From what i've seen there is a left handed version for both standard and Grid, but im mainly concerned about the right hand.
So standard seems to be the default that we have all been playing with. Grid seems to create a 5x5 grid that is a button for everything on the bottom right. this 5x5 grid is customizable for any set of buttons but the defaults are "qwert, asdfg, zxcvb" Specific keys aren't customizable for instance changing "e" for probes to "z" or something. Although maybe the classic puts probes back to "p".
My question to everyone: what will you use and why?
Also what do you think the pros/majority will use and why?
|
standard for me. I get used to everything.
Pros will use what is allowed in leagues, if everything is allowed, I'd guess most will use standard!
|
I like the way they have it already, no more reaching across the keyboard lol

Ive noticed that you can CTRL+F5 - F6 - F7 - F8 to "save" screen locations, and obviously recall by pushing F5 - F6 - F7 - F8..
Is this a new feature from the Patch 9 ?

you mean everything being fully customizable? no they don't
its grid vs. standard and other keys that can be changed but nothing relating to gameplay, other then saving hotgroups Control + etc.
|
im already used to standard i see no reason to change now
|
for all the new players, it would easier to have them use grid, instead of memorizing all keys. wondering if we take the time to adapt, if it'll be more effective?

I think grid is better for random players too.
|
Unless grid is your thing, it's not that much of an advantage. The standard is pretty intuitive, and is easily accessible with the left hand. Even if you play random, after 2 or 3 games with each race you should be familiar with the hotkeys.
|
Grid would have been a nice advantage in BW but with everything on the left side now it really doesn't make a difference.

I wanted to change to grid, but thinking of it, I don't know where what is on the grid, and the standard keys are pretty good.
|
I prefer my own custom grid, much more convenient than the standard grid:
Make Buildings:
Q = Basic Building
W = Advanced Buildings
QQ = Make Supply Depot
QW = Make Barrack
QE = Make Refinery
WQ = Make Factory
WW = Make Star Port
Make Units from Barracks
Q=Marine
W=Marauder
E=Reaper
R=Ghost
CommandCenter
Q=Make SCV
W=Call down Mule
E=Scan
Unit Abilities for Ghost
Q=Snipe
W=EMP
E=Cloak
R=Decloak
etc.

Where was the thread on custom hotkey program.
|
grid is standard in the german version so i got used to it and will use it in the future, unless its restricted in leagues
i hated people using qwer at wc3 though
|
I'm changing over from what was standard to grid because i'm playing random not because i don't have a main race or anything just because i want achievements and playing random gets me playing all the races and fills up playing random so it just gets achievements faster.
But currently i'm making the transition and only played like 10 games with grid and i feel completely awkward using t for a move and positional crap my old habits are strong enough with each race but grid seems more efficient haha.
|
Grid, its just easy. I've always played RTS games with grid keys and pick up the keys very quickly that way.
|
I came directly from BW to SC2, so i use classic. apparently most people use grid+standard. The only problem ive had with this is that in campaign "vikings" and "wraiths" are both use w as the hotkey, and viking is 1st in the auto select, so i have to use manually click on wraiths, but thats fine.
