Overview

Communicating anything will open the menu. The menu allows you to change dummy hero, add status buffs, change the dummy strafe pattern, return to spawn, Toggle HUD, and enable Rollout mode.

Rollout mode allow players repeatedly practice a certain path or mechanic. While in rollout mode, your position will be reset after killing your dummy, allowing you to repeatedly practice without having to travel back to your starting point every time. Holding crouch at any time will set a new starting position for your rollout. Tapping crouch 3 times will reset the user to the start postion.
