Occasionally after dying (maybe once per game), my keyboard will stop registering inputs in game. It happens especially around dying, and I think could be related to use of the buy menu? I also notice that sometimes my keyboard stops registering while I'm using the buy menu, and I have to exit (with ESC) and reopen the buy menu for it to work again. I notice because "B" won't close the menu and it will stay open, but if I press ESC to close and B to open, it will start registering again.
This has been happening for at least several weeks, I think mostly since the major 6 heroes patch. It's quite annoying to spawn in and need to get to a teamfight or objective quickly and not be able to move. I usually ask a friend or teammate to pause.
The fix seems to be some combination of time/randomness/alt+tabbing. If I alt+tab in and out of the game a few times, usually it will start registering again. But it wastes usually 10-15 seconds and is very frustrating. Please look into these keyboard input issues! It does seem related to the buy menu in some way.
