Drones are still weaker and generally people put the drones straight to work so their cut off guard and unable to respond trust me it works. Drones have a stronger attack but have less HP. In the very beginning you have 4, if you are working you will have 5, and 6, he will come over with 4 and lose because they attack melee and must pile up, they aren't like marines. It can work, but a really good player shouldn't lose to it. Zerg rush is much cheaper. I've seen it work before where my friend did and trust me it is very effective. Because A) it takes most people off gurad and B) the APC HP advantage is reall doozy in the fighting trust me because the APC is basically worth 1.5 of a drone in combat I've seen it enough

It would only be good for a surprise. Scvs are too bulky and can't gang up as well.

It is why I say it is the cheapest attack because everyone expects the Zerg Rush very few people expect the SVC rush that is really hard to defend against.

It is why I say it is the cheapest attack because everyone expects the Zerg Rush very few people expect the SVC rush that is really hard to defend against. It isn't hardly cheap, it's still too easy to counter. SCV's are balanced out by having a slow build time and phase by having slightly stronger units. They have to sit and build while the other races are cranking them 3 at a time. The only way I see it working is if they start right in front of each other. Humans just have a harder time getting it to work. I've seen it work, but I haven't had it work on me.

They are bulky but if the catch the person off guard which most of the time people are they get slaughtered. That's pretty cheap to me because it can be such an easy victory.

But that goes with any tactic. If you have 4 guys coming at you and you can't defend yourself in time that is a pretty poor player especially if happens more than once. The other races get guys built alot faster, and don't fare tons better in melee combat really. Grouping attacks correctly is everything. They have to zip past the lines of defense in under a minute, or they are outnumbered. The only map it would work is if they are positioned very close, and even then you just retreat your men and build more to work while they are gone and the other base isn't harvesting. Zerg rushes are a pain at times because even if they fail they are used to kill your drones and disrupt your economy long enough so the opponent can tech up while he's fending off your zerglings. Psionic Storm is FAR cheaper than anything, as is reaver drops, Terran is hardly an overall cheap race. They are the hardest to master.

That is waht amkes it cheap not every player is good in fact most aren't I will agree with the rest of your post though they are the hardest to master.

What's your favorite race to play as then?
