Keybinds for MOBA players#
- Keep abilities on the keys your fingers already know — Q W E R isn’t possible because W moves you, so many MOBA players use 1 2 3 4 or move melee off Q to free it for an ability.
- Put active items on keys next to your abilities (Z X C V or mouse side buttons).
- Bind “show item shop” and the scoreboard somewhere easy — you’ll check them often.
Keybinds for FPS players#
- Move your most important ability (often your escape) to a mouse side button.
- Keep parry on a key you can hit without thinking — it’s a reaction.
- Use Space for jump and keep dash on Shift; dash-jump timing relies on them being comfortable together.
Active item binds#
Active items such as Dispel Magic, Unstoppable or Warp Stone often decide fights. Bind each item slot to a key you can press while moving and aiming, and keep your defensive actives in the same slots every game so muscle memory works. Since City Never Sleeps you can save keybinds as a shareable code and set them per hero.
