If Idra and Tester both do it against each other, they may as well not be doing it. The only situation where it would garner an advantage where 2 players are both doing it is if one race benefits more from the extra minerals than the other. And that's a balance issue. | ||

This seems like a nice trick for upper tier players to do and definitely add another dimension to the game, an extra macro trick to use if you will. | ||

Without: 2:34 With: 2:29 As adverstised, even exceuted with moderate levels of precison nets tangible results (abeit very small). It would, however require quite a lot more concentration to follow a normal bo while doing this trick. | ||

Repeating a button sequence as often as possible doesn't take skill, you could train a monkey or a child to do it. It's just boring. Cool find anyway. Perhaps you should play chess where there is no physical skill required, only strategy. | ||

You also need to memorize a lot of openings with tons of variations as you get higher up and the ability to calculate multiple moves in advance. This takes a lot of hard practice to develop. Every competitive activity has a degree of rote, mindless grinding to it. Anyone who wants to avoid hard work is not going to succeed in competition anywhere. Unless the competition is whining the loudest about mechanics. | ||

And i expect ti would mean more like 4-5 seconds with max efficiency, which is another 4-5 seconds PvP korean 4warpgate shaves off. And thats 4 seconds i'd rather keep, because fighting 4 warpgate is fucking annoying enough | ||
