The toss beating T and Z in lower leagues might be more about cannon rushes than anything else. That one type of cheese is extremely prevalent there. Tweaking that should be fairly strait-forward to do if they feel it's necessary, although such changes might impact toss FEs quite a bit. | ||

To me, that makes zero sence  I think that the nitro nerf is pretty ok, cause at this moment in the game you could have a unit like stalker of helion to defend against reaper, but its your fault if you don't build one. The supply depot prerequisite is imho really not necessary. They should play some rush games on steppes of war and some maps especially with a big ramp and see if they can hold of with a gold player level micro early aggression. | ||

In team games, if you play PP , you can build a gateway in your ally's warp-field, cant you? | ||

Zerg Drone 50 (17 sec) Pool 200 (65 sec) --------------------------- 250 minerals (82 sec) Protoss Pylon 100 (25 sec) Gateway 150 (65 sec) --------------------------- 250 minerals (90 sec) Terran Supply depot 100 (30 sec) Barracks 150 (60 sec) --------------------------- 250 minerals (90 sec) I know the calculation for zerg isn't really accurate as you don't need to build a drone before pool. But due to you losing the drone and having to make a new one to get back to previous amount of drones - as well as lost income - I feel it should be counted, to be on equal terms after the production of the buildings. | ||

You should count it for mineral cost, but you can be building that new drone at the same time as the pool is building. Zerg pressure is 250 mineral (65 sec) Edit: That being said, I think there's far too much QQ about Depot before rax, and I play Terran. | ||

You will regain unit control once these structures are automatically built in this order." Talk about killing a game's diversity just because people complain too much... Well...honestly, welcome to the club. Zerg has so few viable builds, now everyone else might know what that feels like. EDIT: I really agree with you, I just wish that Blizz was going to diversify zerg instead of homogenizing everyone else. | ||

The threat matters more than the execution. It allows the opponent to play much greedier if rax first isn't an option, despite it being used infrequently. Think about in BW if rax required depot. The only thing stopping protoss from going 12 nex every single game was the threat of the proxy rax first. Because those kinds of greedy openings had an auto-lose % to rax first, they were done far less often than they would have been if terrans were unable to do that build. this. Also, I haven't read a ton of this thread, but in the maybe 8 or so pages I've looked at I've seen no mention of tvt. Hyperdub beat TLO with a proxy 2 rax, building the first on 8/11 supply and the second on 11/11 supply. First marine started on 10/11 and was the 11/11th supply. There are other proxy rax builds in tvt, though probably used less often. But people will still try a reaper proxy now and then. Summary: marine was started and a second barracks was building BEFORE any supply depot. Which means with this patch, none of this would happen. Starcraft has cheeses in it and it's part of the game. TvT is guarenteed to have 0 cheese early on now. Hell, your scout is basically worthless as he can't see anything. Just send a late scout to check for position; there is no reason to send a scout earlier as the 12rax builds its marine before anything tactical happens. | ||

I bet if Terran players explore the mid-game harass with reapers they're gonna be even more dangerous than the expected reaper rush. Speedlings hard counter slow reapers. The speed upgrade of the Zerglings usually kicks in shortly after your first 3 reapers harrassed a little bit. Early reaper openings, which involve one to three reapers at the beginning, won't be viable anymore. And how do you want to use them in the midgame? Protoss might have chargelots, stalkers, colossi and/or phoenixes. Zerg will have roaches, infestors and/or mutalisks. TvT almost always involves tanks and marauders, maybe banshees, too. Even if you perfectly hide reapers from the enemy, which is highly improbable, you'd have to sneak them into some enemie's base without encountering any of his main forces, because anything can hard counter them. | ||

But seriously, as a zerg player, I see no reason for Terran to have to build a depot before a barracks. | ||

I'm wondering if someone could explain the depot before barracks complaining to me though, i used to play terran before zerg and depot before barracks never really affected my wall-in's and the only time i would go barracks before depot was to perform some kind of proxy cheese or to fend off some lulzy tactics in 2v2's | ||
