With the expansion coming up and the increasingly amount of micro heavy units and spellcasters, I assume many of us who didn't use a reasonable number of hotkeys for units will have to make a change.

Do you think we will have to adapt? I didn't follow broodwar, but in sc2 army management was sort of done as a whole, as in you micro your units in blocks.

How are we gonna micro important spellcasters in the expansion? More hotkeys or more individual selecting?

I thought the old maps were bad why are they back?

Metalopolis was good in its time but now it's obsolete. XelNaga, Shakuras and Akilon are also old / bad ?

Or is it fine? :/

Scenario: I burrow a roach in the middle of the map and the Terran sieges his tanks in firing range and moves all his bio right on top of my burrowed roach.
1.What happens if I unburrow my roach? Will the terran units be pushed slightly aside during the unburrowing process or will my roach pop up at the edge of the bio-ball?
2. Does it make a difference if the burrowed Unit is a zergling?
3. Does it make a difference if the bio units are on hold position?
4. Will the sieged tanks fire on my roach/zergling before the bio units kill my roach/zergling (The bio units could one-shot the roach in my scenario)

- Is it possible to see a burrowed baneling or any other zerg unit if it is burrowed under creep? Are there settings that make it easier/harder to see burrowed units?

Unfortunately, my PC crashes when I want to open the unit tester, otherwise I would have tested this out for myself. Thanks for your answers!

Terrans, is there a concensus on weather or not to bind all our production facilities on one key, then use previous / next subgroup to switch between them. Or is it better to have seperate binds for rax, fact and port?

What do the pro's do? Or does it purely come down to a matter of preference?

Separate binds for each production building is the way to go. Cycling through just means more clicks and thusly more time. Not to mention you simply have more control with everything directly hotkeyd instead of having to tab through everything to get to where you want.

I'm an advocate of 1 Key and tab. Way easier imo and you don't need to worry about reaching or mis-clicking. You hit the same number of strokes with both methods btw. And you can always bind your hotkeys to match or at the very least, make tabbing super quick (using mouse keys/buttons make tabbing super quick).

the thing i dont like about multiple binds when im offracing terran is that i typically hotkey production on 4 (zerg main player, so hatcheries), CC/nexus on 5 if i'm terran or protoss, and 6+ feel too far away for something as important as production. and for me tabbing doesn't feel slow at all, in fact the muscle memory of single or double-tapping tab comes very smoothly after a few games

i guess 123 production and 4 army might be better for playing terran at high levels? or just having a custom keybind setup, which i dont believe in personally

anyway i believe the real answer to these questions is always whatever you're able to do fastest and most comfortably is the best way for you. there are zerg players who would tell me im hurting my play by putting army on 1 instead of hatcheries, but it feels perfect for me i also use location hotkey injects, which many people say are "too slow" compared to the backspace trick yet it's still the method used by many pros. it's comfort, for sure

5-tab-tab-D to build medivacs is two more than 7-D

5x, tab x, tab x. You've just cycled through barracks, factory, starport.

5x, 6x, 7x. You've just cycled through the same as above. Identical keystrokes. I do the same if I'm playing Protoss. And when I play my main race I aways put evo's in with my hatches, and later Den/IP (if nothing else helps me not forget about them).
