Assign Queen to Hatchery

Wrong. Go get a timer. Show us the vid of you doing Spawn Larva perfect for an entire 20 minute game.

Since day 1 I have stated my position as affecting high level play, pro gamers with high APM.

I am not a pro gamer. My argument has never been about people under Platinum league.

Of course, your bias and elitism lets you forget things like that.

And this is were your arguement falls apart. No pro player complains that Spawn Larva is tedious.

I'm currently using a 25 second mp3. It plays a sound at the end of the file to tell you when the ability is ready. I simply set a hotkey in winamp to reset the timer. You can call it cheating if you want, but there's not much you can do about it. And yes, it helps a ton.

LOL thatsjust win. you need to make a fuss with blizz over thism, ath the official forums.. if they realize queen use is THAT one dimensional & mechanical, they aught to get to work on it!

See this is whats wrong. Everyone says that these mechanics are just hit every 25 seconds.[...]

we're saying its principally wrong that you are favoured by playing a 25 second sound-clip to remind you to do an action that does not involve any profound decision-making.... it doesnt matter if anyone will ever actually master it or not!, the fact that the task of (closing on) mastering it is to such a large extent purely mechanical - when it could be something deeper while also being mechanical!

I hate to break it to you but you can do the same thing with making workers etc...




Furthermore, It doesnt need to have profound decision making. Where does this idea that every action needs to be this incredibly strategic decision come from? Consider if the Queen had two abilities

Spawn Worker Larva (can only be made into worker)
Spawn Non-worker Larva (can be made into anything but a worker)

Look now you have to choose which one you want to do! See its that choice you wanted but was totally not there before

Does this make you significantly better player? I'm interested to know!

this would give the queen more tension, yes.

i agree its a somwhat silly notion, but it gets the job done.

Sigh



I think that statement more than anything else sums up how incredibly detached from reality the "everything must have choice!" side is.

Well I've only been doing it for a day, and I'm sure your results may vary. For me it has certainly helped. The cooldown on the hatchery is about the same amount of time it takes for the Queen to generate 25 energy. My current goal is to never let that energy get above 40, and I'm doing pretty good so far.

I changed my sound file from 25 to 28 since I was always a little early. I'm using ctrl+r as the hotkey to trigger play in winamp. Then it's just R, click, ctrl+r.

i wouldnt prefer it to the current SL; thats jsut butchering SL that in itself works well.

i'd rather see something SL-like added - some new ability that ineracts with hacheries / larvas, like an ability that makes eggs hach faster but at 50% health (regenerating to 100%) and abilities disabled for 30 seconds (to avoid burrow/regen-abuse)

See your conflicted. I gave the queen the same choice you wanted (two different abilities competing with each other). However you still choose the more elegant current version which adds the same choice to gameplay just without two different button icons.
