/starcraft, what are your best troll builds?

bubbles212 · 4 months

As zerg, proxy hatches are pretty fun to pull off.

However, the best build of all time is the planetary fortress rush, hands down.

When I get bored and I want to have fun, I try to think of the silliest things I can put into a medivac and drop into the enemy base.

Like Vikings. Or Reapers. Or only SCV's.

If I played zerg I'd have it be my mission to do a medivac drop with ultralisks in them.

I make every unit, there's no counter to every unit.

In ZvP Mid-Master

I block Protoss FE's with a hatch and make 6 lings rally them behind the mineral lone into their main kill probe.

All the while I'm taking my 2nd and Third base.

Pro players Ive seen using this strategy Moon and SlayerSYugiOh

I like faking colossus against zerg or terran. You can do it by either just seeing them scout your robo bay then just not making any colossus, or using the good ol' hallucinate 2-4 colo then just push to let them see your army then back off. I guess this isn't really that much of a troll build, but I still really love how surprised the opponent must be when they have 10 vikings and I have no colossus.

NauticalInsanity · 4 months

All Protoss players only ever make ONE observer.

In PvP I sometimes do a build where on one base I make two to five observers a token force of stalkers and zealots and as many DTs as I can pump out. I then take my expansion, and snipe with the stalkers any observer my opponent has in his attack and then laugh my way back to his base.

soljwf · 4 months

Make only one of each unit as fast as possible (not including workers) and then a-move. It's called the Highlander build.

whoopingchow · 4 months

I've been 5-raxed and 4-rax reapered :( :(

wankawonk · 4 months

protoss 1/1/1 is pretty fun, you can attack with like 5 immortals, 5 void rays, and a couple zealots at or a little before 10min.

troll build because it's ridiculously easy to counter (just mass marine or hydra), but it destroys a lot of standard compositions (roach/ling, spines into muta, marauder-heavy mmm).

I have a PvZ troll build, but it does have a pretty high success rate. I've beaten GMs with it.

Basically it goes

10 pylon 10 gate 10 gate 13 pylon 13 zealot (chrono) 15 zealot (chrono) 18 zealot 20 zealot

If zerg went hatch first then I keep chronoing out zealots to kill the hatch. If zerg went pool first then I stop producing at 4 zealots, put those zealots on hold position on zerg's ramp, and then drop my own expansion and laugh as zerg puts down 2-3 spine crawlers to defend a zealot all-in that isn't coming. Zerg basically has no choice but to throw down a roach warren, but by the time he gets roaches I have two almost saturated bases and cannons to defend

Axeltoss · 4 months

If I'm playing someone fairly lower level then me it's pretty fun opening 3gate sentry heavy expand with hallucination, and then attacking with like 9 full energy sentries and whatever else I may have, and then making a bazillion of whatever I feel like. It's fun seeing how fast you can get them to leave without them realizing they probably arn't doing so bad after all ^{^}

setuid_w00t · 4 months

I often open my ZvT matches with an early scout followed by a second early scout. Typically, you will get a couple of hits off before the Terran pulls an SCV or two to defend. At that point, your second drone shows up and you kill the one building the rax or depot and the one that was supposed to be defending. Then you leave the base and they send an SCV to resume building the barracks. Then you go back in again and kill that one.

It's probably not economically viable against a good player, but I can almost always go hatch first when I do this because the Terran is so thrown off their game.

el_voido · 4 months

I've got an awesome 2v2 troll build I've developed, together with a friend of mine. We are P and Z. This build is specifically directed against Z-Z opponents, and pretty much won't work against anything else. The Z goes 11 pool 11 gas speedling/baneling, and the P chronoboosts three stalkers. The stalkers are used to snipe off defensive banelings, and to kite roaches, while the banelings are doing damage (this hits at 5 minutes, by the way). In the back, the P is teching to DT's. As soon as the baneling aggression is finally stopped by the two Z's, DT's arrive at their bases. :D

Do you mean Joke builds?

Not everything is trolling.

TheGoomba · 4 months

Saw Dragon do a sweet game today (versus a top 8 diamond to boot) where he made literally just marines and rallied them by the barrel at his opponent. He had probably 9-12 orbitals, and about 30 barracks spread out across his side of the map. Endless streams of marines. I was really shocked at how poorly some diamond players react to his play.

popcorncolonel · 4 months

Mass reaper. Only reapers.

Mass sentry.

1base hive/ultralisk rush.

Theovide · 4 months

starting of with 3 reapers, take mapcontrol with those, take a gold, if rocks in the way kill rocks with reapers, if he attacks, jump into his base and kill his eco. Build more barracks than you have fingers, build marines, attackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

The fun part is that it works in high masters.

edit: the build works in high masters tvt, I haven't tried it in the other mu's but I doubt it'd be succesful.

trinric · 4 months

In masters ZvZ one guy went for really early lair, mass overseer and then without me knowing he blocked the ramp from my main to natural with changelings and destroyed my natural with roaches after sectioning off my army. It was pretty unexpected.

guruPanda · 4 months

In a teamgame-Placement-match agaunst bronzies my buddy once pulled it off to build a forge in their mineral line and cannonrush him succesfully afterwards. I myself like blocking their ramp with DTs.

Thor rush (TvT, TvP) or banshee cloaked with the factory hided on opponent's base (TvT)

obs: The last build I saw ImMvp doing against MKP on MLG

NoseKnowsAll · 4 months

Well this actually does work in the higher levels (I've even seen Rainbow do it once), but you do a 1rax FE vs toss into 5 rax no gas.

Marines, with micro, good unit vs toss.

cupofwin · 4 months

3gate expand into triple stargate +1 +1 carrier push. Gotta hide the 3 stargates as well as possible so they won't have that many vikings

Shikamaru1234 · 4 months

TvP, gas first reactor hellions. Great on maps like Tal Darim and Crevasse. But the troll part is it's really strong.

Kozark · 4 months

i used to smurf (but by no means am i good lol) and try a tvz build where i make ghost/medivac/viking

ghosts the snipe queens, vikings to kill overlords/overseers, medivacs to heal and to elevator drop moar ghosts with cloak

heres the vid against diamond players http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8un7SkTbycI&context=C36c626cADOEgsToPDskKvPT562ALaXdXABvWu_vr_

spacebob42 · 4 months

I like to do a ghost rush in TvZ or T. standard opening, get two ghosts asap with your gas. Then you push. Remember that ghosts instantly kill marines without combat shield by using snipe. After the ghosts you can get more rax or expo or tech to thor.

Zerg: proxy spine crawlers

10 pool

Inject with first queen then walk to opponent's natural

When queen is almost there, send a drone

Build a hatch, cancel, drop tumor and spine crawler.

More drones come, build more spine crawlers.

More queens and spines, tech behind.

confusedX · 4 months

As zerg I have a few :) - mass queen, always a favorite. Proxy hatch against cannon and ffe. Hatch block the ramp also fun. Queen walk over to the ffe, drop a hatch, cancel, make a tumor (repeat) into spine rush of the natural, no speed ling nydus.

As terran I just make marines... and. don't. fucking. stop. moar rines!!!

As protoss my personal favorite is cannon contain into early colossus drop, or open up with a zealot rush and transition into motherfucking carriers (<3 day9)

Odinsama · 4 months

I like to cannon rush in the lategame, if it works I can take the expansion on "his" half of the map because it's now guarded by cannons. :)

Lazys · 4 months

Back when shattered was close spawn, I used to 3g expo with halu.

Attacked with sentries and mass hallucinated zealots.

Poor poor zergs xD

Romeo3t · 4 months

All day today I enjoyed Dragon's( no longer SlayerS =( ) Mass oribital into streaming marines build.

He would open up with out 5-7 orbitals and take about 3 bases before he started adding on tons of rax and one engy bay.

No stim, maybe combat shields if he felt like it. Very little micro, but he would quickly take the whole map and eventually Zergs would just tap out.

These were diamond/masters zergs who I can't seem to beat on the ladder, and he was just making marines and a moving them to victory.

Pretty crazy

shrewmz · 4 months

Open Nexus first in their base, when expo is 50% done, transfer all workers to expansion, follow up with walling them in with proxy 2gates, proceed to mine out their base.

oOOoOphidian · 4 months

4 ghost drop. It's pretty strong against anything that doesn't get a fast viking in TvT, but it's still really silly.

MidnightSun777 · 4 months

4 drone rush! :D Thanks CatZ

retrac1324 · 4 months

TvZ open normally with lots of gas then in the mid game, hide 4 starports 3 with tech lab, 1 with reactor and go mass cloaked banshee/viking. Keep a few marines on the edge of your base to drive out overlords from scouting.

TooGoodToBeGood · 4 months

Spine crawlers and spores only, in ZvT

I was stutter stepping spinecrawlers onto siege tanks. You have no idea how pissed off that guy was.

And because everyone hates on the marine OP-ness so much, i just sack everything and go marines only once i'm ahead enough when i'm playing T

brOwNrA · 4 months

The good ole, max out on sentrys in their smoke and mass hallucinate collossi until i cover their base ^{^}

ultimation · 4 months

8 pool drone rush, works scarily well against everyone.

Drabzalver · 4 months

I actually have one games in master league with:

One base mothership PvT, it also hard counters any 1-1-1 all in where they don't get cloak.
2base proxy carriers PvZ, there's actually a timing window where Zerg is exceptionally vulnerable to carriers, queens and hydras don't do well versus carriers, you focus down overlords fast with them and permanently supply block him.
2base mothership + 6gate PvZ.
Hatch first to his natural ZvX with a lot of spines.
Nexus first to the gold PvT making him think you proxy.
A PvP 4gate where I lock in 2 pylons with 3 gateways in his base, ensuring that his zealots and probes cannot kill it, the only way is with stalkers which take pretty long.

rex0b · 4 months

rushing for colossus drop with speed warpprism after FE vs a FE:ing terran is pretty fun. especially on temple. but i'm in high masters and it works.

cyclestarcraft · 4 months

TvZ build, works best close air positions.

Gas first, raven into 2 cloaked banshee. 2nd gas at the same time as your factory. You need to bunker your front. Move out, PDD (stops all zerg AA), cloak, snipe queens with banshees, and kill what you expand. Then put the factory on the tech lab, get tanks, and transition into standard. :D

tido170 · 4 months

Zerg vs terran. As a zerg, load queens in overlords, drop them in the terran base, creep the base with the overlords and add cree tumors with the queens. He is gonna have to waste many scans to clean this up if you do it at multiple spots at the same time. very funny to watch

tido170 · 4 months

As a toss you can mass hallucinate.

I also massed sentries vs terran and spent he whole game splitting his army. Easy counters to that are tanks or ghosts.

Thor drop with 2 medivacs and 8 scv's. Hits around 6ish. Scv's repair thor and each other. Medivacs repair scv's. Thor kills everything. Best vs zerg because the lings can't surround the thor with scv's on it and roaches are dead fast.

This one definately, I do believe that it's not possible anymore tho due to the energychange of the overseers contaminate, but it's still fun to watch in this video and it's the ultimate troll build :D

Farn · 4 months

If I scout a zerg and he hasn't expanded yet, I build a bunker at his natural and make it hell for him to try and mine from it.

I don't know why I only do it against Zerg. I guess it's because building units to defend against it costs them more than it would cost the other races.
