How do I stop clicking on the minimap in Dota 2?

-

I’ve been playing Magnus for over 100 games and thousands of Dota matches overall, but I still struggle with clicking on the minimap too much. It often feels game-losing, and I’ve thought about switching the minimap to the right side. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Also, I tend to misclick on hero portraits, and I wish there was a way to disable that entirely.

I never really click the minimap anymore since I switched to having it drawn on the right side. You should definitely give that a try; it feels way better than the default left setup, which honestly is pretty outdated.

I click the minimap all the time, plus the hero icons too, haha! It’s just part of my playstyle, but I’m trying to improve on it.

FraggingFury -

Increasing the delay as much as possible, or even turning it off completely, can help. Just play around with it and see what feels best for your playstyle!

RogueShockwave77 -

Yeah, I tried that, and it didn’t really help much for my ability clicks either.

CritMaster3000 -

You might want to check the delay settings in the game menu. Adding a delay for the cursor on the minimap can help reduce accidental clicks. Just remember, this mainly works when you right-click, so it might not fix every issue if you’re using abilities from the minimap.

StealthySniper88 -

I tested it too, but the delay only seems to work with right clicks. If you use abilities like Skewer, you can still end up clicking the wrong way.

If you’re a camera grip player, this might not be an issue for you. I find it keeps my focus more on the battlefield instead of the minimap.
