That won't change the fact that it's still a bad idea to stick everything in one control group. They just made the game easier for the newbies.

I would say that more than 50% of pro gamers dont use more than 1 control group for army before 15min mark. From what i seen koreans even do this more than forgeiners.
And that easier "bad" style got a buff.

It was buggy to begin with, as I had heard it would actually select queens as well for Zerg, so basically you'd pull half your production with you across the map. I am sure you can disable it in preferences though.

Even if it would leave queens out, it's literally just a newbie feature. Any decent player will almost always have a drop, or a small amount of units for a counter/runby etc. pp.
No need to disable it, just like the worker thingie it has a hotkey. By default it's F2, so since I, and a lot of others, use F1-F4 for camera locations you won't even be able to use it anyways, plus as you said it's just so newbies don't have to use control groups.

I am against it as well, less because of the newbieness of it and more because I don't think that it adds anything to the game.

This change only affects casual players. Any legitimate high level player will have almost 0 use for that button.

Guys, this is Heart of the Swarm. There is a single player campaign planned and you'll need to control a shit ton of units that will spawn like every seconds or so :D :D This feature may be useful there instead of wasting time to group everything, everytime.
It will be useless in multi for most people, no need to debate about this.

The button actually might be handy for some situations, like very late when you have units all over the map and you want to use all your units. So it also selects for example 6 ultra's in your nydus that you had totally forgotten about.

Pretty sure you're absolutely wrong about this. Maybe the 5 minute mark and even then, probably not.

Well, Stephano literally uses 1 hotkey for his army.

And it will still be bad, and give disadvantages to people when they have to multitask, and when they meet a good harasser and multitasker. It is useless for Terran players, since Terran is all about drops and harass and good positioning, it is also useless for Zerg since it also select Queens(don't quote me on this, that is what I've heard). It is maybe useful for Protoss players in the mid game, but in the later stages Protoss has to micro and have to attack at few places at the same time, at least vs. Zerg players.
Seriously, I don't see this feature bringing any advantage.

That is because Stephano is microing his army without hotkeys.

for players which are playing without army hotkeys its so anoying sometimes to separate the army from my workerline if i got banshee harrassed or something like that. Tell me about strg shif click or strg +1 or so on, But for me i like this little features and if you are that PRO like it sounds you wont use that feature anyway, right ? ;D

Localhost technically means you're sending shit to your yourself, so I imagine it could just be some form of singleplayer.... crossing my fingers for lan though ><
