not hard to grasp. classic ways to abuse this: surround a queen or spine crawler with drones while the queen is attacking. enemy lings will run around not doing anything and get owned as long as u pump right click on the queen/spine crawler. surround repair a thor while scv's repair. lings will run around like idiots. wall off with a ranged dps behind wall. melee units will run around like idiots. easy way to avoid this bad behavior target fire | ||

At the same time while SC2 helps to sorta mend this problem (wasn't much of a problem because players just microed near instantly so this is unnoticed), it gives its OWN priorities like engage medivcs instead of ground units or SCVs instead of Thors. If there was like a Shift+F command or a set of commands like patrol etc. so that you can change from "attack using default attack priorities" to "attack the closest thing possible", it would really help alleviate some of these situations. | ||

Because unarmoured targets usually have shorter attack range than the armoured targets (roach/hydra being a notable exception), they naturally end up closer and so are prioritised by the auto-target. If you construct a situation where the armoured target is closer than the unarmoured target, the immortal does shoot at it first. | ||

 for instance, not waste shots as to shooting on already dead targets. wasting shots as in shootin on bad targets is not covered  | ||

In SC2, units die instantly, so once something's dead, units with instant shots can't attack them. There's simply nothing there to target. This is also true. I also feel like SC2 siege tanks turn a lot faster to face their target, compared to SC1. There are a lot of things making tanks stronger. | ||
