How I Return Flags Faster Than Anyone Else In The Game

I have been sharing this for well over a decade and I still get questions as to how I return flags so quickly. Even in 2600+ mmr rated battlegrounds. I often get accused for some shady clicking business. However anyone can do this and it will also help you for clicking warlock portals, clicking nodes while mining or your lure while fishing etc. Thanks to Dragonflight’s interaction changes, it has gotten even better.

  1. Open the options interface and type “interact” into the search bar

  2. Under the Controls subheading check the Enable Interact Key to be enabled

  3. Under the Keybinds subheading bind the primary keybind to mouse scroll wheel up and the secondary keybind to mouse scroll wheel down

  4. Rebind Camera Zoom In to like Alt+Scroll Wheel Up and Zoom Out to Alt+Scroll Wheel down

As the flag carrier is dying, spam your scrollwheel up and down while moving your mouse around where it should drop in front of your character and you will quickly return the flag much faster than anyone whom is relying on their mouse click to return it.

True twink gamer strats :ok_hand:

I miss having interact with mouseover bound. Used to have a dual scroll wheel mouse with no clicks for insane speed but then had to swap to a 12 button that has the click during roll and its not the same

Need me a 20 function mouse with dual scroll option :dracthyr_cry_animated:

Light Damn it… this is genius!

Two years later.

Something must’ve changed in the UI since 2 years ago… can’t find any of the settings he’s talking about.

It’s just the interact keybind. The thing that lets you interact with things without right clicking

I have no free keybinds
