I kind of like sockfolding but it's way too easy to do with a macro and has to go.

That's all.

While this WILL give a short boost, I don't think it is entirely viable, as you lose efficiency every time you have to do anything else, like building a drone...


Plus it's only half as effective since you're only boosting it one way instead of both.

This is not a macro. It's a setting, just like changing mouse speed is.

Edit: Btw, as pointed out earlier in this thread this method does not work.

Bah, just when I was getting used to using the sockfolding technique.

Mineral boosting still works, but it is much more difficult because you can only cue up returns when minerals are in hand.

To be fair, they only say they are aware and will have this resolved. That could mean something as simple as just making it impossible to do on MULEs, so that the 3 races have an equal footing using this technique. They don't specifically say they are going to remove it.

Hey guys,



We've seen many threads on this issue and I wanted to let you know that we are aware of the reports and hope to have this resolved in the future.


If he was referring to just MULE's then he would have said that. Anyone who thinks sockfolding is a "mechanic" for SC2 needs to go back to BW. Like most stuff, it's an exploit that's unintended, and useless to practice. And it's fair to refer to this simply as sockfolding because it's a useless tactic that is more unnecessary busy work, a lot like sock folding...

+ Show Spoiler +

oh and LOL at everyone who took the time to practice something that they knew would have been patched anyway

Well, they don't necessarily need to say what they are referring too. They were very ambiguous with their statement to leave their options open. It's possible they haven't decided what to do yet and are just letting the community know they have heard about the reports and are working on it. What you take from that is up to you, but I feel like it leaves a lot to interpretation. I gave the idea of just nerfing MULEs as a possible resolution other than completely removing it that they could be considering.
