Chill out... 1stly this cheese is so easy to break it is deserves no mention. Others have already said, set drone next to extractor as scouting probe comes in or failing that, arc shield your own Nexus set some drones on it and continue mining... Come on!! | ||

Can we all stop concluding that you can't do anything against this? Yeah, it's not like it's the 1/1/1. :p It's mostly to help hold drops and early aggression, which is a big reason toss loses right now, especially PvT. That's basically it. | ||

I have the ultimate counter. Run your scvs away for 15 seconds and you're still way ahead. You're welcome all. | ||

If Artosis of all people can deal with it, quite frankly 1 of 2 succesful attempts does not make a good sample size for discussion. /thread | ||

You're welcome all. lol not even close, 15 seconds of halted mining is totally worth 75 mins and 50 energy, running your shit away would put you so far behind | ||

They've sent a probe early (lost mining time), planted down a assimilator (delayed tech, lost minerals), used energy (crucially slowed their economy down early game by not chronoboosting nexus). All for denying 5 mineral patches for a few seconds (which will be less than 100 minerals lost). Actually, sounds like you get a bargain if the enemy is dumb enough to attempt it. | ||

This is literally the best solution minus the ability being able to be cast on a pylon. Just make the ability cast only on buildings that have pylon power and add the Nexus to the list automatically. Problem solved. | ||
