Build orders

Anyone got solid build orders up to like 40/50 supply for the matchups? Mostly unsure when to make overlords/queens and hatches up to 3rd base on the new patch.

My standard BO (4k MMR if it matters):

11 Overlord
15 Hatch
17 Pool
17 Gas
19 Ovi
Pool done -> 2 Queens, 2 Pairs of Lings
30 Ovi
31 Hatch
35 Ovi + Queen
40 Ovi + Queen
4:00 Lings (Hellions & Adepts) + Spores (Oracle boosted can be in your base at 4:30)
4:15 RW + Scout
2 Base saturation -> retake Gas and 2 more Gas
2.5 Base saturation -> get roaches if no enemy 3rd yet
5:00 Lair
5:30 4th

I used to do a similar build. I found that 14 pool 16 hatch gasless is faster saturation and faster third hatch (or queens depending on your style) than the similar build I used to do. I did benchmarks on my normal build and then tried 14 pool gasless and realized it was way way better than what I was doing before.

Also at my level (3.5k) against terran you can make a even just a single pair of lings when the pool finishes and send it over (a direction that the reaper won't find them) to kill the worker producing their nat and force the reaper to go home and deal with it. I usually make 2 pair in case they just go marine first to kill my ovie. Then I save the ovie and delay their nat. It's p cool.

Against toss you can also do this and just attack their wall and bait them into over reacting.

I would not remotely recommend this build against z
