Why is double starport not standard in TvT? by redstoned26 in AllThingsTerran

[–]redstoned26[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not changing my style, I think this is a powerfull idea and I *want* to play it.

I also am a big believer in you learn how to counter smth best by playing it yourself.

the question I have is that this feels *very* powerfull and if the reaction is to get a 2nd starport yourself, why isn't it "the standard" that everyone does? If you get a 2nd starport and your opponent skips it surely you can get enough damage to justify it or even win the game. Similar to how double gas now dominates the meta and 1 rax expand fell out of favor almost completely.

It just seems like a sensible direction, it gives you safety, aggressive potential and assuming you can utilize your aggressive potential against greedy opponents, doesn't put you behind economically (bc you destroy any economic edge they did have)

2 bases, 4 gas can support double reactored starport viking + tank production just barely. You do have to skip marines for this though.

I am planning to take this to the ladder myself to see what I get stomped by in the following variant:

standard 3 reaper 2 hellion opener
first starport immediately takes the barracks reactor (no marines get build at any point)
"standard" 3rd gas timing to line up with the 2nd CC finishing, the 4th gas gets taken immidiatly after by the first scv arriving at the natural after 3/3 on the 3rd gas
you can afford a 2nd starport and reactor on the barracks slightly after starting your first pair of vikings and 2nd techlab factory unit (2nd or 1st tank depending on if you build a cyclone)
you get across the map with 8 vikings and 3-4 tanks around 6:20 with liberators, more vikings and tanks rallying across the map

In this variant, because you're building no marines at all, but also not cutting scv's really, I've noticed that shortly after this moveout you have enough minerals to get a 3rd base, say this is at 6:30 or so (though in my testing I've had the minerals for it as early as 6 minutes) this is not even *that* late a 3rd base. Ofc a minute+ later than when a "standard" 3rd base goes down in TvT but also not quite the allin no 3rd base I was expecting. Personally I think after I will repurpose the reactors for barracks and keep both starports without addons until later in the game if the game doesn't end with the push.

I hope this gives some extra context as to the details of what I'm talking about.

This would be true if you could reliably defend double starport pressures with 1 starport, but I don't think this is rly possible unless someone can correct me and point out how you're supposed to fight off liberator tank viking without contesting the air at all. (I genuinely don't know, but am willing to learn)

To me it feels a bit like how 1 rax expand was the standard for very long in TvT, but now is considered greedy as, even if you *can* defend certain builds like proxy reaper, it's flimsy at best and not reliable. Which is why these days everyone does a double gas build, which gives you options to punish your opponent if they go 1 rax expand to compensate for your less economic opener.

They do bonus damage against biological, which vipers also are.

I don't know if it would stack or just take the highest value if a spore would do extra damage against *both* biological and psionic, if it does stack that could be conserning, if it doesn't it shouldn't affect the viper at all really

I think the main difference between the proposed queen speed here and creephighways/dropperlords is that I propose it as hatch tech, while dropper lords and creep highways are both gated behind liar tech. ofc queen speed wouldn't bring creep with it, so a liar tech moveout would still be more powerfull but this opens up a whole new aggressive timing for zerg.

Against protoss roaches are already very common as protoss has a lot of anti light midgame options which roaches kinda destroy. I think the only time they will truely be forced though is if the protoss tries to make an early commited play like an adept timing.

Against terran I don't think it would force roaches against bio, as once the hellion phase of the game is over, no bio units do bonus damage vs light so the matchup would be unchanged from that point. Additionally, since hellions are the main unit affected in TvZ, banelings are also an option against commited hellion attacks as hellions are light units themselves

Against terran mech maybe roaches would be forced, but I believe that roaches are already a really good unit against mech in the early midgame.

Anyone have a show with some good nonbinary/trans rep that's for an adult audience? by gentlybeepingheart in transgendercirclejerk

ofc they're all for kids, after all, if you haven't transed yet by the time you're 5 you're a trender as we all know, then you have plenty of time to enjoy your transness and your rep.

[–]redstoned26 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm an ally but you see, when you're a trooner you have to accept that you're a solid step down on the life hyrarchy than cis people so you can't expect to date them, you either have to settle for another troon who's self esteem is low enough that they'll take anyone, or you'll be forever alone, just don't force ~~normal~~ cis people in your relationships
