Why do you have to hit the "z" key 900 times to train units?  It should be the way it was before, where you select a group and whatever you hit applies to all of them.

Well, I suppose I can see a purpose to it. If you only want a certain amount of something, say 5 Zealots, you know you'll make 5 when you click the button 5 times. You won't need to do any mental math with how many buildings you have selected (say, 4 gateways) multiplied by how many times you've pressed the button. *shrug*

There was no multiple building selection in SC1. So they had to come up with a way to handle it.

It decreases the amount of micro you need, I'd imagine it applies to all the stuff in the game (select a group of HT, and use Psi Storm - only one of them will do it unlike SC1)

Not something I'm happy about either.
Now with 50% more lol, 50% more win, and 100% phlail.

Awesome, so if I have a group of marines about to get raped by Zerglings, I'll have to hit the stim pack button 50 times before they die.  Oh wait, too late.

Oh wait, you don't have Marines, you have a Mac.

Simple things that should be left alone, shows how far Blizzard is trying to take it, too far.

Not interesting at all since it's a complete fallacy.

Beta is a possibility at Q1 but definitely not a release.

Maybe you should write that in your Blizzcon report.

Whatever, if you wanna yell Fallacy! Go ahead, hell you did it already. That does not make it any less the only release suggestion to make the headlines of blizzplanet and starcraftwire, whatever the case it has more credibility then a random outing.
