no one seems to understand my question; i already know that hold is faster than an attack command..

but isn't attack move + clicking on an enemy unit considered the same as right clicking on the enemy unit?

and if so, isn't that much safer so you don't mismicro too close to the enemy?


The problem with that is that the mutas will slowdown to attack whatever is closest to it (Assuming if you missed the click)

And if the mutas slow down, they have to speed up to get the hell out of there. There lies you problem.

With right click, even if you miss, you mutas are going at full speed, so you can change directions and gtfo quicker. When you're attack + clicking, a miss click is going to slow down you mutas.

At least that's why I think attack+click is worse.

Also, if you are trying to target fire SCV's or something and you have even 1 marine shooting at your mutas, they will stop and attack that marine specifically. Hold position works in this case because your mutas don't slow down, and they will still shoot that SCV if it is infront of them, rather than a single marine shooting at your mutas to the side of them. In some cases, attack-move works, yes, but it doesn't really give you anything hold position doesn't. You can't misclick with hold position either.

Whhaaa? I thought you only use hold for attack if you have a lot of muta.... Because they will attack all different targets. You use attack click when you want to force them to attack one target because you only have like 6 muta or something and you want a one hit kill. I'm good at muta micro, but I have no idea why someone would favour hold position micro unless they had 10 or 11 against some marines. In any other situation (like against scvs) it's just terrible.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!

could someone explain to me whether it is proper when focus firing to move behind the unit you are aiming at or whether in front works just as well..the problem is that in front you may slow down before you reach that spot... should i practice clicking behind the unit? it seems more difficult to do at times. Anyways i was curious if there are any disadvantages /advantages to either way.

in case that was unclear I am questioning whether the move command before the right click target command should be between the enemy and you or behind the enemy ; regardless the turn needs to come immediately after the fire order; i just get random slow downs when aiming in front of the enemy because when you near the end of your movement in a move command your mutas slow down
