"what do you do against walls, comm pushes and when/why would you use a comm push"

First, what to do against walls: You honestly can't do much against walls if you try to take them head on except try to push forward and take them down with infernos. If you see walls and units behind them either go around the walls somehow or build pelters and shoot over them.

Comm pushes: If there's a comm push then there's going to be walls, repeat as stated above or try and go in for the commander kill with your units by targeting the commander, you're units will shoot over walls and attack the commander since the comm is so tall (same thing for turrets behind walls). Using booms doesn't work too well since a comm push is normally followed by a bunch of units. The only time booms can be effective is when the opponent doesn't know how to uber cannon.

When/why would you use a comm push: Now I can only talk from experience and personal opinion here, but I use comm pushes a ton, especially when I need to push back enemy units that are advancing forward into my base. A commander push is literally a commander push; meant to be used to push things back and/or make an advance on enemy territory and capture it. If done properly, comm pushes are also extremely effective mid game (that point when enemy has a lot but doesn't have t2, this especially in ranked maps or small-ish maps). The comm push can take out a ton of units and can allow your units to push forward into an enemy base. The way I see it, the commander is an extremely powerful unit and should be used accordingly.

I thought this would be shorter (279 words hehe)

and suddenly the enemy starts to build infernos while you are comm pushing and you die gloriously
