This is funny because I've been a zerg player since the Beta started and never knew you could train units like this. I've always just pressed each unit production key one at a time. To all the people complaining about having to press z,z,z,z,z,z,z,z,z,z 15+ times in a row during a production cycle: it's not that hard. Or at least it doesn't seem hard to me because I'm used to it, having thought that was the only way to make units :O Ditto, I've always pressed individually-- and if I can do it, the pros can do it. | ||

I think everyone can agree on this nerf for Terran since PF will be much easier to take down now. FG doesn't work on air is just stupid. Hydras aren't even that good against muta and spire takes forever to build if you started it late. No more hydra-FG option Carrier Buff? Hallu buff was unnecessary. VR + vs massive=GREAT Zerg larva-holding down a key was a issue?!?! Were is the reaper buff? I like Pheonix buff, now I can maintain a air army vs terran Overall, only problem is FG and larva | ||

The right hand's duty hasn't changed, but now the left hand has to do a ton more. Now for Protoss and Terran, this isn't necessarily bad. The fact that it is this way isn't so much the issue. The issue is the game hasn't worked that way until just now. It doesn't add anything to the depth of the game and restricts players from doing what they've done throughout sc2's existence. Why would that be a good thing? For zerg, this is just plain bad. That's a lot of additional key presses, and for what? Creating a zergling swarm is going to be a nightmare. It didn't even work this way in Brood War, in bw you selected larva and pressed the button you wanted, and every single selected larva would morph immediately. There is no clear reason why we need to change this 10 months after everyone has had their hands on the game. | ||

True. Zerg's lack of an AoE spell is kinda lame. | ||

Zerg larva-holding down a key was a issue?!?! An issue in so far as it was dependent on how you had fast you had key repeating set up, you could push it way down in windows settings and gain an advantage over someone who didn't which is why they went this direction I think. | ||

Master League and chat channels look to be the 2 best parts of this upcoming patch from what I've seen This has to be a first for you, as in responding to a patch with other then rage... Oh it makes sense as your race received lots of buffs, but wait no more speed rays! LMAO! In all serious I couldn't pass up giving you a hard time over it though. On a totally different note faster hallucinate = awesome. And yes to post # 100!!!!! | ||

I'm confused. What do these two changes mean? Without checking, I'd say: -- Units that are visible because they are attacking you, but that you actually can't see yourself and thus can't hit (for example units hitting you from high ground), now have a slightly different color to make it more clear that you can't hit them. -- When a unit changes player the autocast is reset. This is for custom maps. | ||
