I'm at school and can't test this out right now, so I thought it would take over as the mouse button. Good to know! Also, I read on the reddit topic that this was actually not very helpful because shift queuing messes with the AI and it's not that helpful. True? | ||

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. Oh wow, I didn't even think of feedback. Yeah this shit is kind of broken for every race | ||

It took skill to duck jump with key tapping and took no skill with mouse wheel. Given that Blizzard is actively patching SC2, there should be a way for them to control this as compared to CS 1.6 where tournaments had to put in these rules since Valve was no longer supporting CS 1.6. On the one hand it's always cool for a game to have little tricks like this that add layers of depth and up the skill ceiling, but on the other hand if it really affects balance it may not be worth it. I think it's hard to tell where this falls, but at first glance it seems like it's the latter and should be addressed by Blizzard. Edit: I see you're not referring to duck, but to jump. Yes you are correct, binding mousewheel to jump was always legal. The reason is that this did not have as big of an impact on gameplay ever since the bunnyhop nerf patch in 1.6. Also the sound of a player jumping is not affected as it is with crouch hopping/duck jumping. The point here is simply that there is a precedent for esports tournaments to disallow binding certain keys to mousewheel. | ||

If your goal is to feedback everything with energy, you will only feedback as much as you can. Only time I can see it being wasteful is early on when you only have a few HT's and they only have medivacs. But against thor/banshee/raven/ghosts...shit is broken. | ||

This scroll clicking does not really work for feedback unless someone can make a video proving me wrong... | ||

Yes, but in that case, a bug in the engine could be exploited only in that manner. If Blizzard deems the exceedingly high apm this method permits a bug, then this will be illegal. If it is deemed a trick in the engine, it should not. | ||
