of the map others don't - u say thats not fair? Funny - that's total nonsens - if it's considered be normal buildin feature u may use it or not - its UP TO U. And if u decide not to do that u cannot blame the others who use it.
Y u're talking about Icefrog - don't u know DotA is custom map running on w3?
