Ok, so lately I have been experiencing zvps that went normally untill this point: "ooowwh, a shuttle, ooowh, 2 rvrs, ooowh, move drones"

This goes on for a while and a few drones occasionally, but... somehow I never ever have enough units to actually kill the shuttle+rvrs.

So, when I'm facing rvrs it's mostly, shuttle, drop, micro rvr in-and-out, kill units, GG.

Ways to prevent this?

Reaver range > sunken range...

Anyhow, I haven't had any 1 rvr drop as of late, so don't know if it's double robo or not, probably not, I'm just slow.

Another thing might be, how the hell am I suposed to expect/anticipate for reavers, I'm the one who is supposed to be using insects, not the protoss

Reavers are not that common PvZ, but if you do encounter them, hope you put a spire down somewhere, and then keep 2 scourge at each mineral mining base. That shuttle won't last long while scourge hang around.

sunken is for slow him down -_-;;instead of a direct attack to drones-_-;

god lol fuking reavers suck pvz. ANY GOOD ZERG WILL SCOUT ANY TECH OF TOSS.... If protoss is proxy'ing zerg should see that something is missing. Sprire > robo unless its a ultra fast reaver (but then zerg can just kill toss with lings) and you can take out the morphing spire. So basicly its a very bad opening with small chances of succes.

i really like tsunami's primary counter = burrow, never failed me.
Nothing better then watching a toss suicide a shuttle with reavers into a defended base with bunch of drones only to see them burrow.

Burrow hydra's, having the shuttle fly over the burrowed hydra's unsuspected, then killing the shuttle by unburrowing

most satisfying thing in zvp -_-;

Still, the best counter for reavers is 2 scourge.

Good counters for reaver drops =

1. Scourge
2. Lurkers
3. Mutalisks(I prefer these since I usually Muta against Toss anyways)

Lurkers vs reavers is the most stupid thing you can do.

how is it stupid to keep a lurker lying around ur base? Who the hell sends observers to go with reavers? The lurkers will force him to leave and give you time to bring up scourge.

I research burrow in 90% of my zvps nowadays.. cuz losing drones to drops is fucking weak, and 100/100 is super cheap for saving 236424 drones
