By far the fastest Inject setup.

This is an improvement in speed, simplicity and placement on the keyboard for injecting larvae. It's essentially the "backspace" method without moving your hand to get to the backspace key. First go into the menu, hotkeys and global hotkeys. Then open the camera section and go to "base camera". Backspace is the default key for this. Add this alternative hotkey "hold shift+b".(value may vary from person to person depending on where you place your hands on the keyboard but the following can be done regardless). Now my alternative key to backspace is now holding down shift and pressing b. Since most people have their hand on asdf or somewhere close anyway, the Shift+B method a perfect position to execute. After that set all queens at hatcheries to your favorite or ideal hotkey. When you are ready to inject just press the corresponding # to select queens then inject command "V" (or whatever you have it set to) hold down shift (left shift in my case) and press B click B click B click B click.. i literally inject so fast that way it looks like a script or macro has been bound to a key. I know this is some old news but hey.. better is always better regardless of how trivial it is :D Hope this helps someone.

i dont remember how I inject, if shift is involved and whatnot, but I just remapped backspace to spacebar.

Why are you remapping it to shift+b? Why not just b? I'm a bit confused.

"Why are you remapping it to shift+b? Why not just b? I'm a bit confused."


Because "b' is bound to the build command for our drones so using that will not work. since you have to hold shift anyway when cycling through the injects, b is right there at the pointer finger for me and it makes it freakin fast as hell. Like is said the shift+"letter" will vary from person. u can use x or z or w/e is simplest.

So why not just shift+spacebar?

Or better yet, just spacebar?

Much easier to hit spacebar than B. I'm pretty sure most people remapped backspace to spacebar.

You can also change your hotkeys too you know, or just leave them unbound. I left F1 unbound for the longest time, and now I have it on backspace.

Shift+E works yes but he said "e". Sorry if you were implying shift. thought u just meant e by itself

Why would anyone want to replace their "last event" key with the backspace? That makes no sense to me and i don't think it's encouraged to do that.

I use V instead of B, but otherwise it's basically the same. Recently I've been moving away from this though, since this system starts to go horribly wrong as soon as you have one hatchery without a queen attached to it. Your queens will wander all over the map trying to inject far away hatcheries, while ignoring the hatcheries they stand right next to. So to me this is only viable until I have 3-4 hatcheries, then I'll have to switch to one of the slower methods.

I dont like these methods. With enough mouse/keyboard control and raw speed you can inject 5 bases (with say, three macro hatches spread between them) using however many queens you want, with manual control (no actions you do not specifically think about and command) in less than 1-2 seconds. Ive never had a queen running around the map, and you feel so much more in control when you are manually giving each command. There is also the weird drawback when your injects MUST be in sync - when i tried backspace method, i found myself saying "il just leave my naturals queen for 15-20 sec" so i could inject all at the same time, and my overall larvae production dropped some >10% even when i tried to avoid this. If you backspace (without having camera hotkeys at every base anyway) then you will have to manually inject with some queens, and leave them desynced from the rest of them for optimal results. Also considering it takes 44.444 (repeating) seconds for queens to generate the energy for a larvae inject, yet only 40 for larvae to pop off, if you hit injects perfectly you get weird results, as a queen with 22-24 energy could receive an inject command and be unable to do so, forcing another one to run across the map, and half of your hatcheries to loose their inject cycles.

Obviously backspace method (or this variant) would work better for the average player (gold) or even higher (plat-diamond) but i feel for optimising at a high masters to pro level of mechanics, camera hotkeys and manual control will be superior.

Yeah if a queen dies or whatever then one will be walking...but how is that a bad thing? just let her walk her ass over there while you build another queen to stabalize the chaos. I mean you want the hatch injected anyway right? Unless of course she walking in open battleground i can understand. Usually i just inject the same throughout the match without an issue even if one has to get off the creep and put the high heels on to squirt that hatch.

You use larvae inject on the same hotkey as jumping between bases? How does that work?

Inject -> V
Next base -> Shift-V

While this quote is speculation, it's still common to deem the method with fewest commands and movements to be less error prone and fastest to execute, thus making it the method of choice. But that too is speculation i suppose. I'm just saying i've used this with ease. just makes injects feel like scratching my ass every 40 secs without having to move my hands from thier desired placement on my keyboard. This obviously will not sooth all fancies but to those it helps speed things up and feel more in control of the injects then yay.
