1. Go to the top left corner of Steam Client and press "Steam"

2. Second to bottom option is Settings, open it

3. On the left side look for "In-Game" section

4. Scroll down and you will find Screenshots, assign your button there.

are you doing the steps given?

from google - To take a screenshot in Dota 2, the default Steam hotkey is F12. If you want to change this button, you can do so in the Steam settings by going to Steam > Settings > In-Game and modifying the screenshot hotkey. You can also use the Windows Snipping Tool (Windows Key + Shift + S) or the Print Screen (PrtSc) key, though F12 is generally preferred for Steam-integrated games like Dota 2.

F3 is way better for me to catch specific frames during fast encounters.
I couldn't reach F12 comfortably during those, without my hands leaving either the left part of the keyboard or the mouse to take a shot, which resulted to death in most cases.
So I switched it to F3.

Make sure you haven't accidentally disabled the overlay for that specific game. Right click the game in your library, select properties, "Enable the Steam overlay while in game".

Ah, OK. The overlay shouldn't cause disconnections in Dota, but maybe there is a bug that I don't know about. Steam can't take screenshots without the overlay though.
