in another thread some guys postet a reaction statistic that showed Units under Patrol mode are shooting faster, f.e learned it by using a Banshee or 2 of them by arriving the harass spot with rally waypoint behind the mineral line where they beginn attack command, or they get microed.. since 2 banshees kill inefficiently fast the marines or probes you can split the damage.. so a phenomenom in sc was to rightclick focus fire a unit, while you begin splitting the army by boxes and let them engage via rally, Area off effect damage is by this way nullified, also you could retreat faster but you wont have to.. when the army is positioned well, you can hold down the position and switch the focus fire rate at the middle or the angles of the fight.. like you would shoot probes with 2 banshees if you kill tanks or banelings, the whole back of the army can be waiting with holdposition, by a selection box you can split them up freakin fast. | ||

Micro should improve a units effectiveness, not make them hard counter the unit that is supposed to hard counter them. Although this micro is very useful, it won't make mutas hard counter them at best soft counter them since most terrans wont let their thors get stranded probably supported by missle turrent or marines etc.Plus, terrans almost always go marine + tanks against zerg with a few thors.i dun think this is gamebreaking in my opinion | ||

Hopefully it's hard to execute correctly when facing 3+ thors. Moving magic boxed mutas AND switching targets while holding is probably not very easy. Nothing beats the hydra as the worst unit in the game currently even with this find.Thor is the worst unit in the game????. Please dun make me laugh. | ||

Mech already had very little AA and with this, Mass Mutas beats Mech unless the terran just goes Hellion Thor. Then Roaches demolish it. Its a big deal for Terran Mech | ||

Then Roaches demolish it. Its a big deal for Terran Mech Mech is like the worst composition to go against mutalisk+lings+blings since most of the zerg players go for it.Even more so due to the infestor nerf again albeit FG is still powerful overall. Rarely people go mech versus zerg due to not being mobile and also slow + little AA like you mentioned .Overall, they lack map control and just let zerg basically do anything. Meching is generally bad in the current meta game against zerg . Pretty stupid to continue complaining about it just have to wait for blizz to fix at HotS. You still got your standard Marines+Tanks.So use it instead -.- Doesn't terran have a lot of options? | ||

 I think of this as one of those little "micro tricks" that every player(zerg) should know. | ||
