let us take off health/mana bars and spell indicators.

[vector]

look i been playing a while .... and i honestly don't want the added clutter. please have an option to disable this stuff in the game section of settings.

you have stuff like allow autobuying (which is terribad) but u dont have options like this .... i think this is a lot mroe important than stuff like that.

please let us disable health/mana bars and spell indicators and PLEASE let us have our old ALT function back (or at least let us bind it) that way we can check health/mana bars when we want isntead of it always being there :/

k thx.

I am pretty sure there will be more options available for this kind of customization (maybe not this specific one), I believe updates will fulfill real good needs for improvement purpose.

On topic, actually I am fine with this becasue this will give me helpful information, then I am trying to get used to it.

+1 about ALT, I have been playing for two months, and still not getting used to it. Kinda feels weird the health bars do not disappear when my hand isn't on alt. Also the spotlight function is almost useless for me: usually in the heat of battle if i lose visual contact with my hero, he/she would be out of my screen. If the hero was in the screen, i wud probably recognize it because hero models are unique now. The spotlight just illuminates everything around the hero and adds the beam. Hero mini-portraits are also a little weird because they do not match up with the player's team color.

im not saying to take it off ... just saying let us disable it if we want & give us our old ALT function back. new one is quite useless. if u lose sight of ur hero just center urself and bam ... though it looks cool we dont need te spotlight .... and u can also bind it to something else isntead. just give us our old ALT

Shut up. We've had this conversation for 130 pages and we don't want to do this again.
Let IceFrog handle it since he chose not to have mana bars when HoN and LoL already does.

.......... There are no manabars.....

.......... There are no manabars.....

There are on friendlies.
This is talking about hiding health/mana bars on friendlies and health bars on enemies, not about wanting to hide non-existent mana bars on enemies. Seriously this isn't complicated stuff.

healths bars are fine imo, and you have 1 key to center the screen on your hero.. just find it

[orangenod18]

your problems can be solved in CONSOLE, google it!

[vector]

umm .... last time i checked i could see mana on my enemies as well .... was that a bug?

[samich]

you can already do this with some basic scripting

[VeRychard]

I was playing with Health bars always on in DotA 1 as well.. It was nice. I guess, but an option for disabling it is for the good of the community
so +1
or what

[ALPHATT]

are you guys kidding me, you want less readability just because you're used to a game(Wc3) that has horrible readability compared to this game. Hold down alt? my ass. but yeah, what orange said.

[SkittlesAreYum]

I can't imagine playing without health bars visible all the time, as it makes me always aware of the situation and I don't have a problem processing it all. But why not make it an option? If someone doesn't want it then fine.
