My biggest problem is clicking the goddamn help menu tab when I'm running away from battles.

there's an option to make these unclickable in gameplay options. they just need a similar option for the bottom group buttons too

and it only happens in the heat of battles so it's a giant pain


that made me laugh - it's almost as if it is disabled and suddenly toggles on when you engage haha

It's a very fair developmental request imo - these little tweaks just make the game a lot more pleasant to play

Oooh so that's what has been happening to me, thanks for shedding clarity on the issue Zelniq. I had no clue what was going on, it's so frustrating to hit my hatchery key and find that it's now a backup control group for my scouting lings. When this happens during battles it's ridiculous, I have to go clicking and rebinding my hatcheries like a madman. A new UI option to disable this method of rebinding would be very much appreciated.

oh yeah so this one tournament match, final game in a bo3..

coming down to 1 large battle, ive got all my mutas lings and banes in 3 separate groups, terran tries to move into the center of the map and I position my army carefully below for the right moment to attack..it comes and then I 1a2a3a all my units into his just now sieged tanks, marines and medivacs... with great speed and fury all my mutalisks and zerglings rush in..my banes on the other hand just chillin back watching from safety. of course my lings get blown to bits by tank fire and mutas pop to marines, I notice the mistake and try to pull back as it's too late to bring the banes in now, but it's too late, my army is nearly all gone.

of course what happened was as I moved my units down right before I attacked, as right clicking downwards also happens to be where the group buttons are, I clicked the group button that had my banelings in it, overwriting it and therefore making me lose the game and knock myself out of the tourney.

Please get this more attention! I had know idea what was going on, then carefully watching a replay i realised all those times I've unbinded my hatches during a battle is from missclicks on their control group button. It's so frustrating doing rebinds right when you need to replenish your army...

Any time you bind units/buildings to a hotkey (0-9), a button pops up right at the bottom of the main game screen area, with the number and a small picture of what's in the group. However their feature of re-binding the hotkeys by simply right clicking the button is really obnoxious, as at least for me, I often accidentally right click the button when I'm actually just trying to right click on the ground to move my units south. Usually I've over-written the hotkey with all my hatcheries in a group and it only happens in the heat of battles so it's a giant pain

I really would like to see an option in the menu to disable accidental clicks on these buttons, just like they have a similar option for the "Help" buttons at the top of the game screen.

(this isnt new with patch 9, it's been in for a while)

+ Show Spoiler [additional zerg fixes Im hoping for] +

Also please change Ventral Sacs hotkey so that not every zerg player who's ever breathed on SC2 will inevitably accidentally research it every time they go to make overlords when there's no larvae available. And even more significantly for zerg, fix the Select Larvae problem detailed here. And banelings/overseers/broodlords shouldn't auto-move to rally points after morphing either. No need to mention the obvious major exploit that's going to be hotfixed today.


Great idea. I was wondering what was causing that awful screwing up of my control groups.

Totally agree. I had a wishlist in the beta with this on it. So frustrating to be in a heated battle and do this. Since then I've trained myself to not get near the last inch or so of the screen area... which sucks because I'd like my usable space back!@

So while I'm at it, where the hell is my "show hp bars" in game toggle option (not the current hold down ALT, but an actual toggle that is, press once on, press once off)?

Lol changing hotkeys has nothing to do with this. We are talking about the clickable buttons that appear on the screen as a result of setting a hotkey group.

Its amazing how Blizzard is just ignoring this issue.

We've been complaining since ever, yet nothing has been done.

I want to know who thought clicking to choose a hotkey was a good idea. If anything I think, they should be their own separate groups from the keyboard bindings. If someone's using the mouse to set and select groups, the keyboard shouldn't even be relevant in that case.

It's happened to me so many times where my hotkeys get into a tangled mess even when I do realize that EVERY single time my hotkeys are messed up, it's because I accidentally clicked one of the visual control groups.

Actually, that's a great idea. Separate from the usual control group keys would fix everybody's problem, and it may be easier to code for Blizzard.
