by then, marauders would have stim, and zealots can't catch up to stim even with charge.

Yeah, marauder is direct counter to the roach but roach is also a counter to hellion rush too. With Thor nerf in the previous patch it can take out thor better too. So I don't think it will be unusable.
About Forge nerf, yeah it seems many people try to cannon rush somehow. I also once got proxy pylon + canon rush in my base (bad scouting for myself), luckily I'm a Terran so I just lift off and land somewhere else.

Roach is not as good as you think, considering how easy they are to counter.

And by horribly wrong, I mean that my timing in terms of attack and expand are just way off. I got caught by surprise as I was trying to expand so my opponents got several shots off me, effectively killing my army. That and I turtled the last three matches. Stupid stupid stupid.
Basically use the basic Terran build order (or slightly changed):
9/11- Supply at choke
11/11 Barracks, right as supply finishes
13/19 Refinery
14/19 Get first marine to kill the scout
15/19 Orbital Command <-- Not sure whether I should use the scan or MULEs with the initial 50 energy. I'm leaning more towards MULEs.
16/19 Second Barracks
And it all falls apart from there.

Being good at macro will get you up to platinum level play.
Some things you might have been doing wrong.
Macro(You have way too many excessive minerals/gas)
Scouting(You didn't scout to see what the enemy player was planning)
Macro(SCV count. You should as a terran player, optimally have 3 scvs on every gas and mineral field)
Build(Please change the build to suit your play. By cutting scv's in the beginning to make a fast gas and fast raxes, you are cutting down your income to make other things. And as you know, having less income than the other player leads to them getting more income exponentially over time, and you start to fall behind and lose.)
The general problem with playing in the lower leagues is macro and scouting. If you can macro, and scout well, then you can win a lot of your games.
