I don't think it's going to matter. I know right now ladder games count, I don't see that changing. I imagine most people aren't going to turn it off, don't know why anyone would turn it off because if they lose, it's not because of hotkeys. | ||

Custom hotkeys are obviously aimed at newer players. It may not sound like it's a big deal, but to most casual players, it's huge. Most of us aren't accustomed to pressing p with our left hand, which also dereferences the relative keys from the hand position. I typically try to reset my hand position so that my pinky is back to floating around the A key. But to be proficient, you must be able to reference keys when your pointer finger hits the p key. "bp" for example, instead of hitting b with your pointer finger, you do so with your pinky so that you can follow up with p using your pointer finger. These micro transactions add up, and making them second nature will take an unexpected amount of time. Custom hotkeys are much easier as they reduce the number of combinations and coordinations. That being said, I think there's a small possibility that it may catch on in the pro scene, but it's gonna be a while. Especially because the foreign bw scene doesn't hold much weight, at least for now. Knowing the Korean culture and how they value hand dexterity, I wouldn't bet on custom hotkeys if you're going pro. You can thank blizz for putting you in an awkward spot. As a casual, I'm gonna use it. | ||

if anything you'll torment yourself by having to wait indefinitely whenever you disable it, seriously nobody cares, are people scared they're going to be at a disadvantage because their hotkeys are a bit less convenient? If you're good at starcraft you're good, if you're bad you're bad, hotkeys won't change anything | ||

Just logged onto fish and checked every single non-UMS game. Out of ~50 games I saw exactly one with custom hotkeys disabled. | ||

It may be better than 1-p, but it's more efficient and faster to do something like 1-e. Using the same finger in the same combination isn't that great imo. My 2 cents. | ||
