This issue that I'd like to bring up isn't the top 1%'s problem.. it's more the bottom 1% problem
it's a problem many won't give 2 seconds time to think about
it's a problem even the blizzard developers probably paid no mind to
however the struggle is real... especially for us mechanically bad players...
Now I will say.. I am masters in Hots.. but my use of hotkeys is... limited.. to put it nicely.
This was not an issue going from Wings to Hots.. at least.. i don't remember it being an issue... however Blizzard has screwed with me on this...
All I ask is that things remain in the spot they were between versions.. All 3 races are rearranged to a degree.. do you know how hard it is to rely on pressing the icons vs. using the keyboard to build units vs. structures is?!?
I know what you're thinking.. is this guy serious? YES!

I can see this becoming an especially annoying problem with grid hotkeys. Going from WoL to HotS, I was accidentally building Reapers instead of Marauders and Mines instead of Tanks.
|
i mean it's a game and I can see them changing this. lobby it up.
personally I think it's a self-issued challenge though. like playing non-dominant hand in a racquet sport. sure you can beat most of your peers and it has applications when you least expect it to, but to do it seriously Is a different story. and so completely understandable that it hasn't been in consideration.
|
I can promise you that this more of a bottom 30%-40% problem and not a "bottom 1%" problem.
|
Call me skeptical, but I have a VERY hard time believing you can get to masters without using hotkeys.
|
it's very annoying for us grid players. Also signficiantly they swapped fungal and ITs too. and with grid there is no way to change single hotkeys, not to mention that as a long, long time grid player I'm used to knowing from the position of a button which hotkey to press so I dont even want to customize it. (when Im unsure because f.e. Im offracing).

I had the same issue switching from wol to hots with reaper and marauder being inverted in the grid, what you can do is just edit all shortcuts yourself and bind the new shortcuts with your old grid ones, it s kind of a custom grid.
For example, my shortcuts are mainly like a grid, but it allows me some exception like to use the same key for 'burrow mine' and 'siege tank' despite it s not in the same spot on the display grid. Or my rax shortcuts are like a grid exception made with marauder and reaper ones being inverted.

I actually like it more. But what I would love the most, is that if you could put the buttons where you want them to be on the panel. That would make me so happy as a Grid user.

Zerg players can.
OP, why you don't use this opportunity to improve your mechanics? Stop being so lazy.

This is going to mess with my 6 year old daughter.

They should just let us costumize the layout, so we can drag the icons to where we want them to be!

Yep it would make a huge difference for grid users, would be really nice!
I made my own custom grid by rebinding the standard hotkeys, so I can use rapid fire. Changing a few spells around would be really helpful!

that's amazing brave post lol I can't believe you play without hotkeys why??? haha but at the same time, why not??? it amazes me
|
You can literally MAP any key to ANY structure / ability in the "Hotkeys" Menu.
If you really are CLICKING manually. Then moving buildings shouldn't be an issue. (Takes what... 2 games to learn where to click)

I was the thinking the same thing for my kid.
But wow, I am shocked a masters player can get away with this. Hey, more power to the OP if that's how he wants to play. As for Blizzard, there is no reason they should mess with this.

Oh jeez, let me get David Kim on the line right now, better get this squared away ASAP.
|
erm, you should never use the UI buttons to build stuff....ever....so.....
|
Switch to Protoss and just click-build Adepts.
Easy game, easy life...
