This seems to be a pretty good anti mothership technique. Now we surround the vortex with 80 infested terran really quickly.

The problem with that is, that if Blizzard puts a higher cooldown on snipe, every terran will HAVE TO use that scroll method in order to still use snipe. Someone who doesnt use this method will have kinda useless ghosts if they get a higher cooldown.

Maybe it isn't a hack legally. But it has the same effect as a hack. It will totally break the game. Just banning it from tourneys would also suck because you can't just abandon any kind of online play such as ladder, weekly cups, online qualifiers, etc..

not necessarily.
if they nerf the cooldown to a speed that only the fastest click spamming could accomodate, it would be a level playing field

The amount of people who think a CD on snipe will resolve the problem is hilarious.

Ghosts are already amazing, now BLs are a non-issue, and so are Ultras.


This is a classic example of an overgenerlization. The ghosts do not receive more energy from using this method, and may even waste snipes using this method as the snipes occur ALL AT ONCE.

In the video, 5 ghosts were used to snipe the ultralisk but this was the perfect amount TO KILL the ultralisk. The usual method would not waste any snipes. The adjusted method would waste snipe energy and so you would still have to micro the right amount of ghosts using this method.

This is a classic example of not knowing what your talking about. This way doesn't waste any snipes, you don't have to micro it right. Even with scroll wheel they are not cast all at once, they are just cast quickly one after the other. As soon as the unit being sniped dies, ghosts aren't using extra energy. For example, if you have 20 ghosts and scroll wheel snipe an ultra its not like 20 snipes or 40 snipes or whatever will just happen, the number that will happen is the exact number needed to kill everything you spam scroll wheel on.


I believe you misunderstand him. It takes 11 snipes to do 495 damage vs an ultralisk. That means the 12th snipe has 40 wasted damage. It is best to just let the ghost attack once rather than use that last snipe.


You can't do that without breaking the shift queue, since fast-snipe requires the ghosts to be on hold-fire mode. If not, an attack command gets in the queue and you have to click manually again.

Out of 11 ghosts, one snipe lost per ultralisk is a small price to pay to kill every single one of them before they actually reach your army.

You also forget that Marauders or Tanks or Marines are likely to be shooting at the Ultra, dealing those 45 points of damage anyway.

So then every gold player would have the same speed by scrolling his wheel as the pro who trains weeks and months and years to get the fastest possible sniping? Doesn't sound fair to me. If this stays legal/allowed/whatever, everyone will use it in order to have an equal playing field. And that sucks because you shouldn't require third party programs and some weird game settings in order to play the game.

For Christ's sake: Scroll jumping was never banned in CS! Duck jumping was a bug in the game engine, which was also later exploited to be able to jump from any height and take no damage. You didn't need to scroll to do it, you could do it by tapping too.

Other uses(?): Mineral stacking, just bind the up key to right click
Worker harass: If you drop zealots into a mineral line, you can quickly shift click all the scvs to prevent the zealots from wandering away to nearby queens, spines, marines etc
Gravitron Beam
Queuing attack move commands or patrol movements (I find this an easier way than using the minimap and mouse scrolling about the screen)

I just tried this in a unit tester map, and then checked the replay. 3 - 8 000 apm as I spam up Infested Terrans. It's just not humanly possible to do without this thing, and I consider it a cheat for sure. As such, I won't use it.

Same thing for snipe really. When I face Terrans in the lategame I usually Transfuse my Broodlords, now it'll be almost impossible to do versus someone who uses this. >_>

I also tried with Feedback vs my friend stacking up Banshees, just for fun. 200/200 Banshee disappeared in a matter of seconds. We had a good laugh about it, but still, I consider it cheating to use on the ladder etc.

There´s nothing to see here except more Zergs talking about how terran is Overpowered ... This is not game-breaking and probably lots of players already use it ..

As for the Zerg i have one thing to say , if you say Terran is Overpowered is SC2 , in BW terran is mega-mega-mega overpowered right? tanks with crazy range , a only mineral unit that as 3 free mines and a Raven that is actually usefull ?

Zergs all call this unbalanced when they can also send like 50 infested terran instant and do 20k apm...

They should also nerf the human brain so players dont think when they play

I'm masters terran and I consider this totally game breaking. It should be considered cheating.

No one was seriously talking about terran balance until you came in.

I play terran and I consider that this cheat (because 8000 APM isn't normal) favours the Terran the most.

No it will not. The scroll will simple work as a extra key.

since you can't do this in-game without some third party software, it is obviously an unintended consequence and exploitative
