sometimes if u do it with two scouts and run through their mineral line it kinda disrupts their mining but of course then the scout can be easily killed. | ||

Normally a user would shift move to scout, but wouldn't it be more effective and efficient if we used shift patrol? This would allow the unit to continue moving while we aren't looking at him. This allows us to complete other tasks. While reducing the likely hood of the unit being killed, while increasing the amount of information the unit is gathering. | ||

I really don't see the problem. you use your arrow keys to scroll? isnt it better just to double tap the control group you have set to your scout or nexus / cc / hatch? | ||

I never shift command a scout. You miss things too easily if you're shift commanding or patrol commanding a worker around an enemy base, and quite often your worker will die when you could have saved it if you had been on top of the micro. | ||

My hand stays over the "wasd" area of the keyboard since thats where most of the hotkeys built into sc2 are like "E" for probe or "S" for stalker I use the number keys right above that area for my most important control groups, (1-5) my other hand is always on the mouse (to the right of the keyboard) I figured the instant jump I get by double tapping the control group for my scout / nexus was the best way to go back and forth between your base and scout (or army, harassment squad ect..) I think I developed this from an early day9 daily during the beta. Is this just the "noob" way of doing it and there is another better way to lay everything out that I just dont know about? PLEASE TELL ME!!!! | ||
