please, please, please, get a goddamn worker to watch your own ramp before or around 9 food.

I'm so goddamn sick of noob-ass farts who get cannoned and ruining the game for the team.

i'm not talking about advanced canon tactics, i'm talking simple canons where a probe simply sneaks in and make canons in a corner somwhere

the reason i'm saying to get worker at the ramp around 9 food is to watch any probe coming up, because that's the earliest time a worker can travel all the way to your base. it's as simple as that.

most often these noob-asses just leave their ramps out of sight, and enemy probes can simply sneak in and hide in some corner somewhere.

you don't have to sacrifice much, if any at all. Protoss makes a pylon at 9, while terran makes a depot at 10, while zerg can simply move their ovi to the ramp. It's either you sacrifice a bit now to watch the goddamn ramp, or you sacrifice more later by clicking around your own base looking for fog-of-war spots where a probe might be hiding and risk missing it.

i mean, really, is watching ur own goddamn ramp so much to ask?

...

again, i'm not talking about COUNTERING canon rushes.

i'm talking about PREVENTING canon rushes.

which is goddamn easy, simply by sending a drone or an ovi to keep watch at the ramp before or around 9 food.

this way, an early probe can't just freaking sneak up the ramp undetected and go hide in a corner somewhere in wait to make canons.

i'm talking about SIMPLE canons, where the probe simply sneaks up a ramp without the player knowing and hides somewhere in the corner before making canons.

it's so infuriating when it happens, because this is so goddamn easy to avoid, yet about 1 every 3 of my games there are always some noob-ass in my team who gets cannoned this way.
