It is at first, but it becomes a reflex after enough practice, It can help improve your win ratios (Spreading creep), I hold creep so highly in importance.

Rebinding the spot takes a second, ctrl + the mouse button (I prefer shift+ the mouse button)
Its just getting in the habit of always re binding it that takes practice.

A good system is to spread after you inject.
Why don't we see who is the wizard and play some one on one, I think you'll find me sympathetic to ya when I've won, It seems you've got the brawn to beat me if this was all it takes, But I've got skills to pay the bills and punish each of your mistakes.

Thank you. Spreading creep is the mechanic I wanna practice next week. Like mr.bitter wisely said: Ram it into your head by consciously doing it for a week. Hope it gets better fast by your method!

With this method I strongly think it will get better. It has for me.
But we all play by preference.

Most people would be against using extra mouse or keyboard buttons to play this game. The method your using seems pretty troublesome imo. Creepspreading is already pretty easy to maintain, most people just "forget" to do it rather than not doing it fast enough.

Most people would be against something obviously good and pretty intuitive/easy?

I use all 10 control groups and 2 screen saves almost every game.

1-5 army units, 6 nexuses, f1 robo, f2 stargate, mouse 4 harass units, mouse 5 scout units

u mad?

Edit: it's kinda worth noting that I use my screen saves very similarly to chef. I use f4 for proxy pylons and f5 for a pylon at the front of my territory (like the front of my nat or forward 3rd), for the purpose of warp gate usage.

I technically rebind my army hotkeys more than I actually recall them, I believe. Really not a problem or a thought at all, with a little practice.

do it the simple way and check the outer layers of your creep everytime you spawn (unless you're in a battle) it's not hard to do, it goes fast and it's way more hassle free than what OP suggested.

The point isn't that it's easier, but rather that it can save time, which could be better used elsewhere.
You are what you eat, You are what you think, You are what you do. Remember that.
