4 gate + robotics = my best build which rarely fails me cuz it counters everything my opponent goes. 2 gate + stargate = depends on the map, and if have committed mainly to melee units. i don't like to proxy gate anymore, cuz it doesn't work in diamond. i like to scout my opponent and pretend im looking everywhere and drop a proxy pylon in their base when they aren't paying attention and continue scouting lol, works 50% of the time.
Since your in diamond you be able to give me advice as im only a bronze/silver league play. I start off by building to my limit of probes then build one pilon, once thats built i build a gateway and the gas building(can't remember some names) then i build cyber and whilst the cyber is being built i build 2 zelets, once i've built a cyber i build 2 stalkers and do a little harrasment. Depending on what the player was building i build either robo to counter a ground force or star to add to more harrasment then build a robo once he thinks im going all out air. do you reckon this is a good tactic that im using for the lower leagues and if i was to be highered up what adjustments would i need to make ??
I would say it depends greatly on your opponent's actions. I would rather have 2-4 gateways up and running quickly than a handful of infantry units to "harass" my opponent with. Do some scouting with an observer or use your ally's buildings to create a good strategy that counters theirs. My build order with protoss focuses on early photon cannons and expansion, but that may be why I'm not performing as well with protoss as I am with other races .
Would either of use two play with me in a 2vs2 against comp or someone and show me how you play because i need to see how higher ranking players play ??
Wall off my chock point and build 2 stargates spamming phoenixes,then getting them to destroy the enemy workers.Works most of the time,and when it doesn't work as intented it always leaves you with a good force which can fit with virtually anything i decide to continue.
http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Phoenix Ahem. So you attack their mineral flow with a unit that can only attack air? Was that a typo or do you just not play this game very well?
I never completely wall off. I use a gateway and a pylon to make a narrow choke, and just stick a few zealots in there. Might as well be a perfect wall, there's no way lings can beat that fighting one at a time.
