Wouldn't it be great to use that apm on something else like drone rush, microing your infestors or checking the map. When talk about buffing zerg, this could helping good zerg to get better, and I dont think keep scrolling a mouse wheel is anything skillful. 

Personally, I think terran is a little bit too strong right now. Although I do not have exact win rate statistic, but I feel like 3 average terran (who have ok macro and play aggressively but with bad micro) can make a zerg struggle pretty hard. I feel like the big nerfing of roaches and the buffing of shatter might be the reason. Zerg right now is lacking tools to counter t2 balls. Maybe it is time to nerf the terran a little bit? Try to make a poll to see what everyone thinks.

17 min push t2 without pressure before it

you are asking to be defeated x)

First of all this is a fun build, I am not saying it is better than 3 terran T1 push.
And this is just a schedule, which I was basically a second target of the zerg. Without pressure you can easily get 10 cows at 10:00, and start pushing with t2 and firebats from there.
What I meant by 17:00 is the time you should absolute stop econing, spend everything on casting T2 and killed the zerg, Because Brutalisk will be soon out if zerg is rushing it.

T2 Rush Build Idea

With the new update as T2 marines become much stronger, I have tried a new build of rushing T2, and usually can end game before brutalisks come out.
Similar to same old bunker bulid at the beginning,  take 3 gas and wall up quickly, defend with reapers and shock troopers, econ hard if the zerg does not focus you. By the time of 12:00 - 14:00, you could have about 6 sheep and 6 cows, which is about 300/200 (min/gas), you may have more if you are under very little pressure and if you take any side gas.

Get tech lab and upgrade t2 after that. Firebats are super strong against light armor units and very energy-efficient! (see what 1 fb with walls can do )

Similar build to secure your side gas easily as well.

From now you can either start pushing if zerg is heavily building on econ, use firebats and a few T2 to push, (Firebats tank zerg units, and T2 attack zerg's buildings)
or you can also keep building econ till 500/300. Meanwhile, get the armory and upgrade marine tech.(overcharge -> con 1 -> shatter -> con 2 -> penetrate -> ...)

Around 17:00, you should start autocasting t2 and you should be able to easily take down large spines with a large number of t2.

I tried a few game against a few average zerg players, and this build seen playable. I think firebats are actually super strong and maybe need some nerf.
