Every noob in top 10 diamond with 50 apm is doing it - What's your counter to it? You can spot him stopping gas production at 50, and mass chronoboosting his gate way upgrade. If I take my 2nd gas - or any gas at all, I'm dead. PvP is truly a cheese, or be cheesed - and it pisses me off. It shouldn't take 160+ apm to beat someone with 10.   | ||

Because in PvP you have to macth the units, so match the gateways he has, so you have to 4gate yourself too... It's pretty annoying, yes | ||

If the position is close, chronoboost your first zealot to his base. Korean 4 gate build usually does not build any units in order to get those 4 gateways asap. You can do a lot of damage. Otherwise, you basically have to match him by chronoboosting your warp gate totally but make sure you constantly pumps out units from your gateway. You can put down 4 gate + make units because if you go normal pvp build, you'll have the better economy. Especially since he has to throw down a lot of pylons. Once you survive the first wave, you're fine because after that your warp gate are done. It is only about stopping the first wave of warp ins with your gateway units + probes without suffering much damage. | ||

At low diamond level, I can get away with going DTs against this, but at the higher levels, I find that that you just have to 4 gate too. This way, it doesn't take 160+ APM to beat someone with 10 APM. It only takes 11 APM. | ||

Four gates in general and the korean one in particular are very easy to scout in the early game, there are many tells for them (cutting probes, saving CB etc etc). Korean 4gate is most of the time started up by a 10gate which is a super obvious tell. Don't cry to blizzard about the game being broken just because you lack of understanding. And why not provide an answer to his post (a good counter) instead of being just arrogant? | ||

I believe I did help him out by giving him some pointers when it comes to scouting? I am not being arrogant, but you do not open a "help me thread" by crying about the game being broken and then mucking his "10 apm" opponents who should not be able to beat him if it wasn't for this "one imbalanced build". I usually like to add 3 gates and just defend it by 4gating on my own. I see people who like to use canons but remember not to overcommit to static defence since they can put 3 works back on gas and get stalkers which can really mess with any canons/simcity wall. | ||

I think a big problem is that a lot of people make stalkers and sentries still, and that's no good. Just keep making zealots and micro them. So many people don't micro their zealots. | ||

Warpgate upgrade is actually rather slow, you have to realize that protoss spend a ton of their CB on getting it up. In my opinion it would be better to buff normal gates making them as fast as warpgates (so that the only benefit with warpgate is being able to create units anywhere) and then make the upgrade 100/75. This would make it so that the protoss would gain from just having normal gates early game since you would not have to pay the cost for warpgates and then you would actually get a defenders advantage in pvp since you would not have to invest in warptech and therefore have an extra gate or more units. | ||

Welcome to the life of a zerg player where one little mistake costs you the game! Yeah, it's a slippery slope, and it's really frustrating when you're losing to players that are clearly mechanically inferior to you. But there ARE ways to play against it, even if they're a LOT harder than pulling off the warpgate rush to begin with. We can debate possible fixes until the cows come home, but in the end assume that Blizzard is not going to fix the issue and play to your best against it. The plus side is once you've got a decent way to play against it you can compete with those top 10 Diamonds with 50APM. | ||
