Make typing "ty" in chat trigger the hero's thank you dialog.

[Bladeee]

"lol" and "ty" and pretty standard, since /thanks and /laugh isn't hidden in chat and "thx" sounds kind of awkward in my option "ty" would probably be the best option.

[1337_n00b]

And, please, enable "Thanks." for thankyou as well. Because I add those dots.

[beamhardBC]

"ty" is better.
Thanks"." is not.

Just played a game, i urned my ally and he said "ty". i replied with an "lol" for his ignorance.

Well,some heroes automatically pronounce "thanks" when u "supp" them.
Like,if some1 heals u with ur,your hero will say "thanks".
Doesnt happen all the time,but it happens,and u can hear it.
And its good like that.
I even want to type "ty" to thanks to my alies,but when i hear hero pronouncing it,i stop,because then there is no need.

Its working as planned,its automated,its simple,its neat.
No need to make it work on manual basis only.

^There are more situations where you want to thank someone, not only when someone gives you heal or mana poitons.

+1 for ty.

+1

I actually never type "thx" as a shortcut but always "ty".

[chrisfrh]

probably adding a feature that it will replace what u wrote for something you want.

[spektor]

Maybe they will do some sort of menu, like in cs or tf2. That would be neat.

[Ner[D]]

Would be great.

Maybe even more such as "ss" will be made into "missing <current hero lane>" line that bot's use.

Because there are situation where your hero doesn't respond (when someone heals you, he pronounces "ty", but when you are saved from a gank and such - you type "ty"), so it would be just a nice touch. As the dialogue "bit" is in the game already.

And maybe one for "gl hf" - "good luck, have fun" and/or "gg" - "good game" or "wp" etc.

Agree with OP. "ty" is very standard. Valve should add it to activate hero voice.

[Goldenkrow]

+1 for ty

[saaanx]

I would rather bind it to commands, like /thanks /laugh /whatsoever, instead of binding it into common chatting. In fact, Key+Key (Ctr+1) would be the best way for emotes and stuff. (IMO)

[KrisK]

'ty' added for a future update.

TY for the feedback!

[bu3ny]

^ty for adding this :3

[Adronius]

+1 for "ss" and I also would like to hear something like "attack/defend this tower" when pinging to the towers.
