Just tested this and it's extremely, extremely difficult at least with a large map like unit tester. Obviously, on smaller maps it gets easier. You have to target the specific dot; the cursor will turn yellow when a targetable unit is selected. It works for neural parasite, transfuse, and snipe as well.

Edit: Yes, it doesn't work without vision, but even with a mass of observers near the enemy army it was a pain in the rear.

This needs to me fixed. They are making sc2 skill ceiling just ridiculous. Macro is easy already, don't make micro non-existent.
Also, MC isn't as impressive as I thought him to be.

If you have minimap vision you have regular vision of the army as well, so getting off these pinpoint feedbacks is usually just as difficult as doing it regularly if not more since you don't even know which dots are ghosts and which aren't. I don't see how this helps unless the units are off on their own, in which case just clicking them is about as difficult.

It might make defending from drops really easy as Protoss. Just have every high templar at an expansion hotkeyed in one group. If you see a drop coming on the minimap just hit your hotkey and f click the minimap and the nearest high templar (the one getting dropped) will feedback the medivac.

Just tested it, and for me it was almost impossible. Just like with Larva Inject, it has to be pixel perfect on the minimap, so trying to target via minimap makes it so much harder.

doesn't sound like very realiable, should only work properly if you are already in range.

Like others have said, it isn't an easy technique. I found it much easier to just normally individually target them.

Unless someone is like floating barracks over their ghosts, I don't see why this would be more efficient.

For those of you using unit test maps, you can't target stuff you don't have vision of. Even though you see both players vision circles, the enemy units have to be in vision of your ghosts for example.

Loving the "new trick is found? GET RID OF IT!" attitude everyone suddenly has here.

It definitely sounds neat to me.

And Larva inject targets a 4x4 square building instead of a 1x1 square unit. So it's (theoretically) about 16 times as hard.

Cannot confirm "autotarget". Spell works on minimap, but you'd have to manually target the Ghost/... just like in the "Viewport" - else it fires "Must target unit".

Because it's a bullshit trick. Holding shift, f and clicking on the mini map like a madman takes no skill.

good luck catching ghosts on the minimap when they are in the middle of an army..

So just to make this clear, it doesn't work by just clicking in the general vicinity of the ghosts on the minimap? You have to click on the ghost through the minimap? Because if it autotargets then it's stupid.

Yes, and its the same with all the spells that target an unit. You have to click on the unit/building. Actually I tried this with a Queen Transfuse and it healed a Zergling t.t

Yes, you have to get the cursor on the ghost's minimap dot to target him with feedback.

K, well then I don't see the problem with it. It should be easier to just target the ghosts properly, but I don't know. I'm just too lazy to test it I guess xD
