Ok, So I don't have the luxury of playing against another terran player atm, but I did test to see if roaches could be blocked by 1 queen on shattered temple (the map I was playing) and I got 2 answers. First, on the mlg shat no, you cannot block with 1 queen. On the blizz shat you can block a roach with 1 queen and if I remember correctly roaches and hellions are the same size (matrices).


you can always on any normal ramp block roaches with 1 queen, it just requires the right positioning, check my post above for a replay

This sounds like a silly question but are you "Holding" the queen at the ramp or just moving them there? From my understanding, if you don't "Hold" them, they'll move out the way when an enemy tries to attack. That or chase after them thereby opening the ramp up.

1 queen is enough .. and ofc she needs to be in 'hold' position ;D

I have seen 1 block in a very low amount times. Maybe it is just a sweet spot, but 2 is always what you should put there.

You can block with one, I usually have a spine as well. If you make a spine at the bottom of the ramp, you can just use one queen to block too on certain maps.

My best hellion defense is to wall ramp with two queens and have drones ghost walk through them via clicking on a mineral patch.
