By the way, when Protoss Nexus first, we need to go Nexus Forge Gateway/Cannon Pylon. Zerg doesn't need to invest in a Spine crawler, or whatever, to be safe, and I can tell you that if Protoss had the option to be safe against any all-in or 6pool going Nexus Gateway Pylon Cyber, we would.

That's not really the point. Zerg players can Hatch first safely in TvZ, for example, whereas Terran players can't necessarily CC first safely.


yes they can its even safe to quickly get 3 CCs in TvZ

The reason you get a Hatch against Terran is because you need the production, not the Drones.


no its becasue you need the econ, you dont even have to make units for a good while unless they bunker rush noone goes hatch first and then makes a ton of lings to prepare for an attack unless its a bunker rush

Pool against Toss is not just to kill Pylon blocks, but also because you get a quicker Queen, which means your Injects will quickly put you ahead of a quick Hatch.


no the injects wont, the reason you go pool first is 100% because of pylon blocks

We can't come at you with 2x the units just because we opened Nexus first


on one base you 4 gate on 2 bases you 8 gate, sounds like twice as many units

you dont really seem to understand basic logic, the faster you expand the better your economy will be thats a fact and cannot be disputed by anything, placing a hatch first will 100% of the time give you more econ then ANY other build

same deal with nexus first, it gives you a noticeable econ lead over non-nexus first builds

well congratulations cause Blizz gave you the motherhip core

there now your safe agaisnt everything

You can get twice as many gateways, and twice as many gate units, but by the time you'd be hitting with that, especially against Terran, your advantage is negated because their critical tech such as stim etc kicks in. His point that Protoss don't simply gain a much better army from economy-focused builds is correct because unlike Zerg, they need to add on the additional production, and tech to make use of it.

Nexus first is currently punishable by decent players, myself and others here dislike the Mothership Core for negating the ability to pressure greedy openings. Greedy builds should BE greedy builds, not standard play. It's why I and many others hate the Queen change, Zerg gets a much safer path to the lategame where they're already really strong.

isnt purify only 20 seconds long? 75 energy?....bait them to cast it then wait till its done and now an easy victory. all this can be adjusted in beta, purify could require a core upgrade, who knows

Maybe if they have literally nothing else, but smart players won't use it at the first sign of trouble anyway. Good players as it is can hold a lot of Terran pressures with nexus first builds due to how refined they've got the opening down, mothership core will make that process so much easier.

Why are people mentioning the possibility of spine rushes anyway? Is there some change to the overlord spread creep or something that I'm unaware of?

At that stage of the game, small amounts of gateway units are damn good against small amounts of bio anyway. Nexus first, as the game stands is a risky but surprisingly safe build unless it's scouted super early, or blind-cheesed. With the added bonus of a death cannon I don't see how it's not going to become close to standard.

Incidentally I play Protoss and I dislike the mothership core, I feel the risk/reward element of SC2 decision-making is being eroded more and more.

Why do overlords poop creep at the evolution chamber stage anyway? I mean, I genuinely don't see why Zerg need that buff

Your argument went from being weak to just being a stream of tears.

Another one bites the dust.

TL:DR; i have no more arguments since you so amazingly destroyed them so im just going to call you a winer and pretend to take the moral highground to hide my lack of evidence that pool first gives you more economy than hatch first

yes they can its even safe to quickly get 3 CCs in TvZ

The reason you get a Hatch against Terran is because you need the production, not the Drones.


no its becasue you need the econ, you dont even have to make units for a good while unless they bunker rush noone goes hatch first and then makes a ton of lings to prepare for an attack unless its a bunker rush

Pool against Toss is not just to kill Pylon blocks, but also because you get a quicker Queen, which means your Injects will quickly put you ahead of a quick Hatch.


no the injects wont, the reason you go pool first is 100% because of pylon blocks

We can't come at you with 2x the units just because we opened Nexus first


on one base you 4 gate on 2 bases you 8 gate, sounds like twice as many units

you dont really seem to understand basic logic, the faster you expand the better your economy will be thats a fact and cannot be disputed by anything, placing a hatch first will 100% of the time give you more econ then ANY other build

same deal with nexus first, it gives you a noticeable econ lead over non-nexus first builds

By the way, when Protoss Nexus first, we need to go Nexus Forge Gateway/Cannon Pylon. Zerg doesn't need to invest in a Spine crawler, or whatever, to be safe, and I can tell you that if Protoss had the option to be safe against any all-in or 6pool going Nexus Gateway Pylon Cyber, we would.


well congratulations cause Blizz gave you the motherhip core

there now your safe agaisnt everything

Well not to be a dick, but I at least attempted to address the points you made with my thoughts and I didn't see any kind of response to them

?

You equated the difference between Forge --> Nexus and Nexus first to 4gating vs 8 gating. You're dumb and wrong.

By the way, MS Core costs gas, so either way we're cutting something. No Protoss is going Pylon Gate Nexus in the way that Zerg can go Overlord Pool Hatch.

The point is that Hatch first is more economical than Nexus first to begin with. 14 Pool then Hatch isn't really less economical than Nexus first in the sense that Zerg players aren't way behind when the Protoss Nexus firsts, hence why every PvZ isn't the Protoss player being ahead economically.

If you think Nexus first needs to be dealt with, then you need to show that there's actually a problem in PvZ right now where Protoss has a stronger economy. You can't, because they don't.

You need to realize that different races are different and that Zerg not being able to safely go Hatch first every game isn't the same a Protoss being able to go Nexus first safely. It's actually more like Protoss being able to go Nexus first, then Gateway without getting a Forge at all. That's our equivalently greedy build which dies to basically any Ling pressure whatsoever.

i dont see any of your posts disagreeing with me

You equated the difference between Forge --> Nexus and Nexus first to 4gating vs 8 gating. You're dumb and wrong.


you said that pool first gives you a better econ then ahtch first and people only hatch first for more production (implying its needed as army)

By the way, MS Core costs gas, so either way we're cutting something. No Protoss is going Pylon Gate Nexus in the way that Zerg can go Overlord Pool Hatch.


because Zerg and Protoss are different races, but one gate expand is possible and pylon forge nexus (practically the same thing) is safe

The point is that Hatch first is more economical than Nexus first to begin with. 14 Pool then Hatch isn't really less economical than Nexus first in the sense that Zerg players aren't way behind when the Protoss Nexus firsts, hence why every PvZ isn't the Protoss player being ahead economically.


ya because protoss units are 1000000000 times more cost effective so Zerg need to be able to get the econ advantage

If you think Nexus first needs to be dealt with, then you need to show that there's actually a problem in PvZ right now where Protoss has a stronger economy. You can't, because they don't
.

i never said that Nexus first is a problem that should be dealt with i said its good for every race to have options to punish builds like that

Agreed on the mothership core, technically agreed on the 2x economy allows a 4 gate to = an 8 gate, but I feel the latter point isn't as relevant because the timing of that sort of push isn't particularly dangerous at all. Either you cut probes to get it up, in which case you don't have 2x the economy of a saturated 1 base play, or you delay to get that saturation and delay the push until it's pretty bad.
