[QOL] Spell Specific Quickcast Settings for Invoker / Rubick (similar to advanced item quickcast settings)

[UnpopularOpinion]

Description

With the addition of advanced item quickcast settings, it would be nice to have spell specific quickcast settings as well. Specifically for Invoker / Rubick whose abilities depend on situation - where the D key and F key (additional spell hotkeys) are occupied by rotations of different spells.

Example rubick case; stealing a spell usually you play with quickcast would feel very off when it's set to normal cast and vice versa.

Example invoker case; enabling quickcast for both D and F hotkey would require invoker to use alt + hotkey for selfcast alacrity or catacalysm while some would still prefer double pressing the hotkey for self cast instead

Example Match ID (and possibly Timestamp)

For Rubick the Stolen Spells, KeyUp/KeyDown/Quickcast off behavior depends on the original heroes setting for the spell.

I don't have Advanced Quickcast/Autocast turned on, with it turned on everything is quickcast.

This should be resolved. Please reopen this if you are still experiencing issues with quickcast, and please provide details on:

• [ ] Unit Specific Hotkeys
• [ ] Enable Advanced Quickcast/Autocast Hotkeys
• [ ] Use Legacy Keys

I'm sorry @bwvalve but I think you misunderstood OP request. They're suggesting a QoL feature, not duplicating a quick cast bug.

They want analogical to this screen for Invoker spells so i.e. you could set up sunstrike on key up and tornado on key down - or maybe even go further and allow different keybinds at all.

---

if we go super far ahead in dreams then this extra screen would be handy for every neutral creep in the game and for all kinds of transformation/summons, i.e. Lone Druid Bear/Brewmaster/Chen/Beastmaster/Doom/Helm of the dominator.

But yeah, Invoker one would be really handy.

To @bwvalve, what user @Aluerie mentioned is correct. this issue isn't related to the recent quick cast bug. it is a QoL suggestion. I think it was mistakenly closed as a duplicate of the quick cast bug that was patched recently.

I'm currently out of town and would've missed this, so thank you very much @Aluerie for pointing it out. It seems that I am unable to reopen this issue (no button for it). If @bwvalve can kindly reopen this issue, that would be great. Or am I required to create a new issue with this referenced instead?

[Aluerie]

Ye, you cannot reopen the issue yourself if repository collaborator has closed it.

and ye, let's wait a few days if bwvalve checks this back - it's Saturday after all.

Additional info: nowadays rubick stolen spells follows up only by cast/quickcast rule on his keys. Dota doesnt apply rules for that spells from its original heroes. If i choose normal cast for "the calling" from Muerta and stole it by Rubick - Rubick will quickcast it if this spell will be in his quickcast button. For Rubick implementation "Turn on/off priority of cast settings from other heroes" will be enough.
