What is microing?

 

[Magi-Viper]

micromanagement ("microing") is the ability to control all your units during combat.

If someone says u got crapy micro, it probly means you don't use your hero skills properly, you chase their hero around the battlefield, you attack the wrong units, you dont run from starfall when u cant kill or stun PotM, ect.

its micro really that seperates an average player from a good one

Micromanaging is a skill that takes many players a very long time to master. A player skilled at micromanaging can often take on a lesser player head-on and not lose a single unit, simply by moving them as they are damaged.

Micromanaging can be as complicated as trapping enemy heroes, targeting enemy spellcasters and casting hero spells all at once, or as simple as attack-moving instead of right-clicking when you move your units. As an example, imagine playing Undead. You are sending your Dread Lord out with five Ghouls that have learned Cannibalize. You face a level 7 creep paired with two level 4 creeps. Without micromanagement you would probably be left without any Ghouls or a hero by the time the creeps are done with you. On the other hand, by having the creeps chase a single Ghoul around in circles as they are attacked, you can minimize damage done to your forces. This is time consuming but can often make or break a battle.

Aside from running away from the enemy, micromanagement can also be used offensively. For instance, trapping an opposing hero with your Ghouls can prevent him from escaping, leading to his death. Targeting specific units is also considered micromanagement, I believe; targeting single enemies with groups of your units may prove to be more effective than having every unit of yours attacking an enemy at random.

Geez, I could go on for days about micromanagement... maybe someone wrote a micromanaging guide somewhere.

but creeps never chase a guy around, they just chose the next suitable enemy!

 

[TNguyen]

i dont mean suitable, i mean next to them or closest to them!

TN, play maps such as micro arena, micro duel, or unit comparison maps. You'll see that 2 good palyers will do everything BUT send there units in to battle and watch em fight, while using a hero skill here and there. If I'm playing a noob, and I have 1 mountain king, and 5 fooetmen, and he has 8 footmen, and 1 mountain king, I could easily out micro him and destroy his army easily. The best players in the world practice and practice their micro skills. And btw...

Making a creep chase around your unit only works in SC doesn't it?
All you need to do is send a damaged unit of yours back out or simply heal him with deathcoil..

There are of course many more.. I've written some in the UD section. Stuff about using banshees when handling magical human..

I have a 88 % win %, I never said anything about being over level 15. It wouldn't be hard at all to do anyhow. Check my profile, my names are listed below.
