Thus why I switched to Zerg. I can ZvP pretty well, I cannot TvP at all.

................ I'm so angry right now and I just don't know a better way to get off with my anger. I seriously believe that Terran vs Protoss is Terran favored if you play it right and know how to abuse Terran to the right amount, but I just fucking can't do it.

When I try to drop, he has an observer that spotted it, blink stalkers in position or a warp in ready. When I take big fights and EMP perfectly and all his colossus die to my vikings I win the fight and lose because I cannot beat the reinforcements.

I fail to understand the timings and mechanics the match up totally. I don't know how I can expand, don't die to timings while having enough units to pressure myself. When I send out a drop I seem to have not enough units to do a harass in multiple places or create pressure. A Terran army is also so fragile to balance. If you have too much vikings, you miss firepower. If you have too low medivac count you miss healing power. If you have not enough marines, chargelot kill you. If you have too many, colossus and storm ownes you.

I seriously have no clue, since no matter how I open or how I play, I seem to run into counters blindly or just perform really bad. Sometimes I throw away due to overagression... but I just cant SIT and do nothing and wait for Protoss to move in the open... but all my harass attemps are shut down with so much precision.. that I end up being 5 base vs 5 base.. which is not a good situation.

I can win the maxed out battles, but I can never win against reinforcements, since Protoss reinforcements are nearly instant while mine are not......... FML.

I don't know what is so hard about making marauders. You can win 80% of TvP's with good macro + some basic multi-task drops. You have to hit stim and run when the storm hits too.. but that's kind of obvious. Good luck.

One thing I find frustrating in TvP is that you can't really punish a Protoss who has a bad army placement. Like if you are doing multiply drops and he just a-move his whole 1 control group-army to one expansion, your other "free" drop wont make any damage because he can just warp-in units to save his ass.

And the fact that you can die when he expands but pressure you and just reinforce with warp-in after warp-in is so annoying. ;_;

I understand how frustrating this game is so I won't say much, but coming from a Protoss player.

Its not that easy. Terran are tough. ♥

THIS. I hate bioballs so much. To the OP: You think Terran is favored in TvP, and I agree with you. Just keep working on it. What league are you in? We can do practice matches if you want.

I find this funny because I am always fustrated with the PvT matchup and can't think about how to win it.

I'm not gosu by any standerds. But here is basically what I came up with for terran to destroy protoss.

7 minute timing (if he has expo, it dies)
Transition into marauder heavy with maybe %25 marines behind marauders.
Once you get 3rd base you should be close to max. Slowy tech away from bio and start making mech.
Either try to drop him to get rid of your supply or try to lose a little bit at a time in order to make mech.
Get upgrades for mech. Get a lot of tanks and even more thors.
Once your bio is widdled away you have a full mech army and should have taken your 4th and 5th by this time.

If he has colo. Then this should be decent to counter. Though you should have vikings that easily deal with colo.

Generally if you play harass style he won't have as many bases. You can easily keep him from being maxed while you get your 3/3 upgraded mech and then just sit with your tank and wait for him to come to you. once he does. you win.

well, whatever you do, don't listen to this guy

also, just doing drops obviously isn't enough to win it

drops are more for putting their main army out of position or a really good harass if you know their main army is out of position to clean it up otherwise it does literally nothing and you'll probably be on the losing end to some warp ins

My point is finally. regardless of whatever he does. Nobody doesMech Terran vs Protoss. I added in bio because he seems to use bio more. If he went full mech, He would win because protoss cannot handle mech well if they are not prepared for it
