I was in some 2v2 games vs Terran and Protoss recently, and they never seemed to do anything to justify building them.

I was using them with Marines and Medivacs, but it didn't work really.

Against mass Stalkers, they failed big time, and a single Siege Tank for each Thor would have done a ton more damage there than them.

Against Void Rays and Carrier spam they also failed: not doing near enough AA damage to be half worth it.

I got to use their...

I just can't seem to get out of the Protoss style of play, and my macro is appalling. I go from having no resources and struggling to build basic intrastructure, to having over 1000 minerals banked.

BC has Weapon refit(300 dmg to anything, range 10) --- Thor has 250 mm cannons (500 to all ground, range 7)

Now, here is my concern: I have to get way deep in the tech tree to get the BC. I have to wait 90 seconds to have a BC, 60 to get a thor. Thorvac moves with 2.5 speed, BC with 1.8.

Why would I use a BC? The only thing...

That would be after the first wall (supply-rax-supply) and should be rax-bay. My reasons for rax-bay:
- rax has a good price/health ratio and quite good health and can produce marines/marauders to defend the location and make it more costly to bust.
- Bay. The best price/health ratio structure available. Very fast to build (40 sec) for 850 hp,...

With the “downfall” of the Terran Reaper, it would seem the Terran have lost some of their edge for harassment. Allow me to introduce the rightful heir, the Hellion. At a cost of 100 minerals this is by far the most cost effective unit in the game against light units. Heck, it might be...

I've been using this of late in TvT battles (and a bit in TvP if I don't instant get cheese rushed by drones). Its worked rather well for me, and I think in low level play it suprises people to see mass Hellions ripping their M&M ball to pieces, or being dropped into their mineral line, or having a bunch of uncloaked Banshees tearing their tanks apart, then a wave of Vikings...

I am a noob. I've played numerous unranked and 1 ranked.

Of course I'm Terran, don't know any different. But one thing I noticed HEAVILY in unranked was the amount of Reaper rushing at the start. Mainly to get around that pesky blockades.

It's an obvious tactic but I'd like to know what people think is the best defence against these rocket jumpers.

In absolute fairness - it's a tactic I've been abusing myself to decent success. But I'm sick of each game descending into...

But not a lot of terran players take advantage of their bunkers or the fact they can lift off buildings. It can be very useful once you know how to use them.

Bunkers are important. Many players think they never have to build them but they are very useful especially in TvP because how devastating a 4 gate push can be.

Bunkers also have a great...

I think all terran players should know this especially in the lower leagues because not a lot of protoss players know how to defend against this.

Everyone is familiar with the 3 rax build going very well against the very standard 4 gate build for protoss. When facing protoss there is going to be a time when they will be out numbered by your units if both of you are being consistent with these...
