Go muta and scout well? It's pretty hard to hide your tech in PvZ so if you suspect something fishy with your OL then just go muta instead of hydra. It's not like your hurting yourself because Muta is a good viable opening.

When the toss goes tech I normally go 3 hatch tech. Get mutas and get lurkers. 6 or more mutas and a few hydras will block off any reaver/sair attack on your base. I also make a sunk in main base and expo too just to be sure.

With mutas you can fight off any reaver/dt drop, and with lurkers you can fight off any mass zeal/temp he tries. You are also in a better position to macro hard while skimping defences. And if he still follows up with goon/reaver/sair, just make mass mass mutas and scourge, also try to keep him from expanding. Burrowing lurks or lings there is what I usually do. 2 base zerg beats 1 base goon/reaver any day.

Overrall I found this approach vs protoss tech the most effective.

Mutas own dropships and reaver. Sunkens in mineral line also rapes reaver drop.

Spire versus One gate opening is usually a good build anyway. He's either going to fast expo or tech, and spire stops both because one gate => high templar is just ... not done.

Against the sair/dt rush you get scourges.

Against Reaver, you get mutas.

Against fast expo you get harrassment value and force cannons.

i always develop burrow for my lings. if rvr drop comes i can save most of my economy. rvr drop that fails to destroy eco, zerg is in advance imo.

Two scourge are seriously your best bet. Reavers lack mobility. Take away the shuttle and they are just slugs waiting to be salted.

Sometimes you get them before he unloads too. Then you are really in good shape.

you have overlords for recon and to detect shuttles. use them (not literally speaking using them for combat; they cant attack). a pair of scourge on those darn shuttles, and a single muta to take out the unloaded reaver. no excess of mutas necessary unless there is a dragoon in the cargo as well. in that case make 2 mutas. recon is everything.

reaver is hard to stop late game because then they usually have more weapons and options to choose from.

if you're dying to reaver early game you should scout better or get a spire earlier.

theyr defenseless vs mutas. make more mutas if you have to if the reavers are churned out faster than you can kill them

Reaver sair can be powerful, but its tricky buisness. -_- I find stormers are needed in addition for any late game proficency.

Yeah burrow is an excellent idea, but if he has a robo, he may also have obs which would render your little burrow idea ineffective. Usually if a toss gets tech that fast (only 1 gate) then he dies very quickly to hydra rush -_-. Hydra's are probally the best counter to reaver drops, or any tech that toss does.
Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

Try burrow! When he drops reavers just have your drones burrowed while waiting for your other units to kill that ugly worm...
