Either attempt to take an early 3rd once u sense mech play if he doesnt attempt to contain you with hellions, or tech quickly to 2 base mutas and use them to harrass terran and abuse mech's immobility. Also use mutas to try to delay the 3rd for as long as possible and ensure he never leaves his base. Roach drops can work as well but it requires greater multitasking. Snipe addons, upgrades, anything you can get. Meanwhile get to 4 bases and once you've accomplished that, head towards hive and on 8 gases you can continually pump broodlord/infestor/roach and crush your opponent with your superior eco.

At platinum level it's not so much a matter of strategy but rather execution. You can win with a silly unit composition, it's just a matter of mechanics/multitasking/fundamentals.

Watch game 2 of Violet vs Demuslim from the Lone Star Clash last weekend. It was a perfect example of how to crush TvZ mech. Demuslim's TvZ mech is amazing, he beat Nestea with it just a few weeks ago. But Violet dominated it from start to finish in very convincing fashion.

My friend quit after losing TvZ. He went mech and his opponent went mass baneling.

Try mass baneling. =D

Hellions will kite that shit and tanks won't let banes get near them.

nestea did it vs nada

im pretty sure in platinum league, you can make it work easily.

Holy shit O_O but still those were just alone Thors, no hellions or tanks in sight. I know that banes are very good vs hellions that stand still or are trapped between my roaches and the rest of my opponents army... hmm maybe I'll try it if I get too many lings and won't want to waste them on hellions.

I think I'll go with roach drops, mutas die too easily to thors, I can't focus anything because they clump and get smashed by splash... hmm magic boxing could work, well next time I don't know it's mech and make mutas instead of roaches and infestors I'll try more magic boxing. Yeah superior eco is the thing I need.

rush for lair and pump 10 mutas to force thors and keep him on 2 base. then go for 80 drones and while teching to roach infestor. as soon as he move out of his base, doom drop into his main. even use nydus'

Just go Broodlord infestor/Roach. Mech can't really punish players that max expand, they don't have really good timings.

Spine it up!

Whenever I mech I always end up getting destroyed by burrow move roaches...Such a pain. I am surprised I don't either see lots of drops by Zerg, or burrow-move roaches against mech at higher levels. You hardly ever see Ravens in a mech composition and hiding your burrow move tech is so devastating.
Thank you bureaucrats for all your hard work, your commitment to public service and public good is essential to the lives of so many. Also, for Pete's sake can we please get some gun control already, no need for hand guns and assault rifles for the public
