I can use it to determine when I should go grab my fucking eggs from the water. It most definitely won't get you banned, since it has 0 (zero) interaction with the game. It's a cool app, and I'm sure it will help some people improve a bit. On the other hand, I think it shows that maybe the whole Larva Inject mechanic is a bit flawed - probably not the best piece of design that they could come up with. | ||

Your program does not interfere with SC2 / battlenet client at all, so no it isnt "Illegal" Does it break the rules of the game? Yes. Is it unfair? Yes. Would blizzard tell you its a great thing to do? Hell fuck no. Would tournaments let you use it? Nope. Would ANYONE you played using it tell you "oh thats awesome man, well done for beating me!"? doubt it very much. | ||

Also, to all those saying that they dont understand why you would do this, it gives you a really good feel for when your injects are done, so that, when you stop using it, you will already have the rythm ingrained in your play. Conclusion: Cheating, according to the Tos, however, a stopwatch on your desk would do the same thing, and would not be cheating. Definetlhy a usefull tool for learning. | ||

It makes you practice. It doesn't magically make you win games, it helps you to practise and get in your head that you have to larva/mule/chrono every x seconds until you don't need it anymore. | ||

People calling this cheating need a reality check - I think its great for people to get their timings 'under their skin' The only thing you get under your skin is waiting for that timer to go off ... Stop using the timer and you are bad again... Why do people still think that this works, people tried it so often and it never worked out. Just learn it the proper way. | ||

Also, it's not cheating and Blizzard can't ban you for that, because you can launch this programm in real life, on other notebook nearby, or turn on timer-tiker in mobile phone or ipad or other. | ||

My main main main main concern, is the use of this program in online qualifiers and tournaments. MASSIVE PROBLEM right there. It's a training tool. If a masters and above level player uses this and couldn't do almost the same without it I would be shocked and retract a lot of statements. But really, do masters players really forget to larva inject over simply choosing to focus on other aspects of the game which might happen at the 32 second mark. Also, I know this might either be me mis-remembering or giving everyone a total shock: but I believe Blizzard included a spawn larva expiry in game alert...WHEN THE LARVA SPAWNS! D= That means, Blizzard do this in game already, soooooooooo~ In a way this is unnecessary and helpful at the same time since it will remind you how sub optimal your play is. And if this is a third party tool, then firefox notepad and skype all have a lot to answer for! | ||

1) Start Skype/Ventrilo/Teamspeak (evil 3rd party programs) 2) Get a friend to whistle every 30 seconds in said programs 3) ??? 4) Profit I consider this cheating. Blizzard should ban friends. | ||
