Unlimited select = 1 right click easy retreat anyway?
If your retreating you better know where to properly put your units to defend, making the CPU run away for you is NOT good for strategy.

Auto retreat lol. Who says the path that the retreat takes is the path you would want the units to retreat. If the enemy is between your units and your base it would screw you. And no I don't think that makes it more strategic, it makes it useless. What if there are two paths back to your base and half your units are slightly closer to the other path. Would your single group of units split up and take 2 paths back to your base? If there are fast and slow units would the fast units abandon the slow units and run back first? I don't see this as remotly viable. People don't always use their base on the minimap as the retreat point anyway. They retreat to whatever is the closest defendable position which is accessible at the time, be it an expo, a ramp or a main.

This is definitely a troll topic. Ababmer is another common troll living over at the SC2 b.net forums. As for the idea, I'll humor him (eventhough he's already been banned). It's already been mentioned by now im sure, you can just drag select your whole army and right click your base if you wanted to retreat in such a fashion. Personally I wouldn't trust the pathing to get all my units out safely and I would do a more controlled retreat, but the fact that you can do it makes this "function" needless fluff.

the necessity of a retreat function would be for people like me, people who suck, and imo since i suck i can save a hotkey and select all my units in the battle before hand. and get this, when the time comes i can hit the key and right click.
Nothing but a worthless waste of breath.

Uhmm....ya...sure...

Reason y everyone here calls u troll: U suggest stuff that are out of question. Suggesting that a drone can morph into a mothership is more realistic than what u say.

Srry dude, just never going to happen.

man this nub makes me throw my arms in the air and go wtf lol

but he's not alone, there's a lot of people just as ignorant as him out there who thinks speed is not important cus they can't be fast right off the bat. who doesn't know there's about a million details that are invisible to them

what works on these nubs is just to make them a simplified timeline of the evolution of starcraft: new<--slow<--slow strategy <--fast<--fast strategy<--macro<--adapation<--mindgames

and then they'll see what they're advocating is like 2nd place from the bottom and that we're waaay past that. next time you see a nub, show him that.

Dawn on war was a pretty boring game, and this strategic option didn't help.

Im honestly appalled by how lazy noobs are becoming lol

they dont even want to learn how to press '1' to control a ton of units

it's actually easier to be decent at sc than it is to be a noob, but theyre too focused on "I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW" point drag click drag click click

how about 1-0-0-click? take a damn second to learn, we were all noobs once and did what you are doing now but we LEARNED how to play, and didnt sit and cry because we sucked.

or read a book, I'm sure you havent tried that yet.

everyone that speaks against you makes perfect sense, because they overcame the challenge of being a noob or took the time to understand the mechanics of the game.

I dont know why im getting so worked up, blizzard would never listen to you anyways haha

Everything about skill level aside, hitting retreat and right clicking the minimap are the exact same motion. At the very most you have to select multiple control groups but that's only 5*click*6*click*7*click* or whatever. How would this make the game any better?

And, anyway, this is bad for gameplay. Full on retreat means getting(more) raped by lurkers.
