I've been on and off SC2 for quite sometime. I always come back because I to be able to work on my mechanics. Currently I Fluate from Gold and silver. This is the interesting part I'm silver because I lose so many games working in mechanics and then when I get so fed up I end up winning games when I go back to my old original style.
My old style is like this CC on 1, 5 tax, 6 fact, 7 port. 2, 3, 4 are for army but I normally only use 1. This I normally hit with 100ish APM AVG by the end if the game. Even with my success with this setup when I'm being attack from different positions and stuff I just choke because my hot keys don't go from base to base. All my CC"s are on one hotkey so when u double tap 1 it may take me to my third base even though I want to quickly go to my main base that just got doomed dropped.
So I did some research. I found that there are these things called camera locations. I've set them up though F5 to F12. So now I can quickly go between my bases. I've changed my CC hotkey to 0 allowing me to more easily using multiple hotkeys for my army 1,2,3. 5,6,7 are still production and even 8 for upgrades. But the fact of the matter I'm all set but now because my layout is so different sometimes I hit a wrong key or it just takes me longer to process but buttons to press. When I get it right it is fantastic. But other times when in the early game I try to use 1 to send SCV scout while 2 is supped to be building Depot and then Rax at my ramp while producing a SCV I mess up. Often times accidentally lifting off my command center or even having the scouting SCV going back into my base without knowing anything what my oppoent is doing
Should I go with my new method work in it or just continue to use my old method but performs really bad when trying to go somewhere spin the minimap where I not hotkeyed?
Also what is your hotkey layout (For fun if you want haha)?
