I hope this stays in game as well. It's one of those small things that will give the best players edge over the other top players. | ||

there are other aspects of the game that deserve more micro and attention. | ||

This is actually one of the very few things in SC2 that really REALLY annoy me. Accelration and deceleration. I just wanna run away fast D: poor probes getting killed by marines early game =( | ||

But I don't see it being a big deal. This is way too micro-intensive. Only issue I can see is if someone bots this. But if so, maphackers will be easier to spot ! | ||

It leaves 1 worker on a patch alone, and I don't remember seeing this pre 1.5, do someone else noticed it? I don't think it's thread worthy tho :/ It was same before 1.5 | ||

Just imagine what this could do for 1-base all-ins at the pro level, especially 6pool, 2rax bunker rushes, and cannon rushes. Let's hope Blizz has the same opinion as you do, though. A higher skill ceiling is always nice. | ||

You're talking about near patches right? I think there's still gap between 2 workers for far patches which means this can work (theoretically at least). This obviously won't matter once you achieve over-saturation but it can make a noticeable difference after you're done stacking workers on near patches. | ||

Yeah you need to babysit the far patch near the edges, I notice it more there. Once you fix it it stays fixed for a while though. | ||

To me, the most annoying thing about these tricks is that now we all have to practice doing it early game. | ||

There is just no way of knowing whether the action queued after a move command leeds to a deceleration. But I don't see it being a big deal. This is way too micro-intensive. I think you're right about this being impossible to patch out. And that's awesome. Babysitting your workers might not be the most interesting thing to do during a match, but this doesn't show to the audience. It's the small details that make a great player an amazing player. | ||

Chances of your average Bronze league player doing it are approximately nil, and even up to most Masters players I'm guessing it will be largely ignored. | ||

You mean that if your opponent practices something to get an edge then you have to practice it too to stay even? Well no fucking shit. | ||

They could still simply apply decceleration on point destination move, just like unit target move. | ||

The problem is, I already have to practice mineral stacking. Screwing that up is more detrimental than not doing it at all. | ||
