I made a video about a frustrating issue that Zerg players suffer from. I think it is something you should know as a beginner Zerg player. I have also posted on the reddit/blizzard forums. I hope you enjoy the video.

I live in Russia. I wear the fufaika, valenoks and the shapka-ushanka with the red star. I drink vodka straight from the samovar, and my riding bear plays on the balalaika.

The second problem that was addressed have been around though, in that you can't be using an "action" with your mouse and using hotkeys on your keyboard.

For the first problem, I believe I had the same problem when I first started playing too, but I've gotten into the habit of pressing the unit hotkey twice after selecting the larva. Of course, you may not want to do that but it's definitely not a new issue. I've noticed Korean pros not really suffering from that, so it may also be a timing thing.

????

I dont really understand the problem. You just go 6sh7sh8sh9sh in that order, not at the same time, not pressing buttons at the same time. The delay you talk about is normal for SC for all races, and you can practice to do it right.

EDIT: ok i understand what you mean, but considering you always macro with 1 hand you'll always be able to produce units.
EDIT2: As playing zerg for 15+ years, I realize that whenever I macro with zerg, I 99% of time go: 5shh6shh7shh8shh - this fixes it;) Of course, if you still do it with 1 hand you never have that problem. For 2 hands you do as described here.

Dunno why Zerg should have this extra nerf of having to put in more mechanics ontop if it.

So this is why playing with lag is SUPER annoying for zerg. Like you mentioned in the video about how you have to "slow down" is what's really frustrating, but that's just how the game plays and I personally don't believe it needs to be fixed by any means. The only thing that needs to be solved is the inconsistent TR issue everyone seems to have. When the game has a good flow of speed my brain seems to be working with everything, but the sec my hotkeys don't register it feels like my brain just turns off and gets fogged by anger. xD Thanks for the video though my dude!
How we will win in the period ahead.

Because we can queue 3 eggs at once for each key chord.

people saying it shouldnt be fixed cant be serious... having keys not registering because you dont respect 1998 hardware limitation standard is the most annoying thing. Especially for zergs who have to macro blindly since hatcheries are spreaded all over the map. It's unacceptable and should be fixed asap.
