What's the point of removing all W hotkeys and then not enabling the warpgates hotkey in team games? In case you NP an opponents probe and tech to warpagtes. Because we all know that happens a lot. By a lot I mean it never actually happens. | ||

Try playing terran an protoss without the keyboard, it's not that hard right? Just a bit slower. Now try playing Protoss with warp gates *without* clicking the warp gate icon. It's impossible. For every unit you warp in you have to move the screen to the warp gate, click, move the screen to where you want to place it and click again. Then all the way back. At least that's how I see it. I think zerg should get something similar for "queens ready to inject" or something. | ||

I dont mind manually injecting but just to see when to do it would help Z be a little more accessable Turn on health bars. When they are on there is a gray bar above the hatchery that shows larva timing. | ||

I said this earlier, but I don't agree with this because injection uses energy. It may be a macro ability and an important one, but it's not a cooldown. As such even after you use it you could still have enough energy left over for it to keep saying "queens ready to inject" even if your hatch already has larva on it that you can't inject onto. | ||

Personally, I'd rather they show the progress bar on the wireframes when multiple buildings are selected. Then you'll easily know when larva has spawn, chrono is done, BC's are coming out, etc, without having to go back to your base to see progress. | ||

With Zerg and Terran you can macro from elsewhere while you watch/micro your army. With Protoss you have to move your camera back to pylon power and start placing units there. Yes, but once you do you get to place your units anywhere. I'd be MORE than happy if I had to go to somewhere on the creep and unburrow my units immediately there. Really, what's with people acting like warp gates are a hindrance, rather than an amazingly useful feature? | ||

It sort of does make sense that if P gets such a key Z should get one for queens or larva. And terran.... Doesn't need any help and should have a key that self destructs all mules so they can hit that by accident and rage from time to time lol. Off-topic (has anyone other than me accidentally self-destructed a control group of banelings by misclicking? Omg soooo annoying haha) | ||

Its not anywhere near as convenient as other races make out. Often you have to cut production for a while till you get your forward pylon up or go back to base and nanny them up to your moving force and robo air units still has to be dealt with as normal and or get isolated. I am not saying its not extremely useful but it does also have its drawbacks at times and isnt an OMG you can warp in anywhere tool. Because you cant you actually need power and it takes about as long to build a pylon as it does a nydus worm and creep reinforces very quickly, its not protoss' fault if you dont use them. | ||

Having all gates in a control group functions the exact same. | ||

How is it intuitive that Warpgates are the only production facility that are autoassigned to their own special hotkey? Say you played terran a bit, campaign and stuff. That's the race you're familiar with. Now you try protoss. Is it intuitive that warpgates have a special hotkey? | ||

Now that I think about it, I could just hotkey the pylon without warpgates and use W..... | ||

Yes because it appears on the HUD, although it's hard to notice it when you're in the middle of a game. I think the special hotkey is fine because protoss should probably be hotkeying their forward pylon for their warpins. So it seems fair. | ||
