yup, you should try making some banshiee instead of useless raven ^^
Counters will be vr/immortals/zealots/maybe some sentries, and they are not affected by raven's PDD. Worst, raven can 'force' the Protoss to make units you don't want too see :x

Further down the page, it's pointed out that Dark Templar rushes, which otherwise demolish this build, are nullified by the Raven. It's a safeguard for that weakness, and not useless at all.

what time do you get the raven out? a good dt rush usually hits between 7:00-7:30

Terrans should really really stop focusing on "all in" recipes, and try to improve as overall players, Jinro style (and eventually you will get results, as Jinro).

The build, as many others terrans all-ins (full rines, maka raks, tank-rine-bunker, cloack-banshee rush, 3raks, polt, thor rush....jesus) sounds strong, but that does not detract the fact that those builds eventually will be patched in some way (or the game will totally fail with the time).

Sounds very risky. Reminds me of the Polt build a little. Not a fan of all-in, cause I want satisfying good micro/marco games, but could lead to many victories.

True. Ack!

Knowing how to play an all-in is fine, but does not improve you as a player all too much.

How does this work against cannons, when i expand as toss and see the Terran go for a 1base push i just put down 3-5 cannons at my front while getting non stop immortal and sentry low stalkers numbers since all Terrans are using PDD. Without cannons you just get roflstomped by stim and PDD

By insane do you mean incredibly abusive of game mechanics? even the repair patch hes yet to stop all this nonsense

Their is another thread about the same thing with banshees, the scvs still really mess up the zealot AI making these all ins ridiculous still.

In the case of this build, two Thors are there and will surely be repaired. Zealots can have a field day with that. While I agree that they really do need to patch the Zealot vs SCV repairing Air, I don't think this build is abusive to the game mechanics.

Not nearly as bad, but still incredibly stupid.
Forums is full of complaining for bigger maps and longer games but every day we see a new ridiculous all in that some random found out by making X units and SCV pulling, its getting really old fast.

Protoss would need to build immortals (chrono'd) and go very zealot heavy. If they prepare for a banshee + marine + PDD push they will die to this push (stargate + stalker + sentry) so it would be a good idea to hide the armory/thors by keeping them near your raven. Immortals chew through thors like butter.

The reason that medium skilled terrans stick to 1 base is that the longer the game (expecially vs zerg) goes on, the more of a disadvantage it feels they are at
hah.

Open phoenix ---> profit. Transition to Void Ray or mothership.

Phoenix will delay this timing like crazy, sniping ravens / scvs making buildings / mules & SCVs.

So basically anything terran can dump out at the 10 minute mark is devastating? its always svc+marines + [thors/ravens/banshees/conc mauraders]. I feel like SVC's are the root of the problem. It shouldn't be so easy and rewarding throw away workers like that.

To all you Toss, here's me beating this build with a 1 gate FE, the mixed tech and lack of army size makes it pretty easy to stop

[image loading]

This is the epitome of gimmicky Terran builds >.<

Well, the reason why it works, is because SCVs are very useful early on, as just workers. But once you are at 22 workers on a base (6 on gas, 16 on minerals, and a mule), you are at the same economy with terran as you would be with another race that had 24 SCVs on minerals, and 6 on gas.
SCVs are also really efficient damage soakers for terran. Imagining that you would want to do a one base push, you could for example stop making SCVs once you reach 20-25, and use the money to throw down an extra barrack, and make some marines. But just making more SCVs that you dont really need for your economy anymore, provides a bigger meatshield.
Protoss works the same way, for a toss all-in, you stop making workers at a certain point, and then you use your macro mechanic, and some minerals to make a melee range efficient meatshield. For toss, its chronoboosting army buildings, and making zealots, for zerg, its using spwn larva to make lings, for terran, its muling, and using the CC to make SCVs to fight.
