If you can show me a way to select units 5 thru 16, using keys, PLEASE show me! I would love it. Having to stop and select then heal sucks.

Someone mentioned clicking in SC2. I have that game and never saw any other way to play but click. Same for any RTS really.

You can keybind everything except choosing which spot to move to move in SC2.

I just have to bump this because I posted when this was on page 17 (or 37 ...) and it's still going! Definitely cool to see a 50/50 perspective on this. OP should consider a poll to see just how many folks keybind versus pure-click.

Actually, clickers in SC2 are laughed at even more than clickers on MMOs. Go to a Starcraft tournament and you'll find it literally impossible to find a single pro player that clicks a single thing in that game, except for selecting units and where to move/attack.

Which class do you think is best to practice keybinding/strafing/whatever else on? I currently have a 50 vanguard and I'm doing fine with clicking. I get anywhere between 1st and 4th in damage + protection.
No one is saying you can't "get by" or "do okay" with clicking. The argument is the keybind is faster and more efficient. So if you care about becoming a better player, then switch to keybinds. If you don't, then just keep enjoying the game as you have been. Easy as that.

Once I started PvP'ing at level 50, I learned how inefficient it was. I was always accidentally clicking the unlock button and accidentally moving/deleting skills and then taking 10 seconds of finding a place to hide to put the skill back in the bar. As an Inf Shadow, this was debilitating considering the amount of skills we have and the amount of mobility we need to be effective.

I was awkward. I was just plain bad. Then I unbound my keyboard turns and mapped A/D to strafe. I bound my main attacks to Q, E, R, F, C, G, V, T, X. It became a whole new game for me. I was effective. I was actually having fun.

I am sure there are clickers/keyboard turners that are good. Are they effective? Probably. Are they efficient? I can't see how.

Play how you like. Don't let anyone tell you how to play. I only suggest you try it for a little bit and if you don't like it, switch back. However, I think many will be surprised.

Once again, my name is Kilmar and I used to be a clicker.
T his sounds like a great idea. Might try it some time

so some clickers can get pretty damned efficent with clicking
You're biased because it's your wife!

I've been in many top end raiding guilds, even a top 100. The recruitment officers would sometimes get so anal they'd require video proof or screenshots if they heard you're a clicker. A bit extreme if you ask me, but the point is still there.

I do however think that clicking is suitable for casual non PvP related gameplay.

Lol, just.. Lol. Maybe you should do some research on top tier SC2 gamers? You're just spilling out nonsense with no actual facts.
