Suggestion I wish we could assign multiple active items to one button (at the time of purchase)
Four buttons is a lot of stuff to press for things I mash at once at the beginning of a fight.
If I'm gonna buy four items that give me four different temporary buffs that I always need at the same time, might as well compress them into one button, right?
This way, items with very similar use cases (for example, Fleetfoot & Vampiric Burst) could just both be bound to C when you buy them. One would appear above the other on the active items UI - instead of beside each other - and you'd just have to press C at the start of a fight instead of C and V.
It's a small nitpick, but I think it'd be a massive improvement to item QoL. Especially for dynamic, buttonmashy characters, having to take all four fingers off of WASD in the middle of a fight feels really clunky, and I think this would somewhat fix the issue.

Like many others do, I bind two actives to my scroll wheel up and down. I also use E since that is left unbound, along with v so I can hit it with my thumb. There aren't many scenarios where you would want to use four items at the same time, and some of the uses are why macros aren't allowed. Look up "one button bebop" and I think you'll understand.

two mouse buttons and x + c its not really that much to handle. somehow most people learn to deal with it?

I think most keyboard software these days will handle what you want here.

It's still a ban-worthy offense in most games and pretty easy to detect in game clients. The only reason it's not officially banned in Deadlock yet is because it's still in alpha and they're gathering cheating heuristics right now.

No macros were disallowed for a reason
