why use something that makes the game "easier", it's easy enough as it is

Okay , someone should PM explain to me how this is right and making macros on your keyboard is wrong.
Actually, don't do that i don't care , they both take no skill and i am strictly against them, please don't abuse
this, if Blizzard wanted us to use scroll wheel as a hotkey they would've made it possible like in CounterStrike.


A macro is a feature that allows you to submit multiple actions with one click of a single button.
Like i can do A-B-C-D-E-F with a macro.

Scrolling is one-action-a-time. Every step you scroll, is just one scroll, one mouse click.
So if I scroll once I get A.
If I scroll for longer periods I get AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

If I click the button A once, I get A.
If I hold the button A, I get AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Rebinding the scroll wheel from zoom, to left mouse button still issues one action at a time.
I dont get how you can compare it to a macro, which is a multiple action holder.

Bro , didn't i just say that i didn't care, what's wrong with you and your dumb mouse scroll wheel.Just use the newbie trick and keep sucking at Starcraft2.It doesn't take any skill ,you're not even clever if you use,it you are just a noob. Just as i said in my previous comment if Blizzard wanted us to use mouse scroll wheel they would've fuckin let us in the hotkey options, so ignorant ...lol

I think that you just proved that you are the ignorant one. He explained clearly why this is different than a keyboard macro. For you, it went in one ear, out the other, then you demonstrated to the TL community that you have the intelligence and composure of an angry 12 year old. You just probably don't know how to use this rebind so you attack those that do, even though the difference it makes in gameplay is pretty minute.

I love how everyone complains that this trick makes the game easier, as if mashing your Mouse 1 key indiscriminately and without any concern for accuracy, a movement so gross that any player not being able to do it at roughly the same speed as MVP or Nestea would be a sign of neurological dysfunction, has anything to do whatsoever with Starcraft skill.

A better question is whether or not infested terrans are too strong if significantly more can hatch at the same speed.

Hey guys!

For any of you using a mac, the programm 'USB Overdrive' provides the function to set the mouse wheel to click (or even triple click).

Cheers

I dont know if its technically legal or not, but i feel like tricks such as these lower the skill level of SC2. When the game was first coming out, players were worried that it wouldnt match up to BW because of the easy macro (hotkeyable production buildings, automining) and i feel like this is just another trick that is making the game easier and lowering the skill cap of Starcraft 2.
This is difficult for me to say but I feel I must..the sixth sheik's sixth sheep's sick.

I understand what you're saying ,but if we overlook every trick that people can abuse in this game it's going to become a problem. It all adds up and suddenly some guy that has all the cool drivers and peripherals will have a distinct advantage over others.


Perhaps, but not in this case. Drivers and such offers only a limited array of benefits, like hotkey rebindings, in order to interact more smoothly with the game. It can't give you benefits which doesn't require the clicks that actually go into it. Say, you can't have a driver making your marines spread automatically, or your roaches making a concave. Neither will drivers ping your minimap when enemies are in vision, or maintain continuous SCV production. That would require a hack. The advantages skilled players have due to superior control and awareness just can't be bought through things as simple as hotkey rebindings or equipment. A plat player is a plat player no matter how much cool stuff he has.


Technically, you could set up a driver for constant worker production, by having a macro which repeats every however many seconds. This is, however, against the ToS. Not that I do this, (I don't), but a macro could trigger a control group and issue the command to make a worker. Then when you have enough workers, simply change what is bound in that control group so something like a supply depot, so it would effectively be 'turned off'. This is pretty bad as you will no doubt be in the middle of doing other things when this triggers, but technically, it is possible.


And you could do this without interacting with the game files? You may be right, and I don't see how blizzard can punish this sort of thing. Is it considered illegal by blizzard?


You can do it without interacting with game files. It is considered illegal by Blizzard, since it's more than one action per click. It's a macro that any 'macro-able' keyboard is capable of, including the Razer Marauder endorsed by Blizzard. However, I believe I've read that their endorsement of the keyboard itself does not mean they permit all of its functionality (macros that violate one click = one action) to be used on Battle.net.

Is there a program that mac users can download? I thought my razer could rebind my scroll wheel to left click but that isnt the ccase.

To do this do you have to set scroll sensitivity very high? I tried it a few times in unit test maps and it doesn't seem to really go very quickly by just scrolling up and down.

Or you could buy a Logitech G500 mouse. This kind of mouse has a scroll wheel button that takes the resistance or clicks off the wheel and lets it spin freely with close to no friction.

lol so clikcing one button over and over as fast as possible ("normal" infester terran use) with no thought input = skill now?

It's LITTERALLY a contest of "button mashing."
