Why would you bind base camera to "~"? On my keyboard thats just to the left of the "enter" key and seems really obnoxious. I bind it to "|", right above "tab". Does other keyboards have tilde soomewhere else?

It's in a far better place on U.S. keyboards.

Thanks! thought I would like to share with those zergs who doesnt really have an easy way to inject larva. For those that use ~v method, cool it works, and this works for me, so its just preference.

I can't agree with this. Injecting isn't hard. Larva is way more powerful than chono/mules. Make every unit from one building and hotkey..

Meh, might works for some. I personally still prefer the backspace method, with a few rebinded keys.

F1-4 is great and all, if you dont mind losing your camera keys.

And yet, people with 300+ APM still miss injects... If it isn't so hard, why are so many people missing them?

I will have to try this out when I get home. Does this solve the whole issue of queens taking field trips when using the shift+backspace method to inject?
If at first you don't succeed, redefine the parameters for success.

No, ahahhaha I don't know how to fix that exept by just making sure you press F1(base camera) past the queen-less base

I normally inject through the minimap, but when I'm bit shaky it becomes hard to click the hatcheries properly.

I've been using this for a while now. Recently I have seen pros do it too. Also I don't think you need to hotkey your queens you can just select them and then inject, like I've seen other pro's do. Saves an extra hotkey for some other use.

I'm having trouble, everytime I do this I open my homepage, email and search.

Looks promising.

first off, chrono boost isn't a "macro mechanic", it's a make shit go faster button. warpgates are toss' macro mechanic, if anything, and they're certainly not difficult to use...nor are mules for terran.

what makes zerg macro more difficult is the need to spread creep and inject, and the need to in a lot of cases not look at your units for a bit in order to do this. missing injects = fewer possible units. losing queens = huge stint in available larva. larva isn't more "powerful" than mules, my good man.

everyone would probably agree that the macro in sc2 isn't really difficult for any race.

hm i think it's more about remembering to do it on time every single time than it is about how fast you do it. I mean players like drg just hotkey each hatch, box the queen, and inject and still have the most consistent injects. Also spreading creep is takes a lot more time and its the real apm sink with zerg macro, not injects.

agreed


To a certain degree Zerg does have hard macro mechanics, but once you get good with injects I actually think zerg is the easiest macro out of all three races and heres why

Supply blocks do not hinder zerg nearly as much as it hinders Protoss or Terran for the sole reason that larva stacks and can be later used, so the only time a supply block really does hinder a Zerg is when say your trying to drone up (Lost mining time) or you need to make units quickly to stop any sort of incoming pressure/attack.

Also another important thing to note is due to the larva stacking feature your not losing any production time on important and esseintal units such as the Infestor where as if terran and Protoss were to get supply blocked and not que important units such as the Colossi and Ghost they are losing a vast amount of production time.

As a Protoss player if your not using your warp gates to their maximum efficiency in terms of the warp in intervals your macro eventually begins to slip and you have to invest into more gateways later on just to spend your money and in most cases these gateways spend a good portion of the game idle. Chrono boost is a really tricky mechanic and it isen't really being used to its full poteintal atm, In the future as chrono becomes more potent I think it will begin to demand much more mechanics from the Protoss user in order to make sure hes using its value to its full potential.

These are just my thoughts, at the end of the day every race does have hard aspects of the game and I think its stupid to pigeon hold one race as the hardest and most demanding for either micro or macro.
