Chat Wheel

The Chat Wheel is an in-game interface tool for quickly sending messages to teammates. By holding down the assigned hotkey, moving the mouse in any of the eight directions and releasing the hotkey, a predetermined message gets sent to the team chat. Players are able to change the messages in the Chat Wheel to any of the 87 available phrases. The Chat Wheel can also be used to send emoticons and graphical sprays.

Dota Plus subscribers can equip sound effects, emoticons, and hero-specific lines, which are earned by leveling up the corresponding hero.

Usage
To send a message using the Chat Wheel, hold down the hotkey and move your mouse in any of the eight given directions. When you release the Hotkey, the message will be sent to your teammates. Messages sent from the Chat Wheel have a ▶ distinctive arrow in front of them and appear in players' local language setting, making it an invaluable tool for communicating with players who do not speak your language. Muted players can still use the Chat Wheel.

To change the phrases or the Chat Wheel hotkey, navigate to the CONTROLS tab of the OPTIONS screen and click CHAT. It is also possible to bind individual Hotkeys to the default Chat Wheel phrases there.

Phrases
There are currently 87 available phrases. This table lists them, as well as their Console equivalent.

By using the  command in console, it is also possible to create hotkeys for non-default phrases, e.g.   to make K output   in chat.
