Hey everyone, gonna try and learn terran since playing Z and seeing nerfs every week is causing me stress/rage.

1at

or 1 t a for variety

but seriously, I usually have my blob on 1, with marauders on 2 and marines on 3 (helps vs banelings). 4, 5 are production centers divided by tech lab or reactor, 6-9 are orbitals with 0 having all OC's hotkeyed for scans

When kerrigan gives me a better arsenal and a blowjob ill consider not at least temporarily switching.

It feels like I am abandoning my favorite childhood dog, the vet tells me hes fine but we should keep an eye on him, and then every week when I go for a checkup/medicine my dog gets more sick.

He now has rabies, a massive tumor, and shits on the carpet. I'm getting tired of dealing with it. Hence why I am tempted to put him down.

Yeah that was me. Once top 150 in NA, now I'm just a lowly 1300 rated diamond Z who doesn't have enough time to play as much as I like, so there is basically no way I will ever be back where I was rank wise in beta, and thus I would rather play lag free and let you guys watch the several other Z streams who are far better. I'm finding it hard to even consider playing terran, in fact I'm not even sure I will switch unless the next patch fucks things up worse but every time I play Z it just feels like running up-hill, so I think I might play some T on the side at the very least.

I use 1 for my CC's(habit from bw), 2 for main army; 3 for 'special units' (ghosts/vikings/ravens/etc); 4 for techlab rax; 5 for reactor rax; 6 fact; 7 port; 8 is for reactor/techlab on a second port, if necessary; 9 for armory(s); and 0 for ebay(s).

I duno how good this is...only having 2 unit hotkeys; which I'm not a huge fan of but...1s to build scv's is such a difficult habit for me to break...lol

1 for MM
2 for ghost/tanks (tab-able)
3 for flying units
4 for rax
5 for facts
6 for starports
7 maybe CCs
8 CC
9 CC 2nd expo
0 CC main

usually ctrl+3 is for harass units. (vikings landing on min line, drops, hellions) early game
ctrl+8 for natural CC, I have this old BW habit.

ctrl+1 would be expendable units, ctrl+2 are caster or key units that could make or break your clashes.

yeah ctrl+4 rax seems reasonable, much faster clicking on M,A,R and G.
same with ctrl+5 as to T,E,S.

then of course the old school ctrl+0.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Really surprised to see so many people putting production buildings on different hotkeys. I was pretty sure lumping them all together is much more common among good players, although I don't spend too much time watching replays.

1 Scout/Harass Group/Air Units/Casters (i.e. units I need to pay attention to)
2 Army
3 Army
4 Army
5 CCs
6 Production Buildings

Production Buildings on 4 is probably better, but I got too used to having them on 6. I rarely use 4 for my army unless I'm 200/200.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.
