Always on but I mainly use it to see when buildings and upgrades will finish more than anything.

Always on.

But god, i wish they made something about their size.. i'm like always strugling to see what's what under the big bars

It's SO annoying during big battles.

Health Bars on zerglings are like twice their size and protoss had the shield one.

Selected. Why clutter your screen with pointless information when you can press a button once that kind of micro is needed.

always on makes it easier to micro, and i never want to hit alt constantly.

Having health bars always on has never gotten in the way of me seeing / selecting units, and helps quite a bit with micro (focus firing, saving units from death, etc.). I see no reason to turn them off besides commentating games.

I used to use Selected, but I realized it really made micro a ton easier to have them always on. I found I always saw more opportunities to save units. Totally worth the extra clutter.

I didn't realise such a huge portion had them always on... I constantly tap it during a game, most likely going to give it a go with always on now >.>

Lost alot of wc3 games from tapping ALTQQ tho lol

Definitely always on and when people stream or cast without them on it always annoys me.

No reason not to have them always on. Easier micro+ seeing progress on units/upgrades in production.

I use selected but so many people seem to be using always on so I'm going to give it a try.

I can understand if people having them off if they play on a 4:3, but if you play on 16:10 or 16

I don't se any reason to have it off because the bars won't be in your way with such an high resolution.

Always on, makes microing back damaged units/focus fire enemy units waaaay easier. And as a Terran it helps me to either engange a Colossus or not if i can see how damaged it is.

Always on since I like how it makes it just that much easier to focus fire enemy units and micro back any hurt ones on my side

(or at least attempt to micro lol)

The only person I know who manually checks health bars is HuK.

I use default. I tried having always on because I played dota/war3 but I don't like the look of the little squares. I also die inside when I see someone cast a game with health bars always on.

Oh wow really so few others who play with them off?

I find it really messes with being able to see bigger battles with how much clutter it adds. And probably 95% of the game they have no value as you are not in a battle. The other 5%, you can hold alt when needed. I just don't think its worth it, especially given how ugly it makes things.

Even if I didn't think they cluttered large battles making it harder to control, I still wouldn't use them because of how ugly they are. Perhaps blizzard could make a more appealing health bar.
