however i think focus might shift from early/mid to late game. Especially in a late stage were you have many bases, big armys, perhaps some harass going on (attacking and/or defending) it might take some time to create 20 or more banelings for a timed atack on an enemys base while his army is engaded/distracted etc. So here is the important part of my comment: Why not make both possible? Keep the smart cast as the normal way and for those certain situations were it would be saving a few seconds (even fast fingers take way longer to press a single button 20 times instead of a single hotkey once) use a different hotkey or perhaps a kombination of a key added with the original hotkey (like ctrl + original hotkey for smart casting morphing single zerglings into banelings). I usually dont post anything regarding the game because a) it isnt out here so everything that might seem imbalanced might be due to a one sided view on that specific area and b) i really trust blizzard... they put way more thought into their games then other companys and if they say it will be balanced well then it will be balanced well. This topic however was one were i could really picture the difference in my mind. And anyone can try to push a single hotkey 20 times as fast as possible with one finger. But i agree with the smart cast, because only wanting a specific ammount of banelings for a bunker out of a group of zerglings will be faster with the smart casting system. I hope my post could help and i would love some response from Blizzard just to get confirmation that my suggestion was at least considered, only that i know they saw/read it. | ||

No offense man, but how can you not understand that simple argument? If you decide you only need, for example 6 banelings, and you're controlling 24 zerglings who are moving towards the enemy base (very fast and hard to select), do you really want to manually select 6 banelings and morph them? And also, I think that "I-don't-have-very-much-vespene-gas-at-the-moment"-argument is good enough  And I'm pretty sure they will make it possible to morph all units selected while pressing CTRL for example (as others on this thread have mentioned). Otherwise it would be very stupid. | ||
