Strongly considering trying to mimic the layout in The Core if the functionality exists for me to do so. I haven't played StarCraft in so long that I think I could probably make the switch and be better off for it in the long term. 100 YEARS BROOD WAR! BROOD WAR 100 YEARS! BROOD WAR EVERY DAY 100 YEARS BROOD WAR! | ||

In fact the majority may even feel a little of pride to be the part of the "elite" scene. Even with the smallest of the contributions, any of us can probably point on some brick in this wall and say "this one is mine". And as a result now we have perhaps first ever competitively played game that broke out of the race between game designers and hardware manufacturers. The game of triumph of game design and playability over just "looking good". The chess of computer age, and yes I am glad that you called me elitist, thank you. | ||

Open to talking about it over discord if you want to experiment and exchange ideas. | ||

As for remapping options(Z), I probably stick to original keys in general, with the exceptions of Burrow, Patrol and Plague and perhaps Overlord(not sure with that one). I would also like to make scourges with letter other than S, for obvious reasons. | ||

Things that you must do: - Learn to play the game! Once upon a time I think in gosugamers site I saw in forum topic "WoT is hard" and the topic poster complained how hard it was... Total Bull$hits! You only play with 3 keys and 1 mouse. When you do nothing and then suicide - yes it is hard! It is hard for your team to watch you! Learning the game is what separates noobs from pros. That is the beauty of the game! Now days games are made for more stupid and lazy peoples. Some of them don't want to try something new. They don't wanna learn something new. Because is hard... It is hard for them to use their brains... Hey this game is 19 years old! Have you ever heard for other game that is 19 years old and there are still tournaments? This game is almost perfect. Learn it the way it is! You will never regret! | ||

I've gotten used to BW's hotkeys and will probably stick to them as well. I play Protoss on a german BW version, so using S isn't all that bad either :p but there sure are some annoying hotkeys that sometimes make you mess up in situations (like not hitting the U when you need to storm in a split second) | ||

Resetting rally points is extremely easy. I don't know why people keep bringing it up. You can do it slow, you can do it fast, if something goes wrong, you just keep going and it's fine. There is no interference from the enemy. All you need is to keep actions in sync. And you can just do it slow enough so you keep in sync. MBS is a dead debate. It was obvious who was going to be right when the debate first started. Now, we know the exact outcome. And now we know about the deception of the side that now obviously was wrong. | ||

Automining and MBS Im'not gonna argue about the automine/MBS thing, but new players have already been brought just from the announcement, just look at this thread, most people are new. | ||

Modifying keys is a shortcut, you'll take less time to master the 'keyboard-bashing' part of the game, but it the long run it doesn't help you much. PS. I started changing the hotkeys when the TvZ meta changed and zergs got good at rushing to hive to get defilers/swarm so I tried toss but producing probes by hitting "P" was infuriating. I couldn't work on putting my nexus at 0&9 so I decided to modify it and picked "E" for probe. Then I decided to optimize the rest of the hotkeys. | ||
