Already in my first placement I was spamming R without it doing anything, soo annoying >.< It was stated before the patch even came out that custom keys are not going to be supported at first, but it's something that's likely either in a patch or the expansion, depending on how long it takes to sort out. Your options until then are right/left, grid/name, or "classic." | ||

used to be you could group queen with hatchery, trigger puke larvae, click the wire frame of the hatchery, and your queen would puke accordingly. Now clicking the wire frame doesnt work, and you have to click PRECISELY on the hatch in the minimap. I play zerg, and I no likey the new zerg mechanics. | ||

Circumvent it instead of just complaining that the same old cheese/strat (don't know if it's easy to transition out of or if you're screwed if you fail). Aren't there hellions/drops that zerg have trouble stopping when they FE? Most cheese is dependant and luck and unawareness, this just makes it more forgiving for Zerg if he gets cheesed straight off the bat. And Orb, just because Immortals construction got longer by 15 or so seconds doesn't mean every Zerg is a skill-less noobie. Try out your build again, change it a bit if it doesn't work or just attempt something else completely. I'm sure there's something other than the immortal timing push in PvZ. Disagree on the "learn to do something other than bunker rush". First of all a bunker rush like that was extremely risky and almost an auto-loss if it didn't take the hatch down. On the other hand if you let a zerg get away with hatchery first (which in my eyes is just as cheesy as a bunker rush) the zerg get a big economical advantage. The solution may be to fast expand yourself as terran, but I'm very upset that this at least seemingly makes a hatchery before pool build perfectly safe against anything but a proxy. Too early to tell if that's truly the case but I wouldn't be surprised. Bunker rushes should always be an option IMO. | ||

Or you could, you know, hotkey your hatches seperately and double tap the appropriate hotkey and spawn larva the pro way. And yes, the cancel larvae is stupid, it was one of the things that made zerg so frustrating/loveable when it went wrong/right. Yes having a misclick is annoying, but misclicks should be punished! I bet they will either exact a penalty on canceling or bring back the killed larva, i hope. | ||

Seeing as how spawn larva has been nerfed, it seems fair for Zerg to be able to do this. The point is that zerg can pump MASS drones with almost no consequence now because as soon as they see the opponent moving out they just cancel all the larva and switch to units. | ||

Canceling building/morphing still costs. so does this mean you can have > 3 larvae? ( morph overlord, wait for larvae, cancel overlord, rinse, repeat). would be interesting to see how many muta the moment spire finishes you can get off of 1 hatch queen... | ||

So what if zerg can now cancel eggs and get larva back ? You think thats an advantage... how about the fact that when protoss makes a proxy pylon to warp-in units while attacking, he can immediatelly decide WHICH units he will need next just based on how the battle is going and a few seconds later have those units attacking at my natural ? While as zerg or terran you always need to think ahead, what units will i need 30 seconds from now. You basically make a guess and hope it goes well. Protoss no longer makes any guesses. In BW TvP, if i'm slightly ahead after a major battle the most logical thing to do is to make vultures since protoss will most likely make zealots since they finish faster... but now with warp-gates all units have a ridiculously small cooldown so he can build exactly what he needs anywhere he needs them. And i'm not able to cancel eggs because my larva die ? | ||
