Scouts killing building SCV

Post by Bart331 »

Scouts killing my building SCV, it pisses me off quite badly that whenever i try to make my barracks some scout comes by and kills my scv, i cant retreat that scv and a 2nd scv coming from mineral line is always too late, i loose 1 scv and my rax isnt up quickly enough so i can't do that tech from my command center. HOW DO I STOP THIS???

Should i put one scv preventive from mineral line on the scout whenever he enters base?

haha yes they do that alot. no just retreat the weak one and get 2 other ones. when you see a probe in your base you will follow him anyway in caes he does proxy
his recharging shields from the toss can be a pain, drones are no problem when they do this

My drone always arrives in time to catch a rax going up. I always immediately try to kill him.

Usually it doesn't work, but on a rare occasion it does. It really gets people at lower levels though. At the very least is pisses someone off and makes them divert there attention to taking care of your harassing worker when they need to be managing there eco and early build order.

yeah i really need to get used to micro my own scout , keeping my build in order and watch out that building scv doestn die, multitasking isnt my strongest point i noticed xD. Maybe i should group 1 scv from mineral line early so he can inmedeiately jump on it if someone tries to kill my building scv. Cause i have grouped my scouting scv on 2, my building scv on 1 and my command center on 4 so i have 1 group spare for this (3). And then i could later overwrite those groups for army.

Thats a very good idea. U'd just hit 1 and halt the building SVC and attack the scout with it and then hit 3 to pull one additional SCV from mineral line to help chasing that scout away.
