Hey, I'm not sure but I've always envisionned this as some sort of warm-up, like being ready to use their insane apm when it's needed (and that's why lots of player have like 300+ APM early because they do and undo and redo their control groups).

Makes it so you can't press the wrong hotkey.

Product of a very boring first minute of the game I suppose. Looking for any conceivable thing of value to do.

'10 hotkeys of CC is marginally better than 1 hotkey so why not' I guess is the logic. When you got nothing better to worry about while you slowly produce 5 workers (in BW).

This is a pretty good start : http://www.allthingszerg.com/
The openers are still good but the follow up responses are kinda outdated for some of them
Should still 3.30 ovi scout and then know that the main composition is hydra ling bane vs protoss and terran

Cool, exactly what I was looking for - thanks very much. Really surprised by how much fun I have playing again, perhaps even more than at release.

If a building that has a queue of several units being produced gets destroyed, does the player get the money for those units back?

Injects only produce 3 larvaes instead of 4
On the other hand you can queue them (as in you don't need to wait for an inject to be over to be able to inject again, it will just queue up right after the current one)
That means getting a macro hatch around the same time as your 4th is very common now.

Woah. Thank you. Can you queue more than one additional inject?

It seems that it reduces macro skill a bit... was this the intention?

Are there any good PvZ openers that don't involve stargate, or do you just have to get stargate in this LotV meta always?

1- Yes, as many as you want, and from as many queens as you want.
2- In a way yes, one of the main goals was to reduce the drawback of forgetting injects mid-late game.

Better ask to the Protoss directly, you're more likely to have specific answers:
