Do you use attack move properly?

Post by Mitoe »

It's come to my attention that noobs like @Hazza54321 are inferior beings who use attack move incorrectly by attack moving and right clicking.

Obviously the superior way is to attack move and left click.

What say you?

Where is 'Leave idle and wait for them to attack move on their own' option?

w8 can u change which mouse click to use?

i thought it was locked to the right click

I agree that left click is superior, took me a month to relearn attack move after playing starcraft 2 and its superiour attack move

this is when we ostracize mitoe from the community, right?
If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.

I tried to use but I kept forgetting in which order the various buttons should be pressed, so I gave up on it and have been drag-boxing ever since.
This was circa 2017.

Most of the time my LB would just walk straight up to their target and engage in a fencing duel.

For a very long time I thought that you had to hold the attack move button while right-clicking, so that's what I do.

I had no idea you could right click. If you a move, you left click in my book

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

There's so much wrong attack moving with left button. It's so much faster to charge with my sepoys after each volley if I don't have to change the button between every action.

Left-click. My brain associates right-clicking with a normal, "hover over the unit and right-click them without attack move" behaviour.

Well obviously right click is the button you use both for moving or attacking with your units. So it only makes sense to also use right click to attack move? Left click is for selection.

Team left click here, same reason as aaryngend.

left click => attack move, bot micro
right click => manual micro

With right click you only risk to click it twice and screw the attack move in the hit of the battle. Left click is more safe.

attack move should act as a click itself, to whatever key you bind it, that would solve any problem.

Left click. Kaiser and Hazza could easily be +5 pr with left click.
Fine line to something great is a strange change.
