EPT1) Blocking ramps - This is quite awesome, although mostly used zvz
2) Ring around the rosy and praying to survive/delay because for some reason protoss like to waste time with their early zealots, and queens are everyone's big target
Why are queens not used more often for defense? - Page 3

Here's a rep of the economy build popular here with 3 queens holding a 2 rax bunker rush from a 2400+ Terran, and then late game dream army. http://www.mediafire.com/?2kusqgtl8k1l2l5 | ||

That being said, queens are rarely used in regular builds as anything other than emergency air control because, quite simply, you can't afford to lose your inject queens early game. | ||

I think Queens definatly have their uses in defence early game, but also late game. I played a HUGE 4v4 last night. Z+P+T+T v P+T+T+T. I got rushed at the start by 3 of them and got destroyed with only 2 queens. I ran my drones away and rebuilt in allies naturals (yes both of them) Long story short the late game came with me having demolished 2 of them and starting on the 3rd when 10 battlecrusers popped out in an allies base coming for me.... FUUUUU..... I had NO gas for defences and ended up spamming queens, luckly allies had anti air and i didnt have to use them. Final push comes, marines and 9 battlecrusers vs 33 queens, some zerglings and 2 corruptors. Edit: Found the reply of the above game ^ http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/124212-4v4-terran-protoss-zerg-lava-flow Mass Roach at 23mins Ally notices mass queens at 50mins Trap my zerglings on the island FAIL :@ 53mins MASS QUEEN FIGHT 58mins | ||
