Why can't you normally get more than 2 reavers? Because normal people don't have the micro to keep them safe from goons. Why can't you normally go pure zealot/archon? Because the goons will pick off too many of them before they get in range. Why do we never see a stargate? Because goons brutally counter anything that it could make. Literally every unit you can make as protoss gets significantly stronger because of no goons (except for DTs being about the same, maybe only a little better, and corsairs are the same i.e. totally useless) | ||

The follow up gonna be 3robo reavers into some long camping and then carriers... at least thats how i see pvp without goons Feel like their health allows zealots to runby not sure tho | ||

The follow up gonna be 3robo reavers into some long camping and then carriers... at least thats how i see pvp without goons I think somebody should test it out because I'm pretty sure its a lot harder to keep zealots out of your base since they have a lot more health. Soo assuming Ps figure out that they can just FFE will people just start 12 nexing without cannons and just overwhelm the opponent with zealots if they try to attack (Because of the opponents big investment into cannons). Assuming that blocking a 2 gate with probes and 2 cannons is enough it would turn into a 12 nex<2 gate<FFE<12nex kind of metagame-ish thing. And Reaver builds fit somewhere in there, but the question is how exactly do you counter Shuttle reaver (Corsair* xD?) Are people just gonna Bisu build? | ||
