Some Abilities Can't Be Canceled
I've noticed that not all abilities are able to be canceled with the cancel key even though they can be canceled with the ability button. The following abilities can't be canceled with the cancel key option.
Some Abilities Behave Odd With Cancel
I've noticed inconsistencies with how some abilities interact with the new options to have cancel be a cancel key or ability key.
Vertical Ropes Can't Be Jumped Off With Cancel
The vertical ropes that go to the roofs can be jumped off of with the jump key but not with the cancel key. This is inconsistent with zipline behavior that allows you to jump off the zipline with either jump or cancel.
Tooltips Near Reticle Don't Update
The tooltips near the reticle that show you what keys to press to cancel the ability only update when the hero is spawned into the game. This means that if you change your cancel key preferences mid game, it still shows the old preference. In the sandbox for example, switching heroes will update the tooltips to match your new cancel key preference.

Some Abilities Behave Odd With Cancel
I've noticed inconsistencies with how some abilities interact with the new options to have cancel be a cancel key or ability key.
- Abrams Seismic Impact: Can be "canceled" (it makes you crash down) by pressing the ability key regardless of cancel key preference. No tooltips for canceling the ability, though I guess that might be confusing since canceling it causes the same effect as clicking when in the air.
- Infernus Flame Dash: Can be canceled by the ability key regardless of preferences. This seems to be because the skill itself updates to be a cancel button.
- Yamato Shadow Transformation: During the initial channel, shows tooltips that say you can cancel, but can't cancel with either the cancel key or the ability key.
