**** Original Starcraft 2 Thread ****

A word of advice please.

I have been playing pretty much exclusively as terran and doing ok for myself however I am struggling with protoss cannon rushes. Most effectively, my opponent sends one of his starting probes over to my base which then proceeds to build a pylon. The probe then runs around in circles which basically makes it 100% immune to attacking it with SCVs.

I can always dedicate all my SCVs to taking down the pylon but I am runing my econ and he can build another pylon cheap as chips.

As soon as the toss have the building that they need to purchase a cannon the probe then spams 3 down in a row.

Normally my build entails
9 supply depot
11 rex
11 refinery
11 techlab

This is enough to wall off my base before zealots or zerglings normally get there. The only way to counter the cannon rush is to build by rex much more aggresively at 7 or 8 which screws my econ.

Any ides and suggestions?

Observers raping his base? :D

They were Dark Templar dude. Extremely powerful units that can kill most light units in one hit, but they only have about 40 HP so die very easily. You need detection to kill them. Turrets, scans, photon cannons, observers, ravens and overseers can detect things.

I completely empathise with you, I'm zerg and I hate cannon rushes, I have a harder time than you will have dealing with them

Your terran, build your supply depot and your barracks at your choke point to block yourself in. He should struggle to get into your base if you do this promptly.
If he does send the scout early enough to get into your base put 2 scvs to the task of chasing him about the base and ignore the pylon. Have 3 scvs ready to build the cannon. Cannons have less health than pylons, cost more (and I think) take longer to spawn. 3 SCVs will take out a pylon before it comes online. If you get it as it starts spawning. Keep focused on your economy and building your standard army. Once you have a few army men, shoot the pylon down (and kill the prob if its not already dead).
 
really sick of 2v2 where my partner leaves in first bit.
nearly owned two other guys but they got orginsed when I wiped out their 2nd bases.
 
Ive got a couple of strange bugs since the update...

On starting the game i get the terms and conditions to accept or deny every time.

When I quit it always hangs on with the menu background. I have to alt ctrl dele and end task to exit
 
Chekced on battle.net forums and loads of people are craching when exiting the game after patch 11. A few are also having to accept terms everytime they start the game
 
same, been getting it ever since patch. also I've had to drop the settings down a bit too because it was causing lag!
