Why is there no 1-1-1 build?

The strength of the 1-1-1 was the map pool and short rush distances, the Nexus cannon doesn't change that if you include a Raven with PDD.

I'm certain it is impossible stop close spawns on Metalopolis. The first Banshee shows up at your base in essentially no time, and then tanks are sieging up your base only a few minutes later.


Metalopolis is forced cross spawn, or at least no close by air


Doesn't excuse the lack of a 1-1-1 build honestly.

The problem with cannon rushing in HOTS is that low ground pylons can't power high ground cannons. That really limits what the Protoss can do. I used to execute great cannon rushes versus Zerg on Shakuras against their natural that way.



Well, 50% of this article is sarcasm, the other half is trolling really

Back in WoL we knew how to defend all these cheese, and they are not more powerful now.

And in the other hand do you really think last season was lacking 11/11 rax and bullshit?


well back in wol yes but nowadays if u open up a wol build and the enemy f.e. TvP protoss goes fast oracle ur simply dead... wings of liberty times are over, and just old maps dont bring it back... they just put the kinda sloppy balance on even worse balanced maps... well done blizz, at least they gave me a heroes key so i dont have to play this season...

This season is interesting because we have no pro guidelines to go by - pros are still playing real maps - and we have to come up with our own builds. The maps are all glaringly broken when you consider the last map pool's meta and the new HotS units so cheese will reign supreme.

Doesn't matter how broken Swarm Hosts are on Daybreak if they never get a Lair. At least that's how I'm playing it! <3 <3 <3

Anyway, as it turns out, this kind of bullshit would actually be legit on maps where you can use your tempests/oracle to harass the Terran mineral line as well as his ramp defense...you know, older maps like Metalopolis, Cloud Kingdom, Daybreak, maybe Shakuras... Too bad they aren't...oh wait. RIP terran.

Ahhh, now we return to the forever daunting question of how one possibly stops a perfectly executed Soul Train as a Zerg. Fun stuff, the unbeatable strategy T_T.

I WAS TOTALLY THINNING ABOUT THIS BUILD! However, seems like it gets shut down by msc (I'd assume).

I've learned already that 75% of games against protoss this season are gonna start with a cannon rush. At least I know where to check for them now

You didn't include the nifty cannon rush on Akilon where you build one cannon at the third and then build cannons at the natural.

OH MY GOD.

This ladder season has been just the most ridiculous stupidest thing.

Every single game is cheese by both players.

I've been proxy hatched, proxy raxed, proxy gated.... everything imaginable.

I'm checking for proxies against all three races now.... -_______-

THIS IS SO DUMB LOL
