Hey TL!
Well when I got home from the SC2 midnight launch I decided to get in my placements right away before the server got overloaded. In two of my matches i got caught up chatting with my opponent (including the asshole that told me Diamond is not a word, and the other guy who asked me if I was sure I'm in charge of iCCup TV), and tanked 2 of my matches badly.
I am now in the silver league  .....
I am trying to think of funny stuff to do with Protoss while cruising my way throught the silver ranks (normally a low to mid level Diamond player). I may not be a TLO but I shoudl have no issue doing w/e I want. So I want to do some fun and funny stuff to keep myself interested (think like in TLOwnage).
So far I've come up with writing "iCCup TV" in pylons on the map. What other insane things should I do? I feel like Protoss is limited on humiliation tactics (we need Ravens!), and could use some ideas. Replays will of course be included if you want, but I'm going to be laddering tonight so I need ideas!
Thanks in advance!

mass hallucinate to freak your opponent out. Like go 4 warpgate zealot sentry and make like 10 colossus.
mass pheonix
forcefield block mining
midgame cannon rush with a warp prism probe drop
|
Writing with pylons, mass sentries/forcefield, mass pheonix/grav beam, just use your imagination =)

I thought about this but I don't even think silver players will fall for this. Could be wrong though.
mass pheonix
I do this in regular games all the time as it is. It would not be much of a stretch for me lol!
forcefield block mining
ooooooooooooooooooooooooo. That's a fantastic idea sir! Sentry drops ftw!
|
Probes/Cannons only the whole game. You can also get defense upgrades... I'll let it slide

That's not a bad one either.
As for the people saying Mass Pheonix, I do that as one of my main PvZ builds so it woudn't be allt hat different for me. Pheonix contains are absurd !
|
Diamond players fall for this iCCup.Diamond. Not many people use hallucinate or get detection. Heck, standard ZvP vs 4 warpgate doesn't get a fast overseer. I had fun with 4 warpgate hallucinated zealots to wins tons of games. Ravens and obs are also reasonably rare, considering how fast hallucinate researching. Hallucinate 1-2 colossus if you want to b e more subtle, but if its a bad player they won't realize its impossible to get that many colossus that fast.
|
Build carriers.
Reaver, I mean....Collosus Drop. With proxy Robo and collosus tech.
Iono...make stuff up. That's always fun.
|
block nexus/command center with pylons (like manner pylon in sc1 but as it won't work now...)
If you want to have some fun off-race block his ramp with a few changelings, see if he falls for it.
otherwise, templar drops and feedback the queens :D
|
Not sure if it's even possible to manner pylon anymore, but if it is you should screw around with a really bad player by doing this:
Immediately send one probe off to a somewhat out of the way expansion while your remaining probes gather minerals. Start warping in the nexus as soon as possible and then when you have the minerals, manner pylon your remaining probes. Then when your opponent comes to scout, bombard him with help messages. Hopefully your opponent is bad enough for you to overcome the disadvantage.
Keep in mind I'm not sure how viable this is as I don't play multiplayer one bit. 
Edit: And according to the post above me, you can't really manner pylon anymore?

I have a great build that I use. Essentially it is a Mothership rush, because you rush a Mothership as fast as you possibly can. However, the secret behind the build, is to start off the game with "sup im going to mothership rush you". And then you do it. And they never see it coming.
|
Mothership rush.
EDIT: Dang it... Late...
EDIT 2: 4 minutes late, apparently. What the heck?
|
Dunno, why think about it so much... Just wing it & come up with something that feels fun at the moment.

1 gate 1 stargate +1 air attack (Phoenix harass) expand is my favorite PvZ build.
But if your opponents are terrible, perhaps you should be a whore with blink ninjitsu.
|
Figure out carrier micro?
Do that and I'll be your fan forever
|
go for a pure sentry build.
|
attack the cybernetics core?
|
can u lift larva with graviton? or unburrowed zerg defences? would be totally humiliating
i really like the idea of mass sentrys+hallu. or stupid forcfielding action
with like 5 sentrys u could take his natural and forcefield his ramp forever
|
get like 30 warpgates and a bunch of warp prisms and warp in all the units in his base XD
|
Yeah! Make sure they are templar, since you will have lotsa gas from making all those shuttles...
Then u can make archons! No one makes archons. It's a double insult.
|
Go pure DT one game. Build nothing else.
Also, if you have the time, I'd be really interested to see battle reports of some of these shenanigans :D

Alternatively, Immortal drops.
Cannon rushes are pretty obnoxious. And if your cannon rush fails, build a million cannons in your main and mass void rays ftw. Of course this only works in Silver League, some guy tried to do this to me during placement matches yesterday and I ended up sniping 3 different forges and had 4 stalkers behind his mineral line away from his cannons so he couldn't mine.
Also hallucinating a Void Ray very early against a Terran going mass Marauder or a Zerg going early Roaches/mass lings is also hilarious. Sometimes they will gg without even noticing it isn't doing any damage.
|
get good with warp prism drops and harass. =/
|
proxy gates in main (cannons afterward)
use lots of archons
use lots of carriers
kill their main with early void rays
stalker/sentry with lots of hallucinated zealots

obviously.
|
do something like a pylon wall-off. and you can always /dance your entire army during a battle for kicks, but sadly toss lacks the hydra thrilla dance.
|
Pylon their mineral lines, just keep doing it. Like build a shuttle(wow hehe) and drop probes in.
Phoenixes are always obnoxios. Build a dt line but with dts, if they're really bad they will be like "wtf hax."
Do the nazgul and just continuosly forcefield their ramp. Or expanding on the above forcefield their mineral line lol.
|
Building units and structures as protoss is pretty obnoxious.
Seriously pretty much everything protoss has is fucking obnoxious.
|
14 nexus into 8 warp gate.
|
Can you give vision in SC2? Give them vision at the start of the game, and then beat them anyway.
|
send 2 probes to harass pvt early and see how long you can delay his rax for

You could probably survive with the 14 nexus because lower level players are super passive no?

This is my favorite thing ever.

Mothership hallucination.
If that's even possible, I have no idea...
