Why isn’t it an option? Its an essential part of zerg play, you cannot win with Zerg (early game cheese aside) unless you inject with queens.
Feels like needless APM waste. Sure, top players can do it in a second, but for most, its an annoyance to do every X seconds.
Why can’t we just toggle it on autocast?
This is about like that one topic where somebody asked why we cant just autobuild workers. facepalm
Auto-building workers and auto-injecting are two entirely different things.
Apples & Oranges.

Why can’t we autocast mules and chronoboosts?
The answer is simple: you get to decide whether to use mules or scan, what to chronoboost, whether to use inject, transfuse, or spread creep. Putting an autocast on injecting removes that level of decision making.
No, it does not. You simply don’t toggle it on if you want manual injects. Very simple.
I wish my larva turned into overlords when i got supply blocked
It’s very simple guys hotkey your queens and hatchery you can make endless larvae
Because like mules and Chrono it is a macro mechanic, and since each one is intended to be each races’ equivalent of each other it would be unfair for one race to be autocast. Plus injects are not difficult in any way except remembering to do it, if that can be called difficult, and autocasting injects bears the potential of harming energy Banks for transfuse while also removing a skill check put in place to reward the extra effort made by players better able to multitask.
I’ve found a simple solution to this myself as a zerg player you put all you queens on one hot key then you do shift + v which is the inject button then you simply toggle through your base cameras and click on the hatcheries
Rebinding base camera to spacebar makes this very fast, works like a charm
and then hit “stop” so the queens don’t wonder off too far.
you don’t need autocast for mules are boosts cause you’re always deciding what to chronoboost, which line to drop mules at, or drop scan. it’s not the same way with inject queens - the ones standing next to hatcheries ALWAYS inject, they always repeat the same action with exactly same target. automating that would be a QoL update while doing same for other macro mechanics would take something away from the player
Auto cast would be balance and it would be fair.
Unlike the mule unless you miss 5 cycles you didnt waste any time since you can drop all 4 mules you didnt waste or lose anything. Is it best to one after another. To be fair if cast mule goes on cool down then it be fair.
So unless u want to nerf mule then auto cast is best balance option.
