It really doesnt matter what hotkey setup you use. What matters is how you practice it. Someone like Sziky would still destroy some if not most Grand Masters if they used the same hotkey setups on BW they use on SC2. | ||

Why do people suddenly want to change the core of a 15 years old game that was flawless? | ||

I don't see anything wrong with the current hotkeys since it's easier to remember(first or second letter for units). | ||

Someone like Sziky would still destroy some if not most Grand Masters if they used the same hotkey setups on BW they use on SC2. It would be better to compare two Szikys, one with regular hotkeys and one with changed hotkeys under the assumption that both have practiced an equal amount of time with respective hotkeys. I'd argue the latter Sziky would win in a match between the two. I personally wouldn't mind at all my opponents using different hotkeys on ladder, since it's just ladder, only tournaments could be a problem. | ||

It just adds another thing you have to think carefully about before you can start playing if you want to practice what you will end up using when you get better. The way it is by default, the hotkeys are the first or second letter of the unit you want to build, which is easier for new players to learn. For veteran players, it'll just be really annoying to have to retrain your muscle memory to a more optimal setup. The only person it appeals to is the person who doesn't like one or two hotkeys and wants to change them, but even for that person it won't be satisfying because now it will become standard to have to think about all sub-optimal hotkeys, including the ones you were okay with. It just feels like lose-lose all around for something that is totally meta. Having standardized controls for all users across all servers (even if different languages of StarCraft have different keys), makes things way easier. None of the keys are really obnoxious to hit, you will have to learn the muscle memory whether you remap the key or not, so you might as well learn keys you can use anywhere. I always hit P instead of O in tvp 200/200 battles  | ||
