You are very bias with your assertion on this one. I explained well why HOTS-chrono is considered mechanically difficult to use very efficiently (most toss even at low masters do not use it properly) but way less punishing than inject to fuck up. Especially in the early-midgame. Inject isn't particularly hard, it's just something that you absolutely can't mess up since it gives 60% of your larvae. I've also said that WOL/HOTS chrono gets easier to use as you get later into the game while the current implementation of chrono gets substantially harder If you label it: "semi auto (current patch)" while the macro is fully auto, your polling will not reflect the current patch It's not fully auto, new chrono boost is more annoying to use than HOTS chrono when you're on 5 nexus. | ||

chrono has the same cooldown as inject, takes a similar amount of actions (on few bases) but lasts less time than the energy regen time so you have to put more effort into timing it and remembering the CD on multiple nexii if you want to keep it up with a high uptime %. It gets easier the more nexii you have and the later in the game you are, while inject becomes probably hardest in the midgame and the "new" chrono gets harder for every nexus that you add. Just saying it's not like inject is actually that difficult, it's only hard to inject because you're usually busy with 5 other things - and you have to stop whatever you're doing to inject, while that's not true for chrono because chrono boost isn't anywhere near that powerful. | ||

Why does it have one of these 3 options? why cant you just make the influence of these macromechaniks less important, so that its not too bad for someone to fuck them up and just concentrate on something else, but you still profit if you keep a good eye on it? and lets be honest, you cant really compare the 3 macromechaniks of each race... Muling and Chronoboosting is something way different than injecting! you can safe the energy and just use it later on with terran and protoss, and it doesnt require much skill. you could leave those two. Its basicly making the life easier for zergs, they have and should have the hardest macro mechanics, since they are the "macro race". whenever in the past i was asked why do i have to split so much with my marines and the zerg a moves and movecommands the banelings, i got the answer the zerg has the harder macro. with giving them the option of more micro with ravager and all that lotv crap,you could do a change inbetween. Zergs who dont inject are a little less punished if you do something like following: -Give the Hatchery an auto increase of 1 larva per 20 sec that comes without doing anything (and doesnt stop at 3 larvae) while reducing the injects of a queen by 1 larva | ||

So now there is no reason for Zerg to have hardest macro, if there ever was. | ||

In fact they are one of the hardest to micro units in the game, they need to be constantly spread out so they don't all die to 3 banelings, you have to slowly leapfrog them forward and also unburrow micro if he tries to defuse them with single zerglings. Pls don't post if you have no clue about the game. | ||

Pls don't post if you have no clue about the game. That is a zerg view on them, just like terrans had their view about banelings for years. I am sorry you don't like receiving what you have been giving for years. | ||

Simply since losing workers will be critical, then workers need to be more spread out so an attack on 1 base for example won't lead to 15+ worker death. | ||

LOL We are trying to focus on the concept here, if we want to add a specific detail for every concept then sure as hell everyone will vote for different things and the result will be more of a split. | ||
