Warp Gates vs. Regular Gateways

No reason for the extra key strokes. Hit the key for the unit you want then hold shift, and you can just click where you want the units. If you wanted a mix of units you need to hit the key for the new unit when you switch, but generally when i warp units in i seem to want just one or two types at a time.

 

Thanks! That's good to know. I will try it out. I still think the mouse clicks will slow me down, but I am eager to be proven wrong!

 

UPDATE: tried it an I am addicted. The <shift> factor was key. Now I make Warp Gates every game--in fact, most of the time it's the first thing I spend my gas on. The 33% higher production speed means that early on you get quick units, and later on you don't need as many Gateways. It's also nice to be able to crank out stalkers immediately if you get air rushed unexpectedly.

 

i too hated warp gates when i first played beta but i got used to it and with the shift spam warpin, it is so much more convenient.

 

warp gates are great, they build units faster but the research for the warpgates is so long that it seems like forever to wait for it to be researched. by the time it does get researched a rush isnt viable i dont think.

 

I am having trouble with this shift clicking units out of warpgates, could you explain it in a bit more detail. I'm liking the warpgates, but just not using them to their potential to warp in new units across the map because it seems to take too long

 

Just hold the shift when warping in units. That lets you create a unit out of each warpgate without having to keep selecting what unit to make. With that, I could make 5 units out of 5 separate warpgates in less than 2 seconds.

 

you guys do realize you can still build units while researching for warp gates right.......?
So technically you are just going from 33s to faster (23s)
