But it may be helpful in certain cituations when you need to escape between turrets or enemy units, that way your mutas will move with normal speed being clumped up. | ||

Yeah it provides another level of depth with regards to infiltrating bases, one day an amazing player will find that small 2x2 spot to sneak by. | ||

More click and be ready or Shift control like you and get pwned by Thors He isn't proposing you shift click and move your screen away. You can shift click to get through missile turrets for example and watch them and spread them if thors are nearby. Its a way to get somewhere with minimal damage if there is no AoE nearby its a nice trick to use to punish opponents I think thats all to be honest. | ||

But in that case, couldn't you simply use patrol a la the viking flower? Why would you ever need that? Mutas are no vikings, they don't need that. | ||

You cant shift queue longer distances because they will spread just like normally, and if you stack them with shifting that close to each other, you dont actually save that much apm and you have a worse muta stack anyways. You have much better control over your mutas if you just manually stack them in order to bypass static defense. Actually, if there is no static defense (or mobile defense for that matter) its better to not stack them at all when attacking scvs, because if you attack with a stacked group of mutas they completely overkill scvs thus wasting like 90% of the damage. If you attack a base with 20 spreaded mutas you can clear out the entire scv line in a matter of seconds, but if you stack those mutas, sometimes they will just kill a single scv with a volley. | ||

Using this trick muta speed is pretty much the same as if you would be just flying, but if you manually stacking them and flying your speed will be very low. | ||
