clearly lurkling micro
no idea if u noticed, u have to control 2 different types of units instead of one to pull this off. Kind of self-explanatory.
it is real hard to excel at. I guess it takes playing zerg to know this. You can learn muta vs scourge micro relatively easy. And its almost impossible to go vs mass mnm using lurkerling. Terran can never even perfectly micro those 4-5 control groups of marines, they still annihilate lurkling. So lurkling is that much harder.

I didn't see this on the poll, but I find 4 drones + hatchery vs mineral patches hard to micro.

Hydras vs zeal/goon+temp is easily the hardest, because it is wholly dependant on outpredicting the P and successfully dodging the storms. Human obstacles are much harder to face than just mechanics obstacles. I guess m&m vs toss ground+storm would be similar, except m&m have 0 margin of error and will likely get raped no matter how well you micro.

If just pure mechanical, m&m vs lurk and muta/wraith vs scourge are both really really hard.

M&M is pretty tough. After a while it just gets annoying controlling 4-5 groups of m&m against lategame zerg

I hate shuttle micro... I always move my shuttle too far up and get it zapped. Or it's too far behind my army and my reavers don't do enough damage. Ugh.

I'm not so great at lurker/ling either...

I find MnM micro quite easy. TBH I think I have really good infantry control, whether it's dodging lurk spines, sunk breaks, DS, or marine dancing vs zerglings. For hardest I would have to say lurkerling. I'm so bad with attacking with lurkerling when I play zerg, I try to keep my lurks all hotkeyed seperatly so I can "u" to make them burrow fast, but I always find half of my lurks end up burrowing away from the battle and only half my units go in, get slaughtered, then he comes and kills my remaining lurkerling. Or sometimes I accidently group a ling or something with the lurkers and don't manage to burrow any at all >_<

marine & medic micro, no doubt about that. i just don't understand, how the pros kill lurkers with their mnm with so less casualties... i'm no terran player so i suck big time at controlling mnm groups, but when i try to engage some lurkers, i always lose most of my units -.-

imo these are the on of the most impressive moments of starcraft, when you see a pro killing lurks with mnm without losing much of them.

Btw where is Reaver micro? It's one of the hardest micro, and it often decides who will win the game. PvP PvT and PvZ all apply.

edit- Reaver/Shuttle micro, obv.

I think the difficulty for MM micro is definitely situational. In the beginning stages, the micro is not too demanding. However, when you've got to micro 5 control groups of units against dark swarm, irradiating lurkers, defilers, unsiege, siege, stim. The sheer number of things to micromanage becomes immensely difficult.
Do your best, God will do the rest.

m&m micro
sometimes in shit situation, if you move the medics, they won't heal the marines, but if you attackmove the medics, they will proceed to heal the marines and get in the way => no escape
do not agrue with idiots, they will pull you down to their level and beat you with their experiences
