In Dota 2, you have the option to enable “Hold ctrl to command all units”
Where if you hold Ctrl it issues a command to everyone of your units on the map, be it move, attack, ect. Very useful for any kind of summoner in that game.
Of course I don’t want the exact same thing here, as you have less units in that game, however it would be absolutely amazing to have the option if:
While you have a hero selected, holding control issues a command to every combat(not builder/shade, ect) unit + Ward units within X Radius, I’m not sure what the exact radius would need to be, be it 1,200/1,500/1,800 probably just let people pick the activation radius.
But it would be an absolute god send quality of life feature.
Could even let people customize it more, set specific hot keys for Melee Vs Ranged units.
Like holding ctrl issues the commands to only melee units(or those less than 300 range) while holding shift only applies to units with longer ranges.
Far as I can tell it would be a vast improvement to the micro of Warcraft 3.
Looks like a F2 key in SC2. It’s all units selected without workers.
I think it’s okay to add this feature to single player, but against to multiplayer.
Multiplayer would be the whole point lol, brings way more people into the game if you can just move straight here from Dota 2 or LoL, ect.
The main point is not having the delay for selecting units, nor having to constantly manage control groups. It lets you just focus fire and control unit movement better.
I’m confused, don’t you normally only control one unit in dota 2?
Naw there’s tons of summons, illusions, and wards to control as well usually.

I’d prefer a RTS not be made in to a MOBA clone. I don’t want to come from playing a MOBA to an RTS only to have it be a MOBA wannabe.
All it does is speed up everyone’s micro, bringing people to a higher level more quickly, also avoids any mistakes one may make trying to micro units.
Undead is probably the only race it would affect the most, since ghouls also do their lumber. Just needs a deactivation flag if a ghoul had recently been collecting lumber.
