DOTA 2's got no shortage of things to click, look at, and keep track of. You've got to last hit, also deny, but it's almost time for the runes to spawn, and there are two enemy heroes missing. On top of all that, you need to buy your Items. But there's no time!

At some point in your DOTA 2 career, you need to learn to be efficient. You can't keep opening the shop each time you wanna buy a Clarity.

Thankfully, DOTA 2 has Quick Buy. You can buy Items with a single hotkey. Here's how.

Step 1: Open the shop.

Either click the small shop button at the bottom right of your screen or press its relevant hotkey (F4 by default).

Once inside the shop just identify the items you wanna buy.

Step 2: Setting your Items to Quick Buy.

After you've chosen an Item to buy, just shift + left-click it in the shop.

You'll see the Item (or its recipe) at the bottom right of your screen, above your gold.

Step 3: Buy the Items.

DOTA 2 lets you know when you've got the gold for your items in Quick Buy. You'll hear a small coin purse.

When that happens, just right-click the item in the quick-buy area to buy it. If you're too busy, you can use the Auto-buy hotkey (F5 by default).

Here's a video breaking it down.

With this, you can keep focusing on the stuff that matters. Like runes and ganks.

What is Lorem Ipsum?It's time for them to learn their place. Reina storms the King of Iron Fist Tournament in #TEKKEN8  Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.     Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.Where can I get some?There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised
