I'm in masters league and still use it sometimes, and only on close spawns metal/LT and steppes vT/P. Bunkers shut it down pretty well. You really do need to inflict some damage or you will be hopelessly behind. I use a 14 pool based build with an expo behind it. Roaches pop at 5:05 game time. Using an ovie to spot high ground is huge. Allows you to still inflict damage even if forcefields or bunkers go up. Also if villain isn't paying attention you can sometimes snipe off his sentry before he can throw ff.

Dimaga said to me that 7RR is a semi-all-in.
Im using this macro follow up too and must say its very good vs terr/protoss if executed right.
The goal is to snipe some buildings, a couple workers but most importantly - impose your game.
Key things to remember:

1. Overlord at the ramp.
2. Pull back if cant inflict big damage. Better have 7 ill roaches heal up at home while macroing than having to use larvae to defend.
3. Even if he scouts and defends perfectly, you can pull back, have a safe expo, know exactly which tech path you forced him and also deny any kind of FE.

Problem with 7rr is how easy it is to scout and how quickly you will get behind when it fails (not if. when.).

If the terran or protoss comes out of it with a cost efficient trade, you will lose. It needs to do damage or a decent player can macro safely and kill you. It's an all in. Anyone past gold league should have no trouble with this.

@jungeMann -- Not sure why the bump, am I missing something new?-- 7RR is even worse now that FFE is generally preferred over 3gate expand. as Leargle mentioned, its ridiculously easy to scout and thus to defend, and since you sacrifice so much econ to get the roaches out you will be really far behind, likely without even getting inside their main.
