Heya!

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to disable mous scrolling ingame.

As day9, and many others, have said: you need to click the minimap and use (screen) hotkeys to move the camera and use screen edge scrolling as minimal as possible.

It has become such a habit for me to scroll that its hard to not do it. So I was wondering what you guys think about disabeling the mouse scrolling in the options menu.

cheers!

I don't think that'll do you any good... You're gonna suffer in every single battle.

I have it disabled. You need an alternative though, I use the middle mouse button. It's extremely precise, I recommend everyone to try it

How can you play without scrolling lol? Day9 means it's not good scrolling A LOT - a little bit scrolling is ok.

To force yourself, if you're having a problem using it a lot... it might be a good idea.

For scouting and micro'ing your army though, you need to scroll a few inches every so often. One of the biggest mistakes people make though is like scrolling around your main base a lot, or scrolling to your natrural- never do shit like that. Always use double tap of your hotkeys to bounce around.

When it comes time for serious play though- and you trust yourself- screen scroll is really needed for your scouting, things like Muta harass, and microing battles.

Myea, it would be for a week or so, just to force myself to use more screenhotkeys and minimapclicking.

The idea of using middlemouse instead is pretty interesting though....

Everyone scrolls a little bit. I think it would be a pretty bad idea because you never know what might happen and there could be situations where you do not have the hotkeys necessary to play effectively

I'm a middle mouse user myself. Have mouse scroll off and it's totally awesome.

Keep it on, but turn it up to the maximum sensitivity and learn to use it efficiently.

I don't recommend using middle mouse. I mean it's extra click you need to do every time you want to move screen - does not sound really efficient.
