Btw, I have successfully broken my initial hotkeys without breaking my fingers. It took me roughly 100 games to get comfortable though. Sometimes I still struggle with my new layout in late game, but I feel now I have much better control of my army
1 -army (zealots, sentries, immortals, voidrays, carriers)
2 -more army (stalkers, colossi, mothership)/scouting probe/scouting stalker #1
3 -MOAR ARMY (HT, phoenix, DT's, warp prism, harass party)/scouting probe #2/FE natural probe/scouting stalker #2
4 - primary production warpgates/stargates
5 - all nexus
6 - secondary production robo/stargates/warpgates
7-10 - observers, tech building, warp prism, some key units on the map.
I still use double tap on "5" to recall main base (instead of F2 etc.), and click on tech buildings. Guess I'll need to fix that. Macro warping also takes more apm than it should. I recall main, mouse scroll to location i want to warp (usually it's natural ramp), then recall warpgates, and do the warp magic. I want to force myself into using screen controls, and do F2-F4 for bases. Idk how will it work out.
My apm (as calculated by sc2gears) is very low, averaging 90 in 1v1 games. When I played wc3, I had 140-150. Since sc2 is supposed to be more apm-intensive, I'm really questioning whether I'm doing things right.
We must be TWINS! I use the exact same setup!
1: zealot + sentries
2: stalkers
3: units
4: main chronoboost target
5: nexus
6: second chronoboost target
7: units
8: units
9-0: never use
F1-F3: bases
F4-F6: gateways
F7-F8: never use
