It's a neat idea, but unfortunately it kind of ruins the idea of the 'select all army' hotkey. Leaving some units behind or in different locations on the map isn't serving the functon that the button has. It could also spell trouble for you if you're looking to defend from an all in/attack and you have some units left on hold position at a different base to defend runbys/drops that you could have forgotten about in the heat of the situation. It's a better idea to train yourself to react mechanically in such stages to reassign scouting/defending positions after using the 'select all army' hotkey

This can be helped by becoming more familiar with your control groups and control + shift clicking eggs (as your race is zerg). Becoming less dependent on the F2 key would serve as a positive improvement to any player

Ultimately overlords with the speed upgrade are a great scout and alternative to using scouting positions!

just don't use F2

it really ruins most of your positioning/scouting. If anything just use it for rallies if you absolutely need it....

@Chasu
Thank you for your generous thoughts on this matter ^__^ . I really appreciate it. Well in sense of maintaining a scouting spot, we only need to leave a unit i.e Ling/marine/zealot. Leaving a floating Ov will only make it worse when we start to lose 3 Ov's which equals to a hatchery. >__<. However, when we want to def against an all ins, this is when your opinion really stick into this matter.Becuz yea, we may/sometimes forgot
(especially me =3) about the other army on the other bases. But it also allows us to def against a multi prompt attacks.
Anyway, for now, i will apply your suggestion on not relying on the F2 button as much and react mechanically for such situations. ^__^ oh yeah, Ov speed is super duper sweet! Thank you my friend !

I like this idea on improving the F2 button, but some people use the F2 button for screen locations (including me

) so I'm not so sure if changing the F2 button to doing that command will help that much? And besides, I think if you have good enough multitasking / high APM , you won't have much problem with that scouting and Hold stuff

@OD.ProzeR

I agree..but yeah, it's for the sake of other new players actually. Those who find handling too much tasks is chaotic at the early stages of playing the game. ^__^ Plus sometimes we miss-clicked and everything . HeHe ..Thanks for your consideration mate =3
