Complete Crap!

I have noticed so much in ladder latly That this Crap is happening

WTF blizzard. This is hte most stupid shit and so easy to execute..

A Zerg should apparently patrol and drone there.. Even then losing Mining time on the worker... Complete Shit.

Just being picky here but, losing a small amount of mineral income is better than leaving the game, yea?

Nope. If you don't have to do it in tournament games why should you on ladder. If people pylon block me I just take the loss. I'm not going to change my build for imbalanced maps.

Re: Complete Crap!

This is what's called "The Chadmann". Been around for a while, just patrol. Like System says, better to lose 50 or so minerals than the game.

This is SEA, I've played that guy before, and if you patrol a drone, he cannon rushes anyway lol

Re: Complete Crap!

Or you could do the PsyStarcraft trick (I'm not sure if it still works).

Step 1. Box all your drones,
Step 2. Move to ramp
Step 3. Shift click a mineral patch OUTSIDE the wall a few times (one that's closer to the ramp than any other spot in your base)
Step 4. Attack Pylon with all your drones (not shift click)
Step 5. Repeat until pylon dies.

Re: Complete Crap!

Cancel the hatch, throw up another 1 somewhere else, go 2 base hydra, keep in mind that the protoss is a ******* terrible player and deserves to die a miserable death, and from that point go by what you scout. If they go collossus, throw down extractors and hatches everywhere and browse reddit for half an hour.

Re: Complete Crap!

Thank you so much for this blog. I JUST played QuiksLvR on ladder and 10 pooled as well as drone patrolled, knowing he would probably do this. I'm not sure if this was his plan, but either way I won thanks to the 10 pool. Thanks guys.

Isn't it a bit to cheesy for you

?

Edit: also soundwave, if you 10p you don't need to patrol the drone, the 10p guarantee's that if they do the normally timed 3 pylon block it will fail. Any later pool and your still susceptable to it.

Why is it named this? Is it a cannon that fires *****, or a **** that is literally a cannon?

I demand less ambiguity on such an important matter.

Re: Complete Crap!

Instead of complaining about it, just learn to effectively counter it. It's very easy to do. Once you reach that point, you'll WELCOME every idiotic Protoss who attempts this against you because they'll just be shooting themselves in the foot economically, and delaying their own expansion. They often transition out of failed-pylon-block to 4-gate or dt's and either way you win.

Re: Complete Crap!

Just patrol a drone there for gods sake. Yes that strat is utter horseshit but the economic loss isnt even that bad.

When I lose a half hour macro game vs a toss im never like OH GOD I SHOULDNT HAVE PATROLED MY DRONE AT 2.20 FML IM SO SHIT.

Re: Complete Crap!

I don't know if you hatched first there, but people do it against pool firsts, especially on Korea. It is perfectly fine against hatch first, but being forced to patrol a drone when you open with a less economic build is just completely ******* stupid game design. There will be games where the pylons go up vs a pool first just because you weren't fully alert and it turns into a 1 base crappy all in or 2 minutes behind the protoss macro game.

And the drone-mineral stack is not reliable in the slightest. It works on minimal maps and If you try it and it doesn't work for whatever reason that is an instaloss
