And plus, good players dont use these cheap tricks! Good players do use them, if it has a relatively high chance of succeeding. It's the very cheap tricks that allow you to get ahead of your opponent. As for stopping cannon rushing, the best medicine is scouting. | ||

It'll take 90 hits from workers to kill the thing by the time it completes. A worker attacks every 1.5 seconds, so you can get off 16 volleys before it completes, so that's at least 6 workers attacking it from the moment it starts building, to kill the thing. Compared to a Photon Cannon, with 150/150 and builds in 40 seconds... 68 hits to kill the Cannon, 26 volleys in 40 seconds, only 2.5 workers needed. So, throw 3 or 4 workers on it (because they'll arrive late) and you'll easily kill it before it completes. Take the same concept to the Pylon and you're talking about 9 workers needed to kill a Pylon if you react to it being built. If you just assume a 5-second late arrival of the Probes, then it'll take 7 (6.9) workers to kill the Pylon and 3 (2.6) workers to kill the Photon Cannon. | ||

Screw the pylons, that would just be 200 min he wasted. Usually cannon rushes aren't that obvious though. | ||
