Hotkeys are broken and Total Score is missing @Kaivax

@Kaivax, the wc3 development team and the community!

Since the patch hotkeys don’t work properly anymore and it hurts the game quality. Please make it possible to use the original way of using the txt document (customkeys) in order to make your own hotkeys. Currently it is broken and not functioning correctly anymore. The new method you implemented in options is missing things (race shop,mercenary etc) and also we can not change the position of tiles anymore. As of now since the lack of missing hotkeys gaming experience got worse compared to before the big update.

In the post game lobby right after each game the most important section called Total Score is missing. This was an integral part for 23 years. Now you have to do like 5 clicks after the game in your match history to find this important stat for quickly seeing who was the most rated player. There could even be like a crown or MVP sign for the best player in the post game lobby immediately showing total score in proper order.

Thank you

And i forgot. Please consider bringing back an unranked mode where you can quickly q up with friends without restrictions. The change for 4v4, 3v3 now only allowing random team is good because it actually makes those modes “solo q” and the stats thus mean more but wc3 is a social team game as well. (BTW why is 2v2 still allowing 2 premades to face 2 randoms). As of now every other 4v4 game there are leavers and flamers. There could be a time punishment for leaving the game immediately in ranked play and have the unranked mode be the one without punishments, social restrictions and stats.

Thanks <3

^ RE: HOTKEYS - To be more specific, every time you patch the game, the customkeys.txt gets overwritten and everyone’s custom key bindings, positions etc. get broken. Potentially also when even browsing the menu, the customkeys.txt gets overwritten. Please make this functionality OPT IN, it is very annoying when players have made their own solutions over the last decade or more.

I replaced the file with one I had saved and it still doesn’t work, so i think its not that.

and in the patches before this last one everything was fine

Such as shaman’s purge need change to “p2rg”,necromancer’s unholy frenzy to “auhf”

go to the folder and in properties set custom keys to read only check box and your old keys will work again
