Just like CS though, binding keys. I hope this doesn't get nerfed or anything [Although i don't see any possible solutions right now] as It doesn't seem to be very game-breaking.
Infested Terran trick. By using mousewheel - Page 4

Nice find. It'll be interesting to see if it catches on. Don't really see why it wouldn't, since mouse wheels don't serve an important function in the game as-is. | ||

I think it's pretty standard stuff. If i want my mousewheel to click, the software makes it click. If I want to use that mouse in SC2, that's fine. There's no interaction with the SC2 software. I don't see how it would be an issue at LAN events, either, since ostensibly you're allowed to use whatever mouse you want, and you're given time to install relevant software/drivers. Nice find. It'll be interesting to see if it catches on. Don't really see why it wouldn't, since mouse wheels don't serve an important function in the game as-is. very few argues that its a hack, and those that argue its a cheat is because, while it is a 1:1 ratio (1 action with the wheel corresponds to 1 other action) it allows you to make actions 10-20 times faster than normal thus making it a 1:10 ratio in a way, and that is cheating. other examples: I use a razer naga, it has software that allows me to set whatever macro I want to any of its 17 buttons, right now I have buttons 1-10 set as hotkeys1-9 and 0, (which, by the way, is factory defaults) the left/right mouse buttons and wheel is set to standard, the last buttons are unused. I could set a macro that instantly injects all my hatcheries with larvae and then returns the screen exactly as it was when I clicked the button, but I don't and I won't, because that is cheating (in this case because its not a 1:1 ratio), regardless of whether the SC2 client can recognize that it is cheating it is still cheating. | ||

On the other hand, I would argue that switching liftoff from L to Q(or whatever that is more nearby) increases your speed at lifting off by being more accesible; not to a 1:1 rate. Disable that too? I find it very hard to argue this is a cheat/hack. I don't like what it is, but it doesn't seem to be unfair... | ||

But you can do this with the keyboard as I do, as well. If a key is set to Left Mouse Click, then you hold it down, exactly like Zerg holds down Z to make zerglings. Your argument that you can make a macro that clearly is not allowed to demonstrate that this 1 click = 1 action is cheating is pretty offbase. | ||

I think he refers to ghost emp. if I were blizz I would add a short timeframe (like 0.2 secs) between the snipe animation and actual damage, that way overkill would be a serious problem when using this trick since its very difficult to control how "much" you are spamming, if you spam too much you will just find yourself in a situation where you wasted 4-6 ghosts worth of snipes on a single ultralisk/broodlord. | ||

You don't waste snipes; snipe is instant, so no overkill. Also, the 0.2 timeframe doesn't help; It still makes people using this incredibly fast, the only thing it might do is hamper pro's. | ||

It's a buff to early ghost timing attacks since it's harder to get enough gas for ghosts + upgrades needed to support the ghost timing attack in the early game. However for w/e reason we haven't seen this much, MKP used to use them alot dunno if he still does. we will find out in his game vs genius I think he will.Anyways back to the point, I'd say by the time 3-3 is started researching most terran would definitely prefer ghost is gas heavier, because their army is already mineral heavy, marine all min, marauder 4:1 min gas ratio, ghost 2:1, viking 2:1. You need ghosts to counter ht which is 1:3 min to gas, and viking for collosus which is 3:2 min gas. So yes protoss is gas heavy, terran is not so making another unit more mineral heavy is not good for T(watch any tvp game past 20 minutes T gas starts stockpiling hard 2k+ even from the best terrans). So it's a buff for a specific timing, but a nerf in longer games since a protoss can actually make use of all the gas he mines whereas gas past 3 bases max(even then its overkill) is useless in current tvp meta for terran. | ||

How is this any different than backspace injecting? | ||
