Abilities being used when using TAB to upgrade

[vragusa]

I normally use TAB to upgrade my abilities because my ALT was used for something else, but using TAB gives me a problem: depending on the ability, it uses the ability AND upgrades it, which leads to awkward situations during laning phase or fights.

Some abilities that I can remember being used when upgraded with TAB: Mina's 2nd skill, Doorman's 3rd skill, Talon's 2nd skill.
Those are really important abilities that when used out of context can be the death of those characters, so unless you hold TAB and CLICK the ability, you will have to wait until you are behind an wall to upgrade it.

Which leads to another problem: I tried to return to ALT to upgrade my abilities, but ALT only works if you use the default 1, 2, 3 and 4 hotkeys. If you use a different hotkey (mine are M4, M5, E and F) the game doesn't upgrade it.

This leads to very frustrating experiences during some matches, specially under pressure in lane phase.

I had to relearn the game using alt bind

You can change the key combo to upgrade in the hotkeys menu to anything.

This has been bugging me for some time. Thank you for making a post on this.

I know, but that's the problem. I didn't want to use Alt because it was my parry, and ctrl is crouch, so tab was the perfect shortcut, but it has this problem which it uses the ability the same time it upgrades it, which is annoying.
