This is really handy for sending groups of 20 lings to far away expansions. That was really time consuming before. I am experimenting to see if I can somehow make a new form of marine splitting / bane micro / any type of imba micro.

So far, the results of marine splitting have been ok but not better than normal micro. This is really good for splitting up groups of 10 marines into groups of 3 ish, but it isn't good for splitting up large numbers of marines.

I am quite sure i have seen scroll sniping used before. I think Morrow is the one who used it quite a bit

It's been mentioned a lot of times in the thread that this program does a 1:1 rebinding. For example, if you were to take the razer StarCraft II products, you could do exactly the same thing.

If anything here was banable, then anyone using a custom hotkey setup should also be banned.


how is this supposed to be a 1:1 rebind when you can reach 20k apm with it?

Some mouse allows one click on the scroll to be many. Windows setting in fact.

Scrolling is ridiculously much faster than clicking, even if you're Flash or something like that. It is a 1:1 rebind just you have it easier to reach a higher number with one of them.

I believe it was coLgoswser who told me about rebinding scroll to click several months ago. He said its also d useful to split of zerglings from the main group when getting dropped etc. Dont know if he still uses it nor if he uses it in tournaments.
this game is a fucking jokie

This is going to make ghosts much better against zealots. Some players (at least Thorzain) were already favoring spending their APM on sniping instead of kiting against chargelots. With this trick, they'll be able to get their snipes off quickly enough to snipe AND kite effectively. It's going to be broken.

That sounds like a good use. Hover over the first portrait when you have a ton of units selected and give the wheel a scroll and it should deselect a bunch of them while still leaving you with the rest selected.

Not really that useful because you can just unbox a bunch of them from your group just as easily though.
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

Yeah I experimented with this type of setting as well. For a bit more description if you set one of your mouse buttons to spam the left click repeatedly (similar to how holding down a keyboard button works) stuff like infested terran spam can be done more quickly. Probably most useful when you have some infestors deep in enemy territory that you want to launch a counter attack in the midst of another battle.

For terran it allows ghosts to instagib T3 zerg units

I am pretty sure command macros like that are illeagal in sc2.

They're against the Blizzard terms of use. All I know is that I'm definitely going to try this out with Ghosts.

I suggest anyone do does this micro first practice it with just the left mouse button so they get an idea of when it is appropriate to use shift and when to just hold the hotkey.



You really are doing the community a disservice by posting a guide like this. If this exploit can't be nerfed and isn't a bannable offense, it's really up to the honor of each individual player to refrain from using it given that it's undeniably imbalanced. If you use this trick to snipe or spawn IT then you are giving yourself an unfair advantage that wasn't intended by the game designers. You should be more concerned with improving as a player and playing fair games than getting wins through unfair methods.

Once something is out there you can't put it back in the box. Do you think we could just silence something like this to death and prevent people from knowing about it? (it will be our little secret *nods*) By publicizing it you equalize the playing field and raise awareness so that everyone can decide for themselves whether to use it.

Also, who are you to decide when something is 'undeniably imbalanced'? There are lots of tricks out there, why should this one not be allowed to use? If it is somehow broken then tournaments will simply ban it, no need to root it out beforehand.



It's not a matter of keeping a secret, it's a matter of not making it easier for everyone to do. Since it does in fact give the user an unfair advantage, it's wrong to distribute an easy method to the masses because you are increasing the number of people giving themselves an unfair advantage. Better for less people to know how to do it because then you have less people doing it.

The real point here is that the only people who will use this are those who are desperate to get wins on the ladder at all costs. Plain and simple you're modifying your race in a way that circumvents the intended game balance. And no I'm not unilaterally deciding what's imbalanced, I'm simply observing a simple fact. Anyone with a brain can look at those videos and recognize that it's imbalanced.

Because I'm a bit of a dick at times I have done this in FPS games. Makes your pistol pretty good - especially when you have a mouse with a scroll step release (no idea what they're really called) so the mouse wheel just spins freely like the G500.

Well, ghosts are too slow to kite, and regular mouse clicks are already quick enough to snipe templar. I don't think this will affect PvT much. It's much more devastating to Zerg.
