Typing Speed and Communication (Strawpoll) in General Discussion
Seoulmate

    I've already made a topic similar to this before but wanted to try again

    Dota 2 is a game of communication. You can do this through the chatwheel, voice, or chat. While the obvious choice would be voice due to it's ease and speed, many players tend to use chat (to hide their voice, lazy, no mic, etc).

    I use chat/chatwheel myself due to the fact that I'm only 14 and some (most) people refuse to take me seriously. Which has forced me to usually play mute. On the other hand, using chat has increased my WPM (words per minute) significantly as I now type at an average of 130wpm. Prior to gaming, I typed at around 30wpm.

    I became curious to see how the different types of communication affect your typing speed.

    http://strawpoll.me/3718927/r and this typing test http://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english or whatever language you speak

    TL;DR - Take strawpoll and then typing test and post results of each

    Born

      You're only 14?
      I can't take this thread seriously.

                        Well, I got 93. I think you actually need to practise speed typing (touch typing?) to go 100+

                                  This test says that I made a mistake when I wrote "ещё" instead of "еще". Hmmm... confused...

                                        There is one good thing in russian language: you can read and pronounce correctly any word even if you see it in text for the first time in your life.

                                                  Since I was bored... I have hotkeys for most chatwheel options instead of chatwheel (whole keypad has everything, ss top middle and bottom, well played, care, smoke now, push, take tower and leave, back and some others) use chatwheel for Whoops, Game is Hard and some other funny ones.... Typing speed was 78 wpm. but when it's common phrases and you're less concerned about spelling or not using shorthand. (e.g. wk ss invis) it's usually a little faster ... and when it's sensicle sentences like the test at http://www.typeonline.co.uk/typingspeed.php it's also faster since it makes sense what you're typing.

                                                  I mainly "chatwheel" and alt click things though... typing gets you killed regardless of wpm and my accent is pretty unintelligable (and I'm a native english speaker D: )

Not letting you use the phrase nor move the mouse... happening relatively frequently to me since beast patch and I just don't use the damn wheel unless I'm safe (which I think it's not the purpose of the bloody wheel), because I already died a couple times with my mouse blocked there and it's really annoying...

                                                                          but i learnt typing back in remote times of WC3, not in d2, although there is no much difference.

                                                                          sano

                                                                                                especially '^' that double the number of hit on keyboard for a letter ...

                                                                                                Anyway, i knew the site, and with the keyboard of my laptop, i actually manage 127 once, and knew that i could be even faster.
                                                                                                If you made the little challenge on that site, for all sceptical about his 130, some of the challenges actuall show how much wpm you are at currently, and it's not hard to go >200 for like 5 secondes.
