Overlord Waypoint

Does anyone else find that zerg should have a overlord waypoint from the hatchery? I mean i know that it takes some of the "micro" away but i still find it annoying to have to move the overlords separately away from my army. I know it's a minor detail but i still find it to be a tad annoying personally.

Yeah I hate that too. And when they move so slow you don't even notice they are moving to the rally point on the minimap.

Just press on the egg of the overlord and press where you want it to end up. If I can do it, you can too :P

i've always thought that! I'm fairly new to Zerg, and I remember one match just two days ago where I couldn't find my overlords....until they came under fire, half-way across the map where my other units were.

That was a fun realization. Losing half of your food. Now I pay more attention lol

Yeah, I've always wished for such a thing. It gets really annoying when a cloud of overlords hangs over all the newly produced combat units in your base.

It's easy to do what dynamik said at the start of the game, but later when you're macroing hard it's pretty tough to keep track of all of 'em.

Rather than have a 3rd rally option on the hatchery (which just makes things complicated) why not just have overlords rally to where drones rally to instead of other units?

Makes sense to me.

Then you end up with a cloud over Overlords obscuring your mineral line... which now that I think of it is actually strategically sound. It makes it harder for the enemy to focus fire on your drones. That being said, it's usually a good idea to spread Overlords out almost randomly so you don't lose them all at once and your opponent has to work harder to Overlord hunt for harassment.

You should have several placed around the map, but you should also immediately retreat them to the safety of your base if they get air units.

ORR there can be a rally point but its gotta be left clicked from hatchery to wherever chosen, or ctrl+ left click

just an idea
