Holding ALT during a battle was standard for years in WC3 (many pros kept this method even after "all health bar" shenanigans were allowed). Just takes practice, like everything else.


this

I held alt in war3 for so long that it's become a habit in every game i play... i dont even notice it.. if your hand is resting in the standard spot for your keyboard, your thumb should be able to hit it and hold it no problem

pffft I think its best to play sc2 without health bars (or I do anyway), and use alt when I want to know. But why you are writing it here is weird as this is not blizzard


That's right, real men guess the weakest units in a micro battle!

here's a genius idea.

health bar turn on always. as i dont know how you can play sc2 without seeing health/building/energy bars. but instead of default alt turning off all bars, make it show only energy bars so it's easier to spot where the energy units are in a big fight.

will help greatly for single target spells like feedback

Solution:

rig up a device to hold down the alt key.
like a mini rat trap.

hmm, while I thought that it's a good idea to have them on when microing blink stalkers, I find health bars are really annoying when trying to micro so I just relying on looking at what units are taking the most hits/scroll over to see red hp and move them back accordingly. Having said that, I do agree that you should be able to toggle them off and on when needed without holding down alt
