You don't need to know specific orders, just how many gates are on cooldown and number of gates total. If you have 10 and only 4 are ready you know what area you should be looking in for the gates on cooldown.

Well ok I officially don't feel silly now. I was going to make this two days ago but figured all the pros would just say "yea dude, we knew that forever, common knowledge." <3 <3

Also the idea I had for late game I'll show here, it might suck, but it made sense to me.

Instead of grouping all your gateways in a "sqaure" laying them down in staggered lines.

Ex: You set up your gateways like this.

Then if anything warps not right above or below your gates, you can basically split the map in two.

I don't know maybe I'm just overthinking this however.......

this is awesome to know, thank you so much!

I wonder if this will affect base layouts for aware players in the future (making their gates in slightly more of a line toward opponent for example, rather than just placing them somewhere in base).

This is great to know, but you gotta wonder why blizzard couldn't just give us a cooldown bar over the warpgates just like every other race gets progress bars for their units building...


It's funny you should say this because I've always wondered why Zerg can't get an idle larva counter in the bottom right, like protoss gets an idle warpgate counter.

Anyways, this is a great find and I'll be using it when offracing.

I got to imagine the odds of the distance being 100% equal is pretty low and I don't even know if I could replicate that (or don't know how).

Oh my god, this was something that irritated me so bad in game. Now all I got to do is line up my gateways and I'll probably never worry about this again. Amazing.

Nice deduction! I've found myself wondering this on several occasions, actually. Thank you
