Of course the artwork and starcraft 2 name are "Licensed by blizzard," how else would Razer be allowed to use it? Again, it's still a RAZER keybord. It's not made by blizzard. You do not have the right to use all of the macro functions in game. RAZER advertises the macro abilities, not blizzard. Blizzard does not endorse the use of the macro functions. And back to the example of steelseries gaming mats... they are blizzard licensed too. They sport some awesome SC2 artwork. This does not make them the "Official starcraft 2 gaming mat" anymore than it makes razer's peripherals "Official Starcraft 2 peripherals." | ||

Usually, while controlling my Stalkers, I push "B" and press a location to use my Blink micro, I feel that's the best way to do it. Also, when I want to storm I select my Temps and press "T" on an area. This "storm micro technique" as I have dubbed it has been working out pretty well for me since 2007 | ||

Totally cheating, but super awesome. Wait. Autohotkey can do what?Although it would be totally bad ass for roaches to have auto cast burrowing. | ||

Apparently, it's hard to come by in this community. (Which I really didn't expect.) It really doesn't matter what buttons you re-bind, what macros you use, or what sort of bullshit scripts/bots you decide are worth utilizing. The bottom line is that you're not playing the game the way it is meant to be played by the vast majority of players, and thus any sort of win, or level (points) achieved is not worth shit. You're a cheater by definition, and what's worse, you don't SEE the problem with it. It's not about comfort, it's not about fixing a crap interface, it's not about an endorsed product, and it's not about what you can and cannot due with the limitations of the hard/software. It's about integrity, ethics and some freaking morality. Grow up, and play the game like it's mean to be played. | ||

Every community has a sheriff. There are bad people everywhere. | ||

To those saying it isn't cheating: Just because you are not hacking, doesn't mean you're not cheating. You can definitely do some complex macros that are almost as bad as hacking. So yeah, it's not the same as hacking, but it's still unfair and not permitted. | ||

Serious Business. Do you know what is not "fun"? What's not fun is losing to a player that has an unfair advantage over you. That's not fun at all. But you're ok with it... as long as you're the one with the advantage. Because you are having fun. To be perfectly honest with you it's EXACTLY the same thing as steroids. Anyone can get them, anyone can use them. Hell, they aren't even very hard to hide from testing. The point though, is that people who use them are cheating. Those who don't use them have integrity, those who do lack it. Period. | ||

All I want is to set a macro where I can just move my mouse across the enemy units with ghosts selected, and have all the units die, or have all the ghosts run out of energy before they die. If you know how to set it up using the Spectre, thanks! Also, lets keep this thread on topic, its about what macros we use, not if we can use them, which we can. Edit: I'm also trying to set up a macro where it says hello and GL HF at the start. When I use it , it takes about 8 seconds to type out with a even delay between each key stroke. How do I fix this? Edit: Yes I did have "ignore delay between events" checked off, am I missing something? Edit: I fixed the second problem with GL HF macro, nevermind. | ||

Also the steroids analogy only works for tournaments, where they aren't allowed anyway. | ||

To be perfectly honest with you it's EXACTLY the same thing as steroids Wow. Ease off on the MAD. Seriously. You aren't the Blizzard Balance Defense Force.Besides, using macros is more like football players using code words for known plays. If you pick the wrong strategy, or can't adapt to a changing field, you still lose. The only issue here is making sure everyone gets the same play book. | ||

But Macros are nowhere near using "code words." Macros allow you to perform an infinite number of actions instantly, assuming you know how to program them. It's not "code" for anything... | ||

The only issue here is making sure everyone gets the same play book. I loath cheating, and I despise unfair game play... I need no other reason than that to post in this thread. Back on topic: You're wrong... macro's are much more akin to people using weighted boxing gloves. By your logic, I'm picking an incorrect strategy by refusing to use outside help to play the game in a non-standard way? Sensible... None of these things will ever, ever be allowed in tournaments. Do you know why? Because they give the player using them and unfair advantage over a player who is not. These things are not a sign of the times. They are not gameplay advancements that will shape the future of how Starcraft is played. They are a crutch for the weak. They are used by those who cannot compete fairly and honestly. I promise you this, the professional scene will not tolerate these (or any other) types of macros/rebinds. Why hold yourself to anything but the most premium of standards? | ||
