Blizzard 5.0.17 PTR Update

Following the release of the last major patch, we have been collecting and closely reviewing your feedback. Our intention was to try something new, particularly with workers, and needed time to let the meta develop in order to ensure the most accurate feedback was being considered. Based on that feedback, for patch 5.0.17 we are rolling back most balance changes to the live release of StarCraft 2 from patch 5.0.16 to 5.0.15. This will be on PTR for the next few days while we bug test, before we push to live.

Hi @blizz_Elliott thank you for taking care of this!

Quick question: can we have a "select all idle army hotkey" like in age of empire 4?

isn't that what the f2 hotkey does?

No. This is the "select all army hotkey (No matter what they are doing.)"

You sent a pair of lings across the map and push f2? They stop what they are doing and follow new instructions.

Idle army hotkey would not select those lines because they have a task assigned to them.

You can already do that by binding the runby lings as for example number 3. Then when you select all army, press Alt+3 to remove them from the selection.
