Watch people like hans, vonivon(not for his throws
) and so on.... I started from the beginning aswel(i stopped playing, but i reached top50(my goal)). After a couple of monts of watching hans' stream and others i got around rank 120. Hotkeys were very important. Everytime i planted a mine i didn't do it with mouse, i forced myself to do it with hotkeys, and so on until i knew how to place buildings.
The longer you watch streamers and the more you play the more information you get and the better you micro gets.
Something very important that has to do with micro is the option to choose between two ways of microing. The option with
TACTICAL MAP and the one without(like hans). Now hans plays without cause he just cant or doesnt want to, and he has the micro to do it. others play with cause they cant without(like me), or they may just like it more. If you've always played without the map its
hard to get used to it, but you just click it when you're about to look at minimap, and you keep reminding yourself of doing it. Sometimes just randomly press it just for you to remember. At the end you normally should automatically push button for the map just to move units for example.
The map helped me so much as
i sometimes forgot my units, and that was my biggest problem. For example a unit isn't capping something while i thought he was in circle. If i wouldn't use the tactical map it would take longer for ME to see that he isnt capping. So as you're waiting on the message of him saying it is captured, it just isn't comming. You can loose squads or keep them idle for so long that it has an effect on your chance of winning the game.
So i started trying to find a solution until i saw people that used the
tactical map. It helps so much cause in that small window it gives you so much information, the posibilty of loosing squads for me decreased much and with idle units the same.
The big
problem with the tactical map, hotkeys and such. They have such a
shitty spot to reach with your hands. So i had to learn autohotkey aswel... But didnt take to long and i had a nice script running that only became better by time. There's so much stuff that's important i wouldn't believe myself if i said i didn't let anything out. By far actually. I mean i just gave a litle information. But atleast you got this bit. gl!
