my favorite part about this is zerg is dominating asian servers.

Blizz recognizes that and has actually complained about this behind closed doors.

next patch comes out: Zerg gets buffed.

WHAT?

I mean I'm not really complaining because I don't think these are huge improvements.. but they certainly didn't do anything to help the asian server rofl.

Poll makes no sense



It does, if he means "now that you can't click the icon it's too hard to use it effectively. do you agree that it needs to change somehow now that zerg is so hard to macro properly?"

I voted no. :p

lol well the kid wants there to be tension between the Queen's abilities, which would make Zerg more difficult to macro. Blizz made Zerg more difficult to macro in a different way


I would love it if "Spawn Larva Complete" or something was added to the action list so that you can hit space to bounce back to the hatch when you get that message, would be good nuff =)

Still im totally fine with checking the energy of my queen(s) and now hitting F1 to go to my hatch

I don't understand people... for years they cry about MBS making it so you don't have to go back to your base as often and when blizzard puts something that forces them to do that they cry some more? And as mentioned, it pretty much evens P and Z out with T in regards to macro mechanics... mechanics .

Well no. Terran can recall all mules from multiple command centers to one mineral field. Zerg needs to go to the location of all hatcheries to inject larvae into all of them.

wow.. thats really gay.. they need to make it 30 sec again or stack 2..
Its really gets harder to use it later in game when you have to go back to specific map locations to use it every 15 or so realtime seconds on specific buildings...

I dont think I like that change though.


Yea that just doesn't make sense, why would they want all 3 macro mechanics to require similar amounts of attention???

ITS BLASPHEMY I TELL YOU!


If that's the case, then halve the duration of MULEs and make it require 25 energy instead. And if you want to compare it spawn larvae, make it so that you can only have 1 MULE per CC so you can't spam 4 MULEs if a CC has 100 energy.

If this is true then it single handedly pushes away all the casual/lower apm players from enjoying the game with arbitrary physical skill cap to succeed.

Casual/lower apm players don't need success to enjoy the game. Only competitive players need to be successful to enjoy the game :o




I agree with Senx. This will drive new players away leaving Starcraft 2 just for us devoted fans.

You beat me to me it.. i would alter your post though and say:

Casual/lower apm players don't need to find the most optimal way to play the game to enjoy the game. Only competitive players need to find the most optimal way of playing the game to give them the greatest chance of success = enjoyment.

IMBALANCE!

yeah cus as someone else mentioned, you have to cast mule only half as often as zerg/toss has to cast spawn larva/chrono boost. also you totally have more ccs than zerg has hatches in most games!! Lets face it, using Mule perfectly is now much easier compared to spawn larva/chrono.

I can't understand this. Why did they change the chronoboost on icons? I used it for everything. It will be hard for me to change to a new (slower) way. =(

Its not that bad. Just group all your queens into one group/ hotkey.

Then when you want to spawn larva you have a few choices after selecting that group, lets say queens on #4.

Use backspace to cycle through hatches, hit 4, spawn larva.

Put hatches on 5: then its " 5, (tab if needed), 4, spawn.

Or using cam keys, 4 to select queens, Fkey for location, spawn.

----------------------
Also, remember that when using the queens (or chronos) as a group, and casting, that the closest queen to the target (with eng) will go and cast. Which is great when you are at 3+ bases.

Its my guess that blizz never intended the portraits to work that way, but its a small loss.

Yeah, this is the major issue I have with spawn larva. If there's some intense fighting and my multitasking breaks down as T or P, and my OC / Nexus builds up to 100 energy, I can just go use it up all at once. Sure, it's not as perfectly efficient and optimal as I'd like it to be, and it's something I can work on, but I at least get some benefit.

If my multitasking breaks down as Z and I get a queen with 100 energy, that's 4 larva injections that I'll never get to use (16 larva wasted!). Sure, I have creep tumor--which is nice for the first one or two to connect your bases and start spreading into the map--but that'll only handle one or two missed injections at most.

Clicking the wireframes made it a lot easier to get your injections done often and on time, but I think what would REALLY help is some sort of notification to the player when a larva injection round finishes. If it had an announcement, it would be very close to macroing workers out of 2-3 bases in the pre-MBS and pre-automine days, which was certainly not that hard for fast players (though of course it takes a lot of player time).
