EPTI like that that using this makes you "work" more instead of just going 4sdddddddddddddd, you have alot of control of your rally points and there is no time wasted on a drone/unit coming from a very far hatch. Im alot more focused and i get a nice apm boost <3.

I just scroll on the minimap between hatches and manually select my queen then inject. T_T scrolling is bad tho... x.x do you use any other methods to navigate around the bases while you inject other than scrolling? | ||

I feel like 55v66v77v is in theory best, but since it's so incomfortable I stick with backspace inject. | ||

Making injects and building units five times harder than it should be, is so anti-bw philosophy. | ||

You could simply use the camera key and click on the hatch if you want to use those specific larvae. That would free you up some control groups and speed up your production, but whatever floats your boat, I guess. | ||

thinking of switching because im finding that since im using all 10 hotkeys i'm starting to need more room for different hotkeys, so idunno. I have 5 hatch buttons (one of them being select all) and 5 misc ones (such as army or creep queen) I'm wanting to hotkey evos etc etc so I'm not sure what to do. I think the best way of doing it is having a mental timer of 40 ingame seconds to camera back to your bases to inject along with hardcore, to minimize hotkeys needed with the same amount of efficiency | ||

Man this just looks odd. For instance im assuming that you use your middle finger to double click the 5, then you index finger to click the V. but as you get further and further away from 5 this becomes harder and harder due to the angle. For reference, i do something that i find to be far more comfortable how ever no one uses this fingering. 11v22v33v44v Ring for 1 and 2, Middle for 3, and 4. and i almost forgot i switched the queen inject to F. So really more like 11f22f33f44f. Btw Do people who use the 55v66v77v method, move around the map via hotkeys? I mean my queen hotkeys aren't only useful for injecting, i also use them to flip my screen to my bases quickly. And unlike the base camera i can go direct to a particular base. there i rarely have to click on the minimap to look at anything on my side of the map because of this. This is also the main reason i struggle to play Terran or Toss (as well as i play Zerg), because i feel i don't really have as much "camera mobility" Thanks | ||

Why not change the 'v' key to 'u', or similar, that would be far easier to press. Or put it on a mouse button. When people say the 'backspace' method we don't literally mean everyone should use the backspace key to cycle base cameras, and when people say the "55v66v77v88v" method what they really mean is they individually hotkey queens to inject and navigate. It doesn't mean those hotkeys are set in stone. These inject threads frustrate me, because people insist on using whatever old crappy inject method they use anyway regardless of evidence that indicates there are superior methods. And then they tell everyone of how "good" their method is because they did something REVOLUTIONARY like *gasp* changing the hotkeys. It gets a bit tiresome  | ||

You can always change the V key to something else (say W since you hardly play protoss right ? :D) So that your hand can type them faster. 66w77w88w99w is perfect for me  Edit : fuk didn't read the last post. I apologize. | ||

i do 5 for main hatch and 6 for all other hatches, so that i can get back to my main with 55 which is where most of my buildings are, and i use 6 to do the upgrades like burrow, overlord speed, extra queens. thisis to make sure that my main hatch(5) is not doing anything so i can get it to lair/ hive anytime i wan without cancelling stuff =) | ||

I really don't see the major issue with using either 55v66v77v, hardcore or backspace, but I will however say, that from my own experience, I've used all the methods, or atleast tried at the skill level of which I am capable of, but the Hardcore method seems not to be very freindly to players who is not aware of the general timings of injects and doesn't have the apm to actually support doing all of that on your own while controlling your army. Maybe this is just me, iunno, but for lower league, or low APM players, i find backspace / 55v66v77v more usefull, just due to the amount of APM and focus it takes compared to hardcore method. Other than that, great initiative on making the thread ^_^ | ||

I mean I just assume that if I want a hatch injected, I have to have a queen for it. No, you can't inject hatches where you don't have queens, obviously. Darkgrid lets you control this since you're only jumping between bases where you have queens, while the backspace method just says "screw you" and makes you try to inject them even if you can't, leading to the "stop" issues. | ||
