So after all the vids I checked and these forum info I have my hot keys set to quick cast and I changed “A” to LMB. and its working for me. thanks all again for contributing. loving the LMB + quick cast.
Glad the input helped. I would say it is worth going into “try” mode and messing around on your favorite heroes to decide when “cast on release” is good for what abilities. A great example:
On Garrosh I use quick cast for his throw, but cast on release for his knockup. It lets you aim much easier and minimizes mistakes. The main tank for HeroesHearth had a good video on this last year. I find that there are similar abilities like this that I like to tweak.
Whatever you use, activate attack move target point in settings.
You technically do not have to click on enemy to AA him.
You don’t want Attack-Move on any default movement/frequent bind, because it’s a very specific, circumstantial command in a MOBA.
Force Move causes issues with hanzo’s Q ability, maybe others??? So I made a regular SmartCommand right click with A left click hotkey profile for him. I just switch hotkey profiles after I have selected the hero for the match.

Bro.
No matter how much you’re helping, you just necroed a thread. You know who doesn’t like having to deal with those? I’ll give you a hint:
I use quick cast skills and attack on lmb, and rmb to move/interact.
It’s strange I’ve been looking all over forums to put these settings on a friends acc but not many people seem to know the hotkey bind for attack on lmb, they only press A.
I am still able to use fountain or whatever with just changing hotkeys> heroabilities(quickcast) > attack > lmb. also have hotkeys>gameplay>attack move target point.
attack on lmb removes that 2 step delay in pressing a, and use rmb in between lmb to move in between auto attacks.
Is this an Unholy sign for me to stop using the left click as an Attack move. I’ve been thinking about it and I know the muscle memory and skill will sling shot into WC 3 as an UD main.
Sorry to bump this, but this is quite relevant. I think HOTS needs to add a target reticle whenever you attack move? So when you stutter-step, it looks really cool and that it does look like you’re attack moving. For example, when you play WC 3 Reforged, or League of Legends, whenever you press “A” it turns into a target reticule until you press it. It’d look proffessional instead of a red arrow really. I saw it on the DK when I was stutter-stepping on a fort and thought, why isn’t that an option at least?
To be fair, A → left click goes so fast you shouldn’t really be noticing the mouse.
Honestly i’ve been away from HOTS for 5 months, so i can’t really remember the down sides too having the attack move command on LMB only, but i do remember that there were a good couple of downsides with it.
Which is also the reason i would stick to A → LMB.
BUT you can play attack move however you like, some people even play proffesionaly without Attack Moving, by just simply right clicking.
For me personally playing Right Click only became quite risky from time to time as you click like 400 times a minutte during combat, among 400clicks it is easy to missclick acouple of times.
