It isn't. It's literally the exact same as the 2 reaper 6 hellion build, except you make the armory instead of the starport, it hits the exact same time. Behind it you make your 3rd CC, rax 2-3 and eng bays. It's a macro build, except instead of hellions, it's hellbats. Thing is, Zergs sometimes remember that scouting is not forbidden. Yeah, and if they scout it, it can still do damage. OR, they can just turn away. The indirect damage done by making them make roaches and whatever is enough. | ||

While I understand I don't play people of the same caliber, the standard zerg opening does not do well against it at all. Yeah I also don't get why more people don't open hellbats in some way. Even if you don't do a big all in, just getting the armory for 100/100 makes your hellions 10 times better and can always do some dmg without that much of a commitment since you'll always make 6 hellions anyway. | ||

If roaches are out and the push is defended, you are pretty open for a counter attack. Also, while you can still load in and drop, there's no way to push creep back which should allow zerg to safely take a fast fourth. (imo ofc) | ||

Then your opponent opens Roaches and you're left with delayed third + delayed stim + delayed ups + no Tanks/Banshees vs a Roach counter. | ||

Is there a hardcounter to this tactic that is not a build order (eg. 2base muta)? Because if not, it should be a reliable early midgame push that has a huge potential to put Terran in a lead. | ||
